Gallup interviewed 1,000 adults aged 15 and older in each country and where asked questions to gauge their Positive Experience Index. Among the questions asked were: Did they feel well rested? Were they treated with respect? Did they smile or laugh a lot? Did they learn something interesting? In 2012, the Philippines ranked fourth and shared the spot with Guatemala. This year, the Philippines went down one rank lower, though.
