The Philippines is ranked 44 in the world in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) with Czech Republic being 43 and Israel being 45. It is not a backwards country like some might suggest as it is considered a newly industrialized country. The economy has been transitioning from less agriculture to more manufacturing and services. They recently found natural gas which has added to its energy reserves and has growing tourists sites like Cebu. Also, the GDP grow rate in the Philippines is expected to be around 10% in the future. While the Philippines is certainly not the US in terms of economic power, it certainly is growing very fast and defiantly has a future. For instance, if the growth rate is 10%, then the economy will double in seven years.

Actually, the Philippines has the 46th largest GDP of any country with the Czech Republic being 45th and Pakistan being 47th. It's current GDP growth rate is about 6%, not 10%. It also has a considerably high unemployment rate (7%) and a large portion of its people living under the poverty line (about 1/3). The Philippines is a newly industrialized country. This means their economy has net yet reached First World status, however, it has outpaced their developing counterparts. The main reason for any newly industrialized country's economic growth is exporting. This is the main reason for other newly industrialized countries such as China, India, and Mexico's massive economic growth as well. Read more about the Philippines' economy in the link below.

Is the clan of montenegro is one of the richest person in Philippines?

The clan of Montenegro is notable in the Philippines for its involvement in various businesses, particularly in shipping and other industries. While they are among the prominent families in the country, the title of "richest" is often subjective and can vary over time. Other families, such as the Sy, Ayala, and Enriquez clans, are frequently cited as some of the wealthiest in the Philippines. Therefore, while the Montenegros are affluent, they may not be the richest.
