Is the Philippines a developed country?

The Philippines is not a developed country. The Philippines was a developed country in 1960s, but later it became a developing country due to political turmoil and social instability, which hindered its economic development.

The overall public security situation in the Philippines is poor, which mainly presents the following outstanding problems: frequent criminal cases of public security, the proliferation of guns, frequent kidnapping and terrorist attacks, serious illegal detention involving gambling, and frequent cases of "ecstasy party stealing property" in Manila Bay.

The Republic of the Philippines is located in the southeast of Asia. Bashi channel is far away from Taiwan Province Province in China in the north, facing Indonesia and Malaysia across the Sulawesi Sea and Barabak Strait in the south and southwest, facing the South China Sea in the west and the Pacific Ocean in the east.
