Why is your question in the immigration section? \nThe Philippines has too many people and a poor economy, but it is always growing with foreign companies coming in. There are many more very poor citizens than wealthy. The government has a bad reputation and many want the president impeached. Muslims are many in Mindanao especially with gorilla and explosive training terrorist camps. There are many Internet cafes where women lure or try to meet foreign men to ask for money, or try to marry to leave there and most do that for a better future for them an their family as well. There are many lady boys \n( transvestites) there doing the same thing. So this shows you the people there do what they can to survive. Many live in huts or shacks with no utilities and outside toilets and overcrowded. In general a very proud people that becomes more westernized every week. Water standards are poor and too few inoculations for disease, thus the outbreak of viruses is common. Chicken pox, yellow fever, bird flu is rampant in some areas now.

What do you mean by strongest?  Economically strongest, militarily strongest?\n\nWell, in the military case, I would say the US.  We have nuclear weapons, we have satellites for eavesdropping and intelligence gathering, more submarines than any other country, probably the largest navy, geographic isolation due to the Atlantic and Pacific and fairly stable neighbors to the north and south, etc.

No.  Philippines is probably in the top half.  Even with its corruption, insurgency and political infighting.  It is still functioning and has a centralized structure.\n\nSomalia is run by warlords, basically neighborhood gangs with big guns.  Haiti is in limbo with its corrupt government that is trying to elect a new leader.  Its last President was forced from office.  Too much power corrupts even a former priest.

Two strong super powers with equally strong economic power.  Competition is good for the world's markets....economically speaking.  I think the U.S. has done a very good job maintaining it's military and economic power.  Imagine what other countries would do with this power.  They would not be so giving, so sparing, nor friendly.

It depends on the individual's level of education. I'd say the average Filipino has a good grasp of the English language. By the way, I am a Filipino who has never traveled anywhere, you be the judge if I can speak it well.
