For me The Philippines is much better for the ranking of the economy is drastically moving faster compared to Thailand... Thailand might be able to overtake the Philippine Economy but most people believe that the Philippines can be able to keep up with Thailand but of course It might not be able to overtake Thailand anymore....
There are a lot of poets in this country that live around 1700 to 1900 that are fluent in English, Japanese, French and even the WORLD'S HARDEST LANGUAGE; Mandarin..... and lots of High Schools here offer more language subjects to attend to, such as Japanese, French, and Spanish...
For me, in terms of economy and infrastructure, Thailand is much better. But in terms of being more outgoing.... The Philippines is drastically proven to be more friendly, outgoing, and adventurous...
Please don't think bad about Filipinos for more Overseas Filipino Workers working outside of the country are punished in a very inhumane way that makes the Nation cry.... Such as how maids are treated in other countries such as Saudi... Take this incident as an example; a maid was preparing coffee for her Arab masters but due to her fatigue her fright of those people, she was not able to prepare the coffee fast enough thus, making her masters pour the boiling water on her back and causing her severe skin problems... or even sticking a piping hor flat iron on other maid's skins.... why these people even work for this country you ask? because they have a poor family and this country's economy isn't at it's best...
