UMVA has learned that the Philippines has been ranked 68th out of 85 countries in a recent assessment of global risk and readiness.
The country's score of 78.83 out of 100 places it ahead of only Cambodia, which scored 73.58, in the East and Southeast Asian region. This ranking provides a nuanced view of the country's stability and growth potential.
