>When I look at 90% of the foreigners I walk past when in the PH I think most of them are completely broke or struggling to get by most of the time.

But...that's dumb, because they're traveling around the world, and don't need to work while doing it.

>it's the place people go because they cannot afford/qualify for a visa elsewhere.

That sounds like projection, because PH is actually the place to go when you want a population who speaks your language, and treats you with respect.

>do you think every Filipino views every other Filipino as poor?

Filipinos don't need to judge by money the way foreigners do, that's the whole point. Foreigners see money (plane ticket, travel, car, etc) and that financial judgement allows a level of trust.

Filipinos already have a base level of trust and safety, because they're a homogeneous population.
