How does the economy of the Philippines contribute to the vulnerability of the population?

The economy of the Philippines is characterized by high levels of poverty, unequal income distribution, and dependence on remittances from overseas workers, which can create instability for many families. Economic vulnerabilities are exacerbated by frequent natural disasters, such as typhoons and earthquakes, which can disrupt livelihoods and infrastructure. Additionally, limited access to quality education and healthcare further hinders social mobility and resilience, leaving a significant portion of the population susceptible to economic shocks. These factors collectively contribute to a cycle of vulnerability that affects millions of Filipinos.
