The more you develop, the poorer you get? How did the Philippines go from being a rich country to a

Because they were closed off from the country and did not interact with the outside world like the Qing Dynasty at the beginning, they slowly developed into a poor country.

First, the Philippines adopts the United States** system, and there is serious infighting between different political parties in the country; Second, the Philippines is an island country, with backward infrastructure and slow economic development; The third is the replacement of the four Asian tigers in the center of the Philippines, and the economic recession.

That's because the people are still too pedantic, and they used to look down on the countries around them that had no money, but now the countries around them that have no money are rich. I can't make it up myself. I want to rely on the United States or other EU forces, but seeing that you are so poor, who will help you.

The Philippines is not very poor.

The Philippines has ** relations with 150 countries. The Philippines has actively developed its foreign countries, promoted the diversification of export commodities and the diversification of foreign trade markets, and significantly changed the structure of import and export commodities. The export value of non-traditional export commodities such as garments, electronic products, handicrafts, furniture, fertilizers, etc., has caught up with the export value of traditional commodities such as mineral products and raw materials.

Although the World Economic and Monetary Agency has classified the Philippines' PPP per capita as a very low level, and the Bank of the Philippines has never declared the total reserves of the bank vaults, there are still a large number of dollars in Philippine foreign exchange reserves (including **) that are declared as the 23rd in the world, larger than Australia, Canada, Germany and other European countries.

Introduction to the Philippines

The Philippines is located in southeastern Asia. It is separated from Taiwan by the Bass Strait to the north, Indonesia and Malaysia by the Sulawesi Sea and Balabac Strait to the south and southwest, the South China Sea to the west, and the Pacific Ocean to the east. There are more than 7,000 large and small islands, of which 11 major islands, including Luzon, Mindanao and Samar, account for 96 of the country's total area.

The Philippines has the world's largest reserves of untapped natural gas, gold, deuterium (glacial hydrogen), palladium, nickel, and even oil. In addition, it is one of the world's largest deposits of copper, platinum, coal, iron, chromite, manganese, limestone, marble and other non-metallic minerals. The Philippines is the only country in the world with large deposits of metallic and non-metallic minerals due to over-exploitation of minerals in many countries.

Half of the top 10 richest people in the Philippines are ethnic Chinese and overseas Chinese.

The second embarrassing reason is that the population of the Philippines is in a state of crisis. Why? Because in 1946, the total population of the Philippines was more than 18 million, but after more than 70 years of development, the population of the Philippines has increased dramatically, and has reached more than 100 million people.

The rapid expansion of the population has also made the burden on the country very heavy. The country's infrastructure is very weak, and the country's population growth is a disaster for the country.

On the one hand, this may be due to the lack of good development of technology, and on the other hand, it may also have something to do with the local people's unwillingness to work hard.

It is because of the Philippine policy and the country's geographical location that the economy cannot be improved, and the manufacturing industry is also from a low position.

Because Philippine politics has been in turmoil. Under the influence of the Green Revolution and agricultural harvest programs, the Philippines achieved short-term self-sufficiency with average annual food growth in the 1970s, but came to a halt again in the 1980s. Food security issues have become increasingly acute, and with the wave of agricultural mechanization in the world in the 1980s, the Philippines has undertaken many reforms to increase agricultural productivity and modernize.

The level of agricultural mechanization has been greatly improved, but it has not led to an increase in grain production and farmers' income. Although the increase in the level of mechanization has increased agricultural productivity and improved the efficiency of agricultural scale production, it has also directly reduced the demand for labor in agricultural production and stimulated the enthusiasm of landowners, feudal families and big capitalists to further carry out land consolidation and expansion.

Agricultural production of non-food crops, mainly raw materials or other cash crops, continues to expand, which undoubtedly significantly reduces the land available to farmers and agricultural employment opportunities. As a result, the agrarian system did not transition to self-cultivation, but to the extreme aspects of privatization, where the peasants had no land to cultivate, no jobs, and the vast majority of the peasants had no land and no economy. The power to lease the land, a large number of landless and unemployed peasants were forced to pour into the cities.

Although the Philippines was moderately urbanized and industrialized in the 1970s, it had not yet made a qualitative leap to absorb such a large population.

Landless and unemployed peasants have evolved into urban and rural migrants, and unemployment has quickly become a social and social problem. Political unrest and social unrest lead to a further economic downturn, which in turn increases unemployment and creates a vicious circle. Another aspect of the Green Revolution was to vigorously introduce foreign capital, encourage capital to go to the countryside to expand agricultural production, and rely on foreign non-profit organizations such as the Ford Society and the Rockefeller Society to improve mechanization and scale, but the serious lack of independence and self-reliance, as well as excessive dependence on foreign capital and technology, eventually led the Philippines into the quagmire of American neocolonialism.

This is in line with the pace of the times, there is no problem to keep up, like our China has always been at the top of the advanced in ancient times, but then it was also because of the closure of the country, and it became what it was later in just a few years.

Because the Philippines was in a hurry when it developed later, it was said that it ignored a lot of things, so it became much poorer than before.

The problem of drug smuggling, as well as the tsunami**, and the corruption of leaders have seriously restricted the development of the Philippines, especially the drug problem, which is prevalent in the Philippines and affects life.
