What hinders Filipinos from acquiring Prosperity?

[cdburgh]

---

sori for the wrong grammar pre. it's "complaining" diay, not procrastinating. im not blaming people to criticize the gov't. what i want to say is that mo-criticize unta lang but with a solution in mind. Being political-minded, not politicized.

no prob bro.
i understand man pod na naa gyud tawo bisan unsaon pa sa gobyerno, dili gyud mo satisfied. but there are also criticism or questions that the govenrment needs to answer and be responsible/accountable for. they should address that unta immediately para human ang issue dayon.

and who are the people confused on focus & directions? those people who value more on hearsays and trial by publicity. those people who think that the gov't is all to blame for their personal problems. those people who are interested more on "soap operas" like the senate circus on ZTE. They're not interested anymore with what's happening in the courts.

like i said, the govenrnment should have addressed the issues right away. by not answering the issues, more and more people will have doubts, and more questions will be raised. it's hard to distinguish whether they complain for personal, for the country or whatever, but i think everyone of us has the right of expression.

i am development oriented bro and if we can harness the talents of individuals, the strength of pinoy corporations and other sectors with the government taking the lead in the development effort, i think the philippines can take off.
it's like running a corporation, identify the resources you can tap, identify our domestic need and that of other countries. get people with the skill set you require, let them work on jobs that they do best and so with the companies. we have to focus our scarce resources and efforts to combat our problems effectively. we have to know what we want for ourselves, we have to be more focused on achieving our goals. all we need is a direction.

Saon na lang...human nature. we tend to be more critical with our own kind without thinking na bisan asa wala man gyud perfect person, perfect system in this world we just tend to notice our own systema of faults and defaults but look at other third world countries, its the same thing. Everyone has a sense of what is going on around them. We are just analyzing why oh whys...well, oh why i dont know why that's why, lol. ( i have to remember no smilies its a habit of tuplok ). kani na lang ; cheese!

we have crab mentality in our Filipino culture, thats why. ü

crab mentality is the problem of this country!

i agree to this

You really have a point...some people misinterpreted the church's teaching..."Blessed are the poor for the kingdom of heaven is waiting for them"...dammit!...ehhmmn...but I think it's not the main factor...I can say that it's with our attitude...I mean most Filipinos are Lazy...haven't you noticed how lazy most of us

I check the verse from Matthew 5:3, it mention "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

they misquoted the verse, it never mention "Blessed are the poor" but rather "Blessed are the poor in spirit", the way I understand this "poor in spirit", it talks about humility before God and He promise that He will promote those who are humble before Him.

What hinders us? Its purely Cultural. has nothing to do with Economics and Politics they are merely symptoms of the disease. We have very good economists, and our political system is quite alright but the problem is Culture and because of it we suffer Government corruptions, debt problems, crab mentality etcetera etcetera etcetera.....

the Problem is Culture. We have no SELF-IDENTITY or probably we have but still untapped. We have no National Spirit, a national pricinpile that we could proudly call ourselves a nation and a race of our own.

thats all.

I agree with "CULTURAL"

Filipinos has Crab Mentality, Utang na Loob and Mediocrity in our system that keeps us from being prosper

Ug ang grabe gyud sa Pinoy kay NUMERO UNONG SINAHAN. Makakita lang sa silingan ug naunsang pagka-unsa-a nga ni asenso man?, masina dayon ug dayug pamantay, panaut - dili nalang gyud magtagad lang sa iyang kaugalingon aron sad siya mo-asenso.

that's CRAB MENTALITY

don't wait for God to change our ways bro, don't wait for the second coming... the change must start from within as soon as possible. Only we can save us from ourselves, if you think it's our "culture" that's to be blamed then let's redesign our culture... Resist and erase everything you know about our culture... matod pa sa kanta sa switchfoot.
"We want more than this worlds got to offer, we want more than the wars of our fathers."
If our fathers and our fathers' father didn't give a damn thing about what's happening or let's say they did, but just didn't have the will to take action... Then it's up to our generation to take responsibility in fixing this hellhole that we're living in... trash your TV, matod pa ni Frank Lloyd Wright "television is chewing gum for the eyes". All the television networks are in the "boredom killing business", so turn off your television and start reading books, Start reading newspapers! bore is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength... everything is backwards!

hehe sorry for my ranting.
