The ADB also warned that despite its resilience in the face of unfavorable foreign developments, the Philippines needed to address a number of problems.


Thomas Crouch, country director for the Philippines, said the ADB had a  total of $3.2 billion in loans to the country, or about six percent of  the Philippines’ total external debt.
