Actually have a look next time you're in a hardware store - lots of small tools and abrasives, welding stuff etc is from Indonesia. Malaysia makes much of the chips for consumer electronics in huge facilities near KL.
I agree the Philippines have their feelings hurt - in the Bonafacio military camp near Manila there is a big graffiti - " Philippines army the best in the world".
Regardless of their training and equipment, they are mostly brave soldiers. At least they take some risk when they go into action - not like the US who fight at long range with incredible superiority and kill their own casualties through battle panic.
