菲律賓共和國

位於東南亞的群島國家,是東南亞第二個人口破億的國家。是前美國殖民地,但在前任總統杜特蒂任內漸漸往中國靠攏。2022年,前獨裁者之子小馬可仕當選菲律賓總統,國際普遍表示擔憂,甚至有人認為美國會因此和菲律賓漸行漸遠。小馬可仕上任後表示自己會找到一個獨立的外交政策,讓菲律賓與每個國家都成為朋友。在南海議題上,小馬可仕認為應該要用堅定的態度跟中國談判,但又不能走到開戰那一步。小馬可仕承接的菲律賓除了要趕緊從疫情中復甦經濟,更要想辦法解決不斷上升的通膨,以及前朝留下來的龐大債務。菲律賓能否在後疫情時代迅速崛起,就看小馬可仕的造化了。

An archipelago state in Southeast Asia, the Philippines consists of more than 7,600 islands in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, and is the second country in Southeast Asia with a population of over 100 million. Over the years, natural disasters like typhoons and earthquakes plague the country, but it also enjoys rich biodiversity. It was successively colonized by Spain and the United States and occupied by Japan for a short period during WWII before its independence after the war.
Its GDP per capita in 2020 is about US$3,300, but the country is in the top 20% of the global economy due to its large population. It is the world's largest labor exporting nation, with nearly 160,000 Philippine migrant workers in Taiwan, accounting for 22% of the total migrant worker population. The current President Duterte's diplomatic strategies are unpredictable, and the country goes head-to-head with China over the South China Sea disputes.
