What are The Philippines like? I have a friend from there from my University days who wants me to come visit her... never really been a place I’ve thought much about travelling to though.

I have a friend who lives there, and swears by it. It's a cheaper, and potentially livelier/more fun version of Thailand. It's still somewhat undeveloped tho.

i have a hungarian friend who lived there for a few months while getting a generous unemployment benefit from the dutch government he loved the experience, but it was certainly less developed than any european country. his girlfriend had some issues getting used to the food without getting a diarrhea each week. next stop for them was malta, they been living there for ~2 years now without any complaints.
Philippines is a big country, i would say it's Thailand in the 80s underrated, i don't know where your friends were staying but a city like cebu has everything you'd need and more.
Bali is a tad overrated. Malaysia, as a country, is much better than Indonesia. Jakarta is a nightmare because the traffic sucks, even more than Bangkok. Indonesia is rapidly developing, but Malaysia is already developed, particularly KL.

Malaysia has amazing beaches too, as does the Philippines.
Bali has become incredibly commercial, and is deserving of its reputation. If you enjoy diving, there are many other spots in Indonesia and Malaysia as well.
Vietnam i did not like one bit, malaysia is great but you have to head to borneo, in indo check out raja ampat area which is in the indo papua side. Cambodiais also a great value.
