what if I played the soft uwu character????

THEN WHAT???

The World Bank (WB) recently released a Report with some Data about the Economic Indicators of various Countries for last Year of 2024, and one of these Data showed that in Terms of the Gross National Income (GNI) per Capita (GNI/Capita), Vietnam has already surpassed the Philippines.

GNI/Capita is the GNI of a Country divided by its Population Size, and is an Indicator of the Standard of Living in a Country. The higher the GNI/Capita, the better. In 2024, the Philippines' GNI/Capita was at Usd 4,470 while Vietnam was at Usd 4,490.

The WB Report also showed that among the five Founding Countries of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), only the Philippines was left classified as a "Lower Middle Income Country (LMIC)". Three of the other Countries, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand has been classified as an "Upper Middle Income Country (UMIC)".

The remaining Country Singapore has long been classified as a "High Income Country (HIC)". Note that in his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) back in 2022, Bong Bong Marcos (BBM) said that he is targeting the Philippines to reach UMIC Status by 2024, but has failed to do so up to now.

MY THOUGHTS: Imagine that, BBM continues to miss his own Target, the Target that he himself set back in 2022 of the Philippines reaching UMIC Status by 2024. We may finally hit that Target this Year of 2025, but that means a Delay of about a Year.

Note also that ASEAN was founded in 1967, 58 Years ago and yet the Philippines have still to reach UMIC Status while the other four Founding Members of the Organization have long since moved on to higher status.

And finally, I have nothing else to say except that again, the only Catholic Country in ASEAN with a large Population continues to be a Laggard Country in ASEAN. And not only in ASEAN, but in the entire Asian Region as well.
