Or they are simply hiding it in the US Library of Congress and would like share it to us their former colony.

    Hardly struggling when the economy has been growing 6% on average for the past two decade, its the doubling of the PH's GDP from 176 USD Billion to 376 USD Billion, poverty went from 33% in 2006 to 21% in 2018, its industries are expanding particularly the Semiconductor Industry and the BPO and IT Sector. Infrastructure spending averages about 6% of the country's GDP for the past years, I anticipate the economy would only continue to grow from here.

    Treaty of Paris where the Philippine Islands were sold by the Spaniards $20M to the US, literally the land itself, and not the inhabitants or the Filipino people and we became the nation without land, in short squatter lang tayo sa sariling bansa, kaya hindi tayo napabilang sa one of the US states...they just got our natural resources like gold,, copper, steel and other minerals...sugarcane and coconut were exported to the US with less tax since were a US colony..we were slaved. Until now they are still interested at patuloy ang panghihimasok nila sa internal affairs natin, lalo na sa politics and foreign relations....kakaibiganin tayo pero pagdating ng giyera iiwan din...🤣🤣🤣

    I admit that we are struggling now, but we're improving, I mean the poverty rate dropped from 45% to 16% under Duterte. And the economy is growing. Yes, its not perfect, but its improving. Remember what Manuel Quezon himself said "I would rather have a government run like hell by Filipinos than a government run like Heaven by the Americans because no matter how corrupt a Filipino government might be, we can always change it".

    This is a problematic mindset, it essentially tries to have an inferiority complex, rather than guided nationalism towards national development. But I think you're also overlooking that the country has been significantly progressing since the 2000s, when the economy has been growing 6% on average for the past two decade, its the doubling of the PH's GDP from 176 USD Billion to 376 USD Billion, poverty went from 33% in 2006 to 21% in 2018, its industries are expanding particularly the Semiconductor Industry and the BPO and IT Sector.
