Why This Bounces Around So Much

This chart doesn't support a simple narrative. It moves up, it moves down — pick any two years and you can tell almost any story you want. Look at the whole series, not a slice of it.

Timing matters here: 2020 is when most of the world went through some version of pandemic disruption. This chart's dip landing in that same year is worth keeping in mind, even without certainty about the specific cause.

This chart answers 'what happened' for Philippines, not 'is that good or bad' — that second question needs a comparison point, either other countries or a longer run of history than what's shown here.

As with almost all cross-national statistical series, this one blends real survey years with modeled estimates for the gaps — the year-to-year precision is lower than the chart's smooth line suggests.
