They could get rid of that latency by hiring Americans.

Any American within a good distance of a large city to mitigate latency issues can make about 4-5x driving for Uber or delivering food.

And latency to small towns in the middle of nowhere is not significantly better than latency to Philippines.

You can expect something in the ballpark of 70ms in both cases.
