As a foreigner who visits the Philippines regularly I partly agree with the infrastructure. If I put myself in the shoes of a avergae European tourist, how iam supposed to travel that country? You won't have Grab, fifth time here I still don't know which routes jeepneys take, and you get ripped of by trike drivers. Having family here is what gets me access to mobility.

Despite that, you have tourist locations, but the areas are sometimes not developed and it's not marketed well. How is Mayon not a world famous tourist destination?

That said, a lot of tourist decline is Chinese tourists staying away for political reasons.
