Because the Philippine government
has been neglecting the Philippine military for 2 decades
in years 2000-2010
marked the transition of Philippine military from a decent but outdated force
into a far weaker one
In 2012 $1.8 billion worth of money was approved for the initial
modernization of the Philippine military
It was 10x higher than that of the annual expenditure for
modernization of the military in the past 10 years.
In 2013 Feb The Philippine Department of National Defense
Approved the acquisition for 12 Trainer/ Light fighter jets to be acquired
from South Korea.
The reason why Philippines is a weak state aside from massive corruption
is that the past regimes have significantly neglected the
Armed Forces.
The Philippines is a sovereign nation. One meaning of the word "state" is "sovereign nation." In that sense, the Philippines is a state.
