In a Vantage Point newsletter, it is explained that the Philippines is not being written off by investors; instead, it is undergoing a re-rating. According to the article, the key to a positive re-rating lies not in headline growth numbers, but in the speed at which reforms transition from policy papers to measurable outcomes.
