Because they'll cut your head off if u ever F* with them. This is wats going on while we wer too busy whining bout bad politics, queuing for lottery tickets and game shows and telenobelas

If civil war is what it takes, then I'd rather be 200 years behind, bahala na unsang gisulti sa ADB.

yes, the current setting of the Philippine politics is a crap. Corruption is everywhere so how could we vision progress through our government?

But I think there is still hope. If we have a good vision for ourselves and to the people directly around us. And if we stick our focus and efforts to that good vision then we might have progress. And if all Filipinos are doing likewise, then our country can have progress even without the aid of the government.

I remembered a year ago when I was still employed in a certain company here in cebu. A lot of our officemates complained among ourselves about our salaries, it's very meager and compared to our friends who are already working in singapore it's just about 10% of their earning and we are doing more or less the same work. So I told them, we couldn't get more from the company, they have their own vision, and if their vision is to get more profit then it's greatly not aligned with ours who wants to get more salary. So I think we need to have our individual vision and put an extra work to realize it. As for me, I joined several freelance websites and earned extra from it. Today I already run my own company, even though it's just a small company, I have direct control of what I'll earn, and I employ a few fellow as well.

Who will be the next Philippine President?

the first thing we have to consider if we were to completely redesign our social system is "how do you prevent corruption". Corruption is inevitable in a monetary system.

makalas gyud ang money sa tao, labi na if daghan ang mudagan pag ka Pres, VP, Mayor, VM, Congresman, etcccc.. if 2 lang ang mudagan den ang kurakot kai gamay ra unta. corruption is everywhere. dapat minimal lng. also i think we need civil war para ma improve ta?
