Philipines ranked at number 50 from the latest US News and World Report 2019 Best Countries in the World

Presidential Spokesperson on the US News and World Report PH ranking.

We welcome the latest US News and World Report 2019 Best Countries Ranking which puts the Philippines at Number 50, drawn from a survey of more than 21,000 global citizens. The metrics measured include adventure, citizenship, cultural influence, entrepreneurship, heritage, movers, open for business, power and quality of life.

We scored highly in adventure (ranked 22), open for business (ranked 26), and quality of life (ranked 37) underscoring that the Philippines is an emerging market for business, investments and tourism.

The Duterte Administration continuously breaks ground to nurture the country’s business climate and drive investor confidence to a higher level by cleansing the government of corrupt officials, streamlining the delivery of frontline services, among others. Tourism, which is one of our major economic drivers, is likewise a priority with focus now given on environmental sustainability.

We are therefore confident that we would continue to improve our ranking as we remain committed to institute reforms for the betterment of the Philippines that we all love.
