Whats the good news about the Philip-pines?
The typical Pinoy would probably rave about the recent strengthening of the peso vis-à-vis the US dollar, the announcement of Chinese-Filipino billionaire John Gokongwei donating half of his fortune to charity, or the more optimistic news that power rates are expected to go down this month in Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) franchise areas.
These are stuff to feel good about, but may not necessarily be the first thing to come to mind when asked whats the good news about the Philippines.
