I think there is a little desperation on the part of the Philippines. I read earlier this week that the Malampaya field, which is a huge Natural Gas deposit off the coast of Palawan, is “running out”. It apparently fuels a lot of the energy requirements of MERALCO, so the country is at risk of rationing power (daily blackouts, something I grew up with <-- not fun) as early as 2018. And given how much we all depend on the Internet today (the Philippines has been the #1 Call Center provider for several years now) - daily brownouts are going to hit the economy like a supertyphoon.
I cannot think of any services that the Philippines will export to China. I mentioned Robinson Land is there - they are like any foreign investor building high rise developments and trying to get their piece of the China gold rush (following the example of Taiwanese businessmen). Another big Philippine business in China is Oishi. When I asked my friends in Shanghai if they knew it was a Filipino brand, they don’t believe me - I actually met one of the owners at a fancy dinner thrown by the Philippine consulate tourism bureau (shout out to Gerry Panga for the invitation, who use to be tourism attache here in Taipei before being moved to Shanghai almost 8 years ago) and he told me he gets the same reaction when he tells Chinese people, too.
I do not expect China to help in the essential services that you describe. I expect China to help in encouraging infrastructure building, like that 17 year building program currently underway in Manila (what has been dubbed Carmaggeddon) - the cement, the equipment, the supplies, will be funded or sourced from China. I remember there was a stretch of time when many of the city buses (and granted, I don’t normally ride the bus when I’m there) were hand-me-downs from China – most of the city buses are privately operated btw.
Tourism is a big deal. Look at what it was like here in Taiwan when they had it really going. Sure, we hate the crowds, but that was A LOT of money. Now, the Chinese tourist is going to be encouraged to go to the Philippines? That’s a lot.
You mentioned Philippine fascism. I learned about Philippine facism right here on Forumosa from @finley – and I do not believe Duterte is a fascist. He is a socialist at heart and an autocrat in practice. He just happens to head a society that has been structured for fascism. Those fascist policies are not his. I am not aware he plans to do anything to change this btw. He only talks about his drug war. I have been told that if you removed all the cops from the street, you would solve the drug more quickly as well as most of the crime - and downsizing the Philippine Constabulary would be a huge step towards dismantling the fascist infrastructure of the government. I don’t think it’s going to happen because no one talks about it.
