BUSINESSJul 18Can Philippines turn reforms into gains in Southeast Asia’s FDI race?Not so long ago, the Philippines was bedevilled by warning signs to investors, from its corruption to its groaning infrastructure and a fuel crisis born of a war fought thousands of miles away. Those problems have not simply disappeared, but a flurry of business-friendly reforms – paired with ambitious plans to upgrade the nation’s railways, ports and power grid – now puts it in a stronger position to capture some of the billions of dollars seeking a home outside the region’s recent supply chain...South China Morning Post
CONFLICTJul 17Philippines’ plan to fortify coastal defences: deterrence or target?A Philippine coastal defence project in Palawan province could complicate Chinese operations near the Spratly Islands, but is unlikely to close Manila’s military gap with Beijing and could turn one of the country’s most important naval hubs into a more prominent target in a crisis, analysts have said. On Monday, the Puerto Princesa City Council approved a Department of National Defence proposal allowing the Armed Forces of the Philippines to establish Coastal Defence Regiment assets and...South China Morning Post

BUSINESSJul 16Philippines’ iconic jeepneys face rocky road to go electricFor generations, jeepneys – brightly painted minibuses that are among the Philippines’ cheapest and most used forms of public transport – have run on diesel, but recent fuel shocks are forcing thousands of small operators and drivers to weigh volatile prices against the debt needed to go electric. Diesel prices spiked anew by nearly 5 pesos this week, as renewed tensions in the Gulf threatened to strain the country’s public transport sector, giving new urgency to the uneven shift towards...South China Morning Post

On Wednesday, at one educational campus in Manila, hundreds of students and teachers practised barricading classrooms with desks and chairs and staying silent as an armed actor wearing a black hoodie scoured the halls and rooms. “We acknowledge the increasing number of violent...South China Morning Post

MILITARYJul 13How Philippines is reshaping South China Sea defence, 10 years after Hague rulingA decade after a tribunal in The Hague ruled on July 12, 2016, that Beijing’s sweeping South China Sea claims had no legal basis, Philippine officials and analysts say Manila remains heavily outmatched at sea but has begun turning its landmark legal victory into a more credible form of deterrence. The Philippines brought the case in 2013 under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos), challenging Beijing’s nine-dash line and other claims. The tribunal ruled that China’s...South China Morning Post

BUSINESSJul 10Why the Philippines is losing out in Southeast Asia’s investment boomThe Philippines still lags behind its neighbours in attracting foreign direct investments (FDI) after its inflows remained stagnant in 2025, even as a financing influx swept the region. This has cast the spotlight on a corruption scandal that has roiled the country and dented investor confidence to some extent, on top of long-standing systemic issues, analysts say. Manila ranked sixth in Southeast Asia after capturing just US$9 billion of the US$244 billion capital boom last year, according to...South China Morning Post
MILITARYJul 10Philippines looks to space for bird’s-eye view of South China Sea threatsThe Philippines is preparing to create a military space centre by 2028, a move that could help Manila strengthen surveillance, communications and command across its archipelago and in contested areas of the South China Sea. But analysts said the ambition would be constrained by the technical, financial and manpower hurdles of turning space assets into military capability. Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief General Romeo Brawner Jnr said on Tuesday the initiative – which would enhance...South China Morning Post
BUSINESSJul 9Philippines got an economic upgrade, yet many Filipinos feel it’s no ‘big deal’The World Bank recently upgraded the Philippines to an upper-middle-income country, but that classification makes little difference to many Filipinos grappling with rising cost of living, debt and stagnant wages. Manila resident Ann Michelle Federez-Abato, 35, said her entire salary goes towards her parents’ mortgage, while she and her two-year-old daughter subsist on a monthly remittance of 20,000 pesos (US$324) from her husband, who works abroad as a production officer at a factory.

POLITICSJul 6Philippines’ impeachment showdown: why removing VP Sara could be uphill battlePhilippine Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio did not attend the opening of her impeachment trial on Monday, leaving her lawyers to fight charges that, if upheld, could remove her from office, permanently bar her from politics and reshape the 2028 presidential race. Legal experts told This Week in Asia they expected Duterte-Carpio to be difficult, though not impossible, to convict despite the gravity of the charges because prosecutors would need at least 16 senators – two-thirds of the chamber –...South China Morning Post
