Philippines well placed to grow strongly after the election

With six months to go before presidential elections in the Philippines, and the incumbent, Benigno Aquino, barred from running again, attention has started to turn to who will replace him. Although the Philippines has a poor record when it comes to electing the right sort of president, it would take a major spell of very bad governance to reverse the progress made under Aquino. We remain optimistic that the Philippines will continue to grow strongly over the coming years.
