Generally speaking, the Philippines is a developing country and is in the initial stage of development. Manila has the largest slums in Asia, and the gap between rich and poor is very obvious. The environment in the capital Manila is also very bad. The air quality is very poor and the noise pollution is crazy. There is a developed call center service industry here because most Filipinos can speak English and the wages are relatively low. What is gratifying is that most Filipino people are very friendly, probably because they are used to getting along with the Chinese, and they can treat the Chinese equally.
