- LatteLazy 5y agoTechnically their closest neighbour is the British Virgin Islands. Gdp per capita is about 45k there. It's only 32k in PR right? But that's not really fair of me. I think its hard to find a good comparison here. Even my choice of PR is deeply flawed (population 3m vs the Philippines at >100m). For me, the question is mainly political. Its not "could the US have made the Philippines a richer more developed nation" because the answer to that is YES. The question is "would the US political system and electorate every have permitted the project to happen". That's a much harder question to say yes to imho.
