    Well, these things happen when your entire economy relies on a single export.

    I don't think they technically count as "exports". Electronics are the primary export of the Philippines (more than one would think). I think massive corruption will be to blame in the future of the Philippines. I'd bet that's a major problem in Venezuela as well.
