Is Philippines Really Poor?

If Philippines is poor, why do we have:
  • Six Big Malls in Our Small Town
  • Buildings Being Built Everywhere
  • Even a two-year old kid knows how to speak English (taught by a local teacher; now Spanish is reintroduced)
  • Brand new and high-end cars everywhere
  • Coffee shops swarming like bees
  • Malls-wide unlimited and free wi-fi connectivity
  • Plan of introducing Clark-wide wi-fi internet connection (in our city alone)
  • Too many Koreans and Indians studying English and Medicine respectively here in our city
  • Schools every street corner
  • Banks built every month, on every corner of each street in our city (well, true)
  • People spending like there's no tomorrow?
