@kinggodzilla100 be patient. this is 2005 statistic and this website research didn't include Malaysia. Actually in 2011, KL is currently ranked 58th in the world and 2nd place in Southeast Asia. : )

Some filipinos says that they want their country to become economic and rich,but when Philippines became Newly INdustrialized country,currently the 30th largest economy and about to reach ASian tiger economy..they still didnt belive..We Filipinos must believe in news!!!! Some filipinos here did not believe..saying that the country is still not industrialized!!

@thewatchmenz i like your use of words :)

I so pround if asian country are going to rich, no hunger from food shortage, with minimum wage can buy some house, full education support, free basic medical scheme, all older man had welfare, goverment support/subsidy all agriculture fields, and low jobless people, all these are basic for human being more than the modern tall buildings. Where was this country??

@Tippersnore You're correct. I think the government is so corrupt! Why are there so many Filipinos who are trying to leave the Philippines and get into other countries...legally AND illegally!

[n0lram1]

@tinyfeet32 yea that is totally right, GDP-wise. If u r studying economics you probably would not ask. MM is 2nd wealthiest Metro area in SEA. And one more thing, Philippine economy is developing and is doing well, more vibrant than ever before...

[tinyfeet32]

Is this right? There's something wrong with the statistics i believe! I'm from the Philippines and I know for sure that my country is not doing good in her economy.photos of high rise buildings won't tell you the real score of what a particular country is going through.This video is kind of misleading taking your source at fault.

[Tippersnore]

Manila is rich according to your use of statistics, but have you ever walked around the back streets at night alone?

[thewatchmenz]

but I am also hoping that my beloved country the Philippines will someday recover from the BULLSHIT curse that befell onto us :(
