Quality is not the strongest point for us Filipinos. We always shortchanged ourselves by choosing what is cheaper yet defective rather than what is durable. Its a matter of how we Filipinos think that's really troubling.
Example:
Customer: Papalita ta ug bombilya be.. kanang barato lang.
Tindera: Kani ai, china tag 25 pesos ra
Customer: Ay ayaw na China, dali maguba...walay arangan dira,, kanang GE pila man na?
Tindera: 125 pesos... lig-on jud ni hinoon... abot cguro ni 2 ka tuig basta dili lang cge pawng siga.
Customer: Mahala pud ana ui... Walay barato na lig-on dira? Ayaw na lang miss... mag candila na lang ku.
* After a week or two, his house got burned by an unattended candle light*

Hmmm... Let's try to put away the mentality "Kay pobre man gud mi." This thinking alone has cemented Filipinos into poverty. It's as if it is an excuse to become unproductive, to be become insignificant. It is not so much as the corruption of the government that has made this country impoverished, but it is the way average Filipinos think and live with their lives. I tell you, this Poverty Mentality has been putting corrupt officials into high positions, the same officials these Poverty-Mentality people keep on blaming for so many years. It has been a blaming game. We always had a loser mentality. We are so excited when we hear about dole outs. "Hala, naay libre bag, gpanghatag ngadto sa brgy hall ai...igu ra ka mu sign ug papel..." The more we receive charity from other people, the more we put our dignity deeper into the ground. It is in this Poverty-Mentality that Corruption has sprouted and spread infinitely, far across the seven thousand plus islands of the Philippines.

^ sakto jud ka. "kay pobre man gud mi" is always the excuse used.

Exempt lang mi sa balaod.. "kay pobre man gud mi"
Patasa lang ang minimum wage bahala na mabankrupt ang kompanya "kay pobre man gud mi"
Ok ra kung squatter mi "kay pobre man gud mi"
Ok ra mangurakot "kay pobre man gud mi"
Bisag-asa lang mi mangihi "kay pobre man gud mi"
Magtinapulan lang sa trabaho inya magsige og reklamo sa boss nga "dawu" "kay pobre man gud mi"

Daghan kaayog rights and priviledges and pobre sa Pilipinas, labi na sa atoang Constitution, kinsa may ganahan madato kung mas daghan benefits ihatag sa gobyerno sa pobre? Mao na daghan kaayong pinoy nga pobre...

Thanks guys sa inyong mga insights...

Actually I have a very nice job here... Im working as an IT Manager in a very reputable company here sa cebu... And all I see for myself is taman ra jud sa ingon ani (taman ra sa basic needs, and somewhat wala na juy ma-allocate for savings), because the people running our government doesn't care on its constituents. Makasarili kaayo, and that's why wala na jud ko nagparehistro karon nga election... Mura wala naman jud tay mapili karon nga politico nga maprinsipyo, patriotic, and most of all, with conscience...

Hehehehe, mura makabungog na ang News and Articles, kay it seems ang good news, na overshadowed naman sa mga bad news... Only in the Philippines ra man gud, nga basta bad news, pag interesan sa publiko...

mao na ang giingon bro nga maningkamot ta og ato dili ta magsalig nila.

[networkguy]

I may have used the wrong phrase... Let us put this way, ang akong pamilya nagsalig ra sa akong sweldo... Yes basic needs ra, I somehow manage to have my own car (dili tingali ni basic... ehehehee) with my earnings, manage to live in my own home (bahalag magbayad for 25yrs), a little savings in which you doubt would last for a long period, and of course pagkaon for the entire family....

My only point here, is how secure we are not looking for the present time but kon matiguwang nata... Did the government established comprehensive coverage such as healthcare and financial assistance sa mga tiguwang... I think dili kaayo ingon ana ka strong ila provisions... (I remember one time sa SSS, gikasab-an ra intawon ug security guard ang tiguwang nga pensioner, and somehow gihatag na lang intawon nako ako priority no. sa tiguwang kay bsan nagsayo kaayo siya, nahutdan lang gihapon priority no.). Proyekto noon nga makapabor sila, asta ka aggresibo... In short, public service, grabeh ka bulok, mga nagdumala, grabeh ka self centered, ira ra kaugalingon ang gitan-aw.

And yes, I have all the right to complain... 'cause somehow in my own little way, I paid my taxes, and its my contribution that is feeding them, or even making them richer....

Average pay grade sa IT Managers here in cebu doesn't reach 40-50K (kung wala lang ko nasayop)... We'll good if you are in a multinational company (eg. Lexmark ug uban pa.), kay surely more than that. Ako, I am employed in a company run by chinese family, and yes dili ingon ana kadako among mga sweldo.

bro if you're good enough about network apply in a call center or multi-national company we know naman how the chinese companies treat their employees pero dili pud tanan i know some chinese family nga maayo kaayo sa ilang mga tao.
