There's no reason as to why they're not at the same level as Japan or Taiwan at this point. What's stopping them from progressing beyond 3rd world status?

They perform more or less on the same level when you actually account for educated Filipinos. Average IQ has to take into account the rural areas where education is not a priority because the children have to help their parents make a living.

We didn't give the Philippines the same amount of Free Gibs as we did to Israel, Taiwan, and South Korea which became rich off the hundreds of billion of free aid and investments we plopped on them.


>During the Cold War between the Capitalist United States and Communist Soviet Union, in Asia, despite being devastated by World War 2, defending US interests, and being a former colony, the Philippines, received negligible financial assistance from the United States with only $5 Billion US Dollars worth of aid in totality since Independence[18] compared to the copious amount of free development aid given to other Asian allies like: Israel ($317.9 Billion US Dollars in free aid),[19] South Korea ($119.9 Billion US dollars in free aid)[20][21] South Vietnam ($104 Billion Dollars in free aid),[19] Taiwan, ($41.81015 Billion US Dollars in free aid by year 1975[22] which convert to $242 Billion US Dollars in 2024 values as adjusted for inflation)[23] and Japan,[24][25] as the United States considered their economic development more important than that of the Philippines because they had hostile Pro-Soviet Union neighbors which the United States were opposed to.[26]

Still, even though we didn't give them the same amount of money we freely give Israel they mananged to be the one of the fastest growing economies in Asia now.

At their current growth rates they will be rich 2 decades if they continue their stellar economic performance.

Shut up. Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea; the examples OP used, got rich precisely because we poured Hundreds of Billions of Free Aid and Investments on them which we sadly didn't do for the Philippines. Mainly because they were nearer Communist Powers, Russia and China, so we subsidized their development to contain Communism, and since the Philippines was farther away, they didn't receive our free money. But even still, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, got rich mainly because of us.
