      ​@@kazegarasu4704 Watch the video again. National debt should be used to build a better nation. Corporate debt is typically used only in the interest of a corporation. And personal debt is used to buy Mang Inasal when your salary runs out before the end of the month. We must dig deeper than just the amount, and look at individual loan transactions and how it is being used.
      Central banks control interest rates and to an extent influence inflation. This is power no corporation or individual has. This adds dimension to simply lending a friend P20 because they can adjust how much P20 is worth.
      Since the Philippines is a member of the world bank, the Philippines most likely lends money to other countries as well. As we grow and become more technologically more advanced, we may become a major lender in the future. We are indebted to them, they are indebted to us. It's a circle of life.
      ...
      Here's a cool thing any citizen can take advantage of. You can lend the government money through treasury bills and the government pays you back with interest. Imagine that. The government PAYS YOU, kind of like a reverse tax. That's money that goes back to the economy. If you are not (legally) reducing your taxes and making the government pay you, you are missing out!

    short summary with a bit of interpretation for those Title based reactions who did not watch the full video.
    total debt = 14T php = 10T php domestic + 4T foreign.
    Domestic Debt - This is more dependent on Monetary policy than Fiscal policy. Central bank is the biggest factor here and the PH has always been blessed with the best Central bankers in the world.
    Foreign Debt - Inflation is scary, hyper inflation is terrifying. Fortunately, the PH is in the top 1 or 2 in ASEAN when it comes to the total reserve in months of imports(8-9months). That means what's currently happening to Sri Lanka/Pakistan/Venezuela is highly unlikely to happen in the PH since our Balance of Payments(along with our reserve) has been positive. When talking about current inflation don't forget to talk about current US fiscal/monetary policies as well.
    It doesn't matter how much you hate the current elected officials, It takes an absolute idiot to mess up this economy. Look at the numbers then look deeper. The reality is our growth is steady and organic. The sad part is, we cant feel it because we keep focusing on the wrong data.

    What people misunderstood here in this video context is that local debt although debt, acts like a saving fund to debtors. It's a debt in name but functions more like an investment. So the debt which is 4 trillion is the one we have to worry about. You necessarily don't have to print the cash unless the entire economy comes crashing down

    the philippines should offer more lower denominated treasury bills to its citizens as high yield tax-free bonds so that the population can enjoy a high return on its deposits while insulating itself from external financial shocks. also, the philippine government should mandate the central bank to increase its balance sheet equity with 50% of any profits that it enjoys annually. this method alone will expand its balance sheet from the infusion of retained earnings such that its asset base will be increased as a defense to any external shocks. furthermore, the philippines should join brics nations to insulate itself from the economic hegemony of the us banking system and make itself more independent from the influence of the federal reserve and us economic planning.

      The point is that the Philippines would not be able to pay its debt of 15 trillion + interest in 25 years. Principal plus interest payments is practically a deduction from total national budget. This is compounded by the fact the Philippines will still be borrowing trillions and giving out ayuda in 2025.

    Php 15 trillion pesos is only 17 billion dollars @ 55 to 1 exchange rate... that sounds reasonable. The OFW cash remittances to the country alone in 2023 was $33 billion dollars and GDP was $404 billion - third behind Thailand and Vietnam.
    The Philippines Government debt accounted for 60.2 % of the country's Nominal GDP in Mar 2024, compared with the ratio of 60.1 % in the previous quarter. Philippines government debt to GDP ratio data is updated quarterly, available from Mar 1993 to Mar 2024.
    The Philippines BPO industry contributes nearly $30 billion to the economy each year. It is estimated that 1.3 million Filipinos were employed in over 1000 BPO companies in 2019, and that figure is showing 8-10% growth every year. It is estimated that the country holds 10-15% of the global BPO market.
    Sounds like the country needs to invest more, or give each worker and retirees $ 1,000 dollars (Php 55,000) a month UBI for as long long as it's affordable.
    Or, Php 15 trillion peso debt should be $15 trillion dollars - then we are in deep trouble, the US has a $33.17 Trillion national debt, Japan $9.2 Trillion and China $2.38 Trillion. If true, we should sell the Phillipines and just rent it from whoever buys it.
    Or, my 10th grade math is really wayyyyyyyy off.

