if dubai was able to do it, and now libya, why can't we?

Kahit sino PANG ilagay mo sa pwesto, the fact that we don't have oil is STILL the main reason why we can't progress as fast as countries like UAE and Libya can. So your argument? FAIL.

You're just like the others here who are using various topics in iStorya.net to show your ire/disgust/resentment against someone in power, and you'll use whatever topic basta lang masingit yung ire ninyo.

That's one of the real reasons why hindi aasenso ang bansa natin--puro na lang kayo angal, wala namang kayong ginagawa.

Sya, bring on the angal.

What I want is for people to stop using posts/threads such as this as a means to vent out their ire against current leadership--there are other avenues (perhaps even more effective than forum posts) to do it.

murag importante man sa key to success ang good and competent leadership mao tingali nang ni gawas ang mga issue about managing a country

ang Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia.. etc .. naai oil .. pero kai dili maayo pag ka manage ila nasud nag lisod lang gihapon ug asenso

Wikipedia:

After World War II, the country was for a time regarded as the second wealthiest in East Asia, next only to Japan. However, by the 1960s its economic performance started being overtaken. The economy stagnated under the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos as the regime spawned economic mismanagement and political volatility.

Kasi natulog na ako.

You guys are blowing up the topic to something larger than the original context. The trick is, STICK to the topic, and in the topic title, I can clearly see that we're NOT comparing the Philippines, to South Korea, Japan, or Taiwan--we're comparing the Philippines to Libya and Dubai. So (stretching my fingers), again, what do Libya and UAE have, that the Philippines doesn't have (and to those who pointed this out, yes, we do have oil but we don't have the necessary infrastructure--both political and physical--to harness it)?

If you guys really want to discuss the problems of the Philippines in earnest, and compare it with such countries as China, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, then why not start a thread saying:

if china, taiwan, japan, sokor was able to do it, why can't we?

In that kind of a thread, most of what you have said in this thread might actually hold water and I'll have to agree to your points. But again, hindi eh--this thread has a DIFFERENT point.

I rest my case. Ang hirap makipag-usap sa duling kasi akala nya dalawang tao ang kausap nya.



Yet another individual that strays from the topic title. Let's take a rather rough analogy shall we?

If gi-lay off ang usa ka maid kay nagkipag-talik sa iyang amo (and nasuko si Dona mao nga gi-fire/gi-sibak si Inday), it doesn't necessary imply nga wala nay ma-sweldo ang mga amo nya sa iyaha.

Pardon me for using such a rough analogy, pero it seems by your remark na ganyan na lang ka simple ang mundo (i.e. wala nang oil, pauwiin na ang mga Filipino), when in fact the inherent complexities of the world markets and how they affect each other could be a better reason why Filipinos from Dubai were laid off.

Again, alisin ang kitid. Kaya lang naman ako arrogant kasi maraming makitid.

I don't care about your analogies, it doesn't change that fact that you're arrogant...

[monrose29]

why cant we?

because we are pinoy...were different from them.. our culture, our attitude, crab mentality and etc...

what if kaha deli pinoy nag puyo deri sa pilipinas? or kita nag puyo sa libya/dubai nya sila ga puyo deri?

unsa kaha mahitabo?

mag unsa mana atong oil, gold, etc.. kung atong mga kina-iya deli magkasinabot for our country, isig paningkamot lang para sa kaugalingon walay unity....

na-a man gali ma ayo nato nga na-a sa goberno ma ihap ra sa kamot so lisud gyud na e compare nato ato country sa lain country nga ni lambo.....

but who knows...maybe someday....

sayang gyud kaayo ang Philippines. we've got brilliant minds and highly skilled people yet we can't capitalize on that.. i hope that this would serve both as an inspiration and alarm for the philippines, labi na sa gobyerno..

The 'new Dubai'? Libya open for business - Yahoo! News

Simple ra kaaU ni nga question and Rodsky is right, OIL ra jud ang bintaha nila nato.. (take note, Dubai and Libya ang gi.compare nato diri ha..Ayaw daUn mo og pataka og compare sa uban countries, like Japan, Taiwan, etc..., kay didto rana applicable inyong argumento about anang "we've got brilliant minds and highly skilled people"


If we compare are country with oil producing countries, wa jud ta dag.anan.. Bisan pa og "we've got brilliant minds and highly skilled people" .. Dubai and Libya are Arab countries and if we compare Filipinos with Arabs, wa jud na dag.anan ang mga Arabo nato bahin lang og abilidad. Ambot naa ba na sa ila ang "we've got brilliant minds and highly skilled people" kay sa akong nasuwayan, wa jud.. Arabs are the dumbest and laziest people I've met (always using the name of God as an excuse for doing and not doing something).. Mao nga ayaw mo og kabalaka nganong mas dato na sila nato kay ang ilang oil ra jud ang nakatabang nganong nadato na sila og dili ang kalidad sa mga tawng namuyo anang mga lugara.. Although karon ang Dubai wa na magsalig sa OIL but still Dubai's economy was built on the back of the oil industry.. They're just lucky they have oil to jump-start their economy.

And if you ask, nganong uban countries diha nga rich in oil man unta but are still poor man gihapon? Maybe studying the history of Saudi Arabia and comparing it with those countries will perhaps enlightened you a little. (by the way, bisan wala'y labot ang KSA ani nga topic, KSA's government are full of corrupt people too but still their country is filthy rich)

All this is based on your personal experience and stereotype of Arabs as lazy and stupid, nothing more.
