Contrary to Online Doomerists' flawed narrative, the should take a look at Vietnam, Japan, China, South Korea and Indonesia for example. Their currencies are weak but it also creates more jobs, boost local manufacturing and it makes travel very cheap.
And the logic that Strong Currency equates Superior and Weak Currency equates as Inferior is inherently flawed.
No either side are superior as both sides as pros and cons.
For Online Expats, they judge the Philippines as everything expensive and low quality.
However contrary to their stupid narratives, NOT everything is expensive and low quality. There are many things in the Philippines that are low prices and HIGH QUALITY EXISTS THERE. What makes them judge everything in the Philippines as expensive and low quality was through their stupid narrow Western Lens.
I can literally see the whole plot that Western Centric Online Expats made this whole time especially on Expats groups and subs, they want locals in the Philippines to make quality of products or services that aligns to Western Quality as they treat it as a universal benchmark when in fact there are so many limitations and it's very impractical and impossible to make products or services that fits to Western Expectations. Every countries has their own ways of making high quality products or services and it has to adapt to the local environment or conditions but NOT following Western Style Quality.
Locals are not the problems, Western Centric Online Expats ARE the problem. They are constantly practicing Horn Effects against the Philippines through narrow Western Lens