      If you're implying that Aquino was better because of the lower exchange rate for the PHP, then hate to break it to you but that's not because of Aquino but because barely anything happened during his time, the US economy was in a downturn especially during the late years of Bush and the time of Obama, we didn't have any oil crisis & OPEC+ weren't controlled by idioootzz back then, no Pandemic happened and no major war like the current Russo-Ukrainian War happened where the "War on Terror" ironically stabilized the world's economy.
      If you'd care to listen to the video or did any actual research, you'd know the reason why the PHP devalued isn't because our economy isn't doing well (in fact, it's actually doing quite good overall and is stabilized) but because the US economy is in a weird place where the vast printing of the USD has caused massive inflation worldwide.
      It didn't help that the pandemic & the current Russo-Ukrainian War happened which basically fckkkdd everything up and caused the current fuel crisis especially with the West banning Russian oil.
      There is nothing really wrong with the PHP exchange rate.
      Just compare it with the other currencies and you'd realize that it isn't as bad as you might think.

    Our foreign reserves alone is bigger than our foreign debt at around US $100 Billion. Actually, the US even owes the Philippines around $49-50 Billion. It is not as concerning if most of the foreign debt has long term maturity which means it needs to be paid over time. I'm pretty sure that is the case because our economic managers have learned from the past mistakes of the elder Marcos who bankrupted our country due to heavy reliance on shorter term foreign loans. This was the main reason why admins after him focused on repaying our debts instead of building infrastructure. As long as the economy keeps growing and we keep attracting investments that create jobs and more importantly revenues that will help pay for the debt the ratio would eventually be outgrown. The government's target is to lower the ratio to 56% and even lower gradually which is the preferred way to avert a potential debt crisis scenario.

    This channel is bias. you thumbnail PH Natl debt to 14 Trillion not emphasizing its in peso currency, when peso to dollar is 58 pesos. So technically, PH Natl debt is around 250 Billion dollars, not Trillion dollars, and I think most of it is Domestic debt, not Foreign debt. So for a Nation with 120 million people, strong Foreign reserves & Gold stocks, that’s still manageable.

    You speak in terms of pesos instead of dollars to prevent easy comparison with USA debt. Let's clarify.
    USA population = 333 million
    P.I. population = 115 million
    USA debt = $34 trillion
    P.I. debt = $272 billion
    USA GDP = $28 trillion
    P.I. GDP = $404 billion
    USA Debt/GDP ratio = 123%
    P.I. Debt/GDP ratio = 56.61%
    USA Debt per capita = $102,102
    P.I. Debt per capita = $2371
    Annual Remittances for about 2.33 million Filipino Overseas Foreign Workers (OFW) = about $36 billion = about $16,000 per OFW.
    If every Filipino OFW went on strike and won the strike for doubling of wages that are mostly near slave wages, and contributed those increased wages to paying off the debt, P.I. debt could be paid off in about ten years.
    The countries that normally hire Filipino OFWs, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Singapore, Qatar, Kuwait, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Oman, and Bahrain are rich countries with spoiled rotten people. They would pay.
    The Philippines is very strong financially unlike the USA. Paying off Philippines debt is very possible.

      Actually, it works that way in the States. Much of gov spending goes to corporations that kick back to politicians or the permanent government. It's called the 'revolving door'. When a gov employee (or politician or general) is actually working for a corporation's benefit he is rewarded by getting a do-nothing job with that corporation (or a think-tank, or charity, or speaking fees). Sometimes a spouse or child gets that cushy job (Hunter Biden). Corruption is very systematic in the US government. The corporations write the tax, trade, and regulatory laws to benefit them. I think the US is far more corrupt, but it is just done in a slower and more sophisticated way. I like Philippine gov bonds and hold a lot of them. I do not hold US debt of any kind.
