In the year 20XX, The Pearl of the Oriented Seas, is now a First World Country, primarily due to the Cyber Sector, due to this, the economy EXPLODED! Reaching a 2153% growth rate in the past five decades.

This is due to the Scholars that took Engineering and Cyber/Digital space, made a breakthrough, and now, the Philippines is the leading producer of Electronics, and Digital Products.

The first few years weren't smooth, due to problems such as territorial disputes, corruption, and many more, however, the coming administrations managed to reduce these problems more and more as the economy grew, and punishments being harsher, while controversial helped the nation.

In the first few years, the Government expected a growth rate of 500%, but due to a domino of extreme luck, breakthroughs, uncovering new materials that can be used for quantum technology.

However, due to the fast growth rate, and passing of the law where materials that somehow can only be found in the Philippines cannot be exported as raw materials, factories need to be created in the nation itself to boaster its economy even further in the long term.

Days of short-term gains are over, and long-term gains exploded.

The Philippines' first target after the explosion of the economy, is two programs, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) modernization program, more primarily towards the navy, and the elimination of poverty in the country.

Due to this the economy somehow exploded, and the Philippines had an extreme gap in the monopoly, many nations such as China, which the Philippines has grudges against due to the disputed waters of the West Philippine Sea, escalated geopolitical tensions.

The Philippines, passed a law that states that any country that has bad relations with the Archipelago Nation will have restrictive trading, while nations which is a close allies of the Philippines will have less.

This is due to two factors, national security (not letting nations that are in bad relations to have a portion of their monopoly no matter how much help they can provide), and a set for the global stage.

This is all a master plan for the long term that will increase the economy further, in the next century.

In the current time of 20XX, August 1, the Philippines ranked two in Military strength, and Almost close to the United States GDP (20XX US GDP is 52.3T while PH's GDP is 44.5T).

The reason for such large economies now in both nations is their friendship, having the bonds for such a long time, and this is also the reason why the Philippines ranked 2nd in terms of military strength, having 8 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, (almost half of the US navy's 23).

It's all because of the technology exchange between the two nations, that aims to increase ties further.

This doesn't mean that nations whose enemies with the Philippines, like China didn't improve, their current GDP is 33.6T, and Ranked 4th in terms of military ranking. (rank 3rd is Indonesia.)

Their economy slowed down, due to corruption in the early 21st century, and declining birth rates due to the one-child policy.

The Philippines still is the leading exporter of Nurses but with better training due to technological advancements.

As of right now, handheld laser weapons aren't still a thing, but laser cannons have long replaced the old conventional ship cannons, on vessels.

Nuclear Fusion Reactors are now on the horizon to be domestically produced, due to the rare minerals that got found in the Philippines that can make nuclear fusion more stable and easier to maintain.
