The Philippines began the 21st century in a state of
drift, suffering from internal corruption, widespread poverty,
and ethnic insurgency. Despite this, the nation had a
fairly strong democratic tradition and a sound economic
base. Local development proceeded slowly but steadily.
By about 2050 the Philippines were a stable and moderately
prosperous country.

Unfortunately, the era of stability was short. During
the tumultuous 2060s, nanosocialism became quite popular
in parts of the country. The central government managed
to prevent a nanosocialist takeover, with the aid of the
influential Catholic Church. In 2065 the Philippines joined
the Pacific Rim Alliance in an attempt to fend off further
nanosocialist advances. The strategy was moderately successful
at first, but in the wake of the Pacific War the
Philippines saw a revival of guerrilla warfare in the southern
islands. The Muslim populations of Mindanao and
other islands are strongly nanosocialist, and since 2088
they have been fighting a vicious war for independence
with covert Indonesian support.

Parts of the Philippines enjoy a thriving [[Fourth Wave]]
economy, especially around the capital of Manila. The
country has always faced extreme difficulty in distributing
wealth, however, and many outlying regions remain
poor. Also, the strong Catholic influence has prevented
Philippine biotechnology from advancing in certain
directions. With very few exceptions, human cloning,
human gengineering, and the construction of humanform
bioroids are all illegal in the Philippines. This has
not prevented local gengineers from working extensively
with nonhuman DNA.
