2018年的菲律宾形势呈现出诸多变化，政治争斗激烈以至于一度流出军变传闻，经济发展减速且滋生出一些新问题，外交上仍在一定程度上受孤立但呈现出一些新变化，安全形势仍然严峻。
It is another unstable year in 2018 for the Philippines. In politics，it was so fierce in the struggles between different political forces that rumors spread about military coup being plotted. In economy，the Philippines had to face the problems of poverty，unemployment，price rise and inflation，irrationality in the economic structure and so on. In diplomacy，the Philippines was somewhat isolated，but new changes have been on，and it was still grim in the internal security situation.
