Starting with a not so updated A.) job growth, to current B.) foreign direct investments, and C.) finally comparing the PCOMP to 2 other major indices.
A. Job Growth 1991-2011
Job growth appears not so much impressive with comparison to the late 1990's decade. Years 2001-2011, Philippines' job growth may just be a little above the line compared from the rest of the "Developing Asia."

B. Foreign Direct Investments 2004-2013
Deciding to have the FDI compared to other "leading" (not updated chart above) job growth countries in the east. With Philippines represented in red and just a little over Pakistan, one can assume there is a quite a potential for more growth in this aspect (versus Vietnam's FDI decline which puts the Philippines in a neutral-midway position). The fledgling author also only decided to add these fellow "third world countries" into the mix secondary to incompatibility due to the fact that FDI among indices like Hang Seng, STI, and the like are well over the Philippines' current FDI measures.

C. Indices on the Rise Comparison 2010-2014
PCOMP: orange
DJIA: yellow
HSI: green
Not surprisingly, the fledgling author may somewhat verify here that indeed, PCOMP have risen well above the couple of the most competitive indices in the world (i.e. DJIA, HSI) ever since the crash of 2008-2009.
Though the fledgling author may now claim that he will try not to guess what will happen next with the index. After reading a couple of more value investing books from more than a dozen that had been purchased. It has been clearly proven that it would be untimely and ultimately hard to predict what the future (more over macro-economically) of these Indices may direct itself into.
As for now, the fledgeling investor decides to just further delve into more research about the concept of value investing and probably still stay in the sidelines and clear out probable losers and not so good candidates that may qualify as a good investment.
