TRUE enough for me
why phil never grow--1. mostly investors in phil are not pinoy. 2. over populated. 3. politics are business.. hikhikhikjust my two cents
sad but true.
undisciplined - pasagad lang pangihi, naka observe mo sa mga underpass/overpass angso kaayo usahay naa pay human waste; pasagad lang pangluwa ug labay sa basura; Filipino time, magsabot ug 4pm pero 5pm na maabot; etc daghan pa example sa pagka walay disiplina natong mga pinoy
unethical - nepotism, palakasay, etc
low moral - some showbiz personalities are good example - you know na siguro what i mean
if only our government do their jobs, most filipinos would have not been criticize as all that.....there's a lot of undisciplined, unethical and people who have low morals in every country even in first world countries pero di sila kaarte co'z the government uphold the law....bottomline is we have poor governance and it reflects on some of the people living in the country. if these people would have been living in the states doubt it if they will risk peeing in an alley.
The government emanates FROM the people.... conversely we can say that We have undisciplined, uneducated citizens that far outnumber those who are educated. This allows people in the government to get away with their crimes. These people who pee anywhere in our streets would still be peeing in the streets of the U.S. . they would be living in the ghettos.Originally Posted by evs
I don't believe people need to always have the government watching over their shoulder and reprimanding them for every wrong thing they do. In countries like Japan for example, people are disciplined and there is very minimal government presence... in contrast, third world countries and even depressed sectors of first world countries have undisciplined citizens.
For me, it's not the government but the citizens... we allow ourselves the excuse that just because the government is this and that... we are screwed.
@vivpvip68...i'm sorry but i disagree with you but then that's just my opinion, you don't have to agree with it. i respect of how you look at things but i don't have to agree with you.

haha...mao ba? how can you be so sure? been here in the states for more than a decade but i haven't notice such thing with filipinos or maybe i just don't know of a filipino that live in the ghettos. oh well.....all i know is, filipinos here are hardworking law abiding people.....peeing in the streets in the US, now that would be a sight to see.....i'm sure i'll get a kick out of it especially if that person is a filipino.....![]()

Blue eyes, blonde hair. That is beauty.
Gucci, Guess, Dolce and Gabanna. That is being classy.
BMW, Ford, GMC. Hot wheels.
Dollars. That is the new Philippine peso.
American. That is the new Filipino.
BASICALLY, we desire to be Americans. That's why every Filipino parent prepares a grand fiesta
when a daughter is engaged to a foreigner. Imported products fill the stores. Even the old value
of virginity has been thrown into the dustbin because we follow the American culture.
It's not that I hate Americans. My point is that their identity is not ours. They are Americans.
We are Filipinos. We may have been once their colony, but we are still not them. We will never be
them. National identity cannot be changed; if we insist on changing it, we will only end up
frustrated.
We should instead appreciate being Filipino. There burns a fire in us that no other nation has.
We just don't see it that much.
As far as I can see, we are the most resourceful race. When it seems we've reached the end of the
road, we still find a way. It is only in the Philippinesthat midwives can turn the transverse
lie of a baby into cephalic position so the mother can deliver normally. In the United States,
such a case would automatically call for caesarean section.
Unlike in the United States, respect for our elders stands as the norm of our society. Here,
answering parents when being corrected spells downright catastrophe. Even our superstitions warn
against disrespect for elders. High school life in our country is not as traumatic as it is in
the United Statesbecause we respect the authorities. As a result, we become more psychologically
stable individuals than the Americans.
Filipino families are usually solid support systems, unlike in other nations. We stand together
from one economic crisis to the next. Because we are able to unload our stress to our family, we
have better levels of sanity than the Americans. Family members are so intimate with each other
that siblings know each other's secrets and borrow one another's things. In our society, the
problem of one becomes the problem of the whole family
and even of the relatives. For us, our families are the fuel for our dreams. We want to catch the
stars for those we love. Well, that is one noble thing in us worth admiring.
A people born into the nothingness of poverty, yet continuing to strive to be something for our
families; a nation that respects the wisdom of the old in order to inspire the new generation, a
race that amid deprivation produces a solution. That is the cream in Filipinos when unwrapped.
So, before we ever desire to be Americans, think: Are resourcefulness, respect and family unity
not worth the pride of being Filipinos?

greeeat!!! there are things that is still what it would be...
Its true... but what lies beneath the ideals are more profound and needed to be dig deeper and has to be understand deeply.
Things... never change... and what does not change of us filipinos is that being psychologically balance... nothing more...
