With the value of peso constantly increasing against other currencies, can you say that the Philippines is now improving?

We are improving though not as great as other countries are economically. Now, this is better than no growth at all. I look at a glass half-full rather than half-empty. There are other countries having much bigger problems than ours. Sad to say this: there is no democratic county in the whole world whose morality are improving -- all are going into slide as far as this thing is concerned.

Agreed. The primary thing about democratic country is freedom and that could affect morality. Also beleive our country is improving. ;P

I'll say not much. In my experience, though peso is increasing but the prices of commodities are still high. Look at the survey... the rate of poverty is higher than before. Why is this so? Because the the main problem which is the population continuously grows. PESO is increasing = increasing Population which is twice or even thrice the rate of the former. How can you say that Philippines is growing?

one area to consider! good observation. this problem can be solved by the people itself. family planning could be a great solution.

I think it is still the same . I could say that our country is really improving if the rate of fees from electric bills, phonelines and even prime commedities and medicines would lower down. That is the only time I would say that our country Philippines is improving in terms of economy.

i agree, morality should be a factor in a country's development. and it is a hard part to improve.

HI there! I agree that PESO is increasing little by little and its a good thing for us Pinoys. However I think itll be no good 4 OFWs who also pays OWWA the same rate "50+" pa din. But yeah I think generally its good for our country as well. ^_^
