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

I think ang problem nato kay init kaau. So ang tao dili ganahan mo trabaho, ganahan ra mag pa bugnaw. so lower productivity and slower economy. Thats why tanan countries na init kay low ang economy. Except singapore kay strategic port city man na xa. HK isnt that hot.

also naka wrk ko sa uban nasod. maski UDTO paspas gihapon mi manrabaho. mao dakog sweldo. construction man to. ngano paspas man? bugnaw man. Diri suwayi trabaho udto constructuion kanang paspas, diba ma kuyapan ka. mao gamay sweldo dri, hinay man mo wrk tungod sa ka init

dli na sa kanit..sa katapulan na..ari mo saudi....kay perteng inita.paspas man lagi work sa construction?

mao jud..mao nay klarong EXCUSE ang pgsulti na, "alangan datu jud ang Singapore, strategic port gd, ang Pilipinas dli man"..tsktsk..

Bisan pag asa ibutang ang Pilipinas sa kalibutan, kung way saktong management wa jd ghpy mahitabo.

Mura ra gd na og anak na gkn sa pobre na pamilya, ang uban musulti "Unsaon namu pgdatu na pobre nmn mi daan." Pero nganu naa mn uban na pobre nya krn pirti ng datu.a, ie Lucio Tan. It goes the same with a country, bisan pa asa na disadvantageous na lugar ibutang ang nasud basta kamao m.diskarte/manage ang govt, mdatu jd na.

Thanks for the invitation but I really don't do meet ups.. It's not my thing. Only narrow minded people would go in a meeting with random people they met over the internet just to prove and brag about themselves ... And, i'm not claiming to be expert with Arabs.. Being expert means you know everything about them. I don't wanna know everything about them. Just knowing that majority of their race are not as good as majority of the Filipinos is already a joy to me..

You should read the whole sentence, I wasn't asking for a meet-up. But if I were, unsa may panghambog ana, nga naka-adto ta og middle east? Di ba gud to ikaw ang nag-una og hisgot nga naka-adto na ka didto? Nang-hambog diay ka adto?

We don't have to discuss too much economic terms and we don't have to go deeper with that. Just prove to me or give me actual facts that Lebanon is not that much poorer than Saudi Arabia then maybe I'll be convinced.... And question, have you been (assuming that you've been to a lot of countries) or (atleast) know the situation in Dubai before it became the Dubai we know now? Before it's economy was backed by oil? .... Or let us use another example, a good example, Saudi Arabia (since they're the biggest player)... Do you think KSA would be the KSA we know without their oil? Do you think that a very hot country with a very conservative people and laws would be filthy rich?

If you can't demonstrate proper understanding of economic terms like GDP, purchasing power parity, then don't discuss them. What's so deep to knowing the difference between these, it's just like knowing the difference between an average and the sum total. And you can answer your own question already, is their real estate and finance-based economy now because of oil or because of policies designed by their leaders to focus on these two areas to diversify their economy? Which is the bigger influence the oil or the decisions of their leaders? Do you think the Philippines will now be rich because we have oil deposits? Your question on KSA doesn't make sense because what you said before revolved around their stupidity and laziness and this question implies that its conservatism and climate that may be more relevant. You need to establish first that they are lazy and stupid rather than speculate on how rich they might be without oil.

But all this is pointless. You still have nothing other than your personal, unprovable experience of Arabs to base your generalization that they are all lazy and stupid, that's all I wanted to point out and I've done that already. Don't you know that a lot of racist foreigners who live here say the same thing about pinoys too ? And what's your answer to that, that they're correct just because they've lived here?

Proper governance ra jud ang kinahanglan...dili pud ta ka ingon nga tungod rapud sa mga tao kay dili disiplinado...Para nko if good leader ka ug tinud-anay imong pagserbisyo makabuhat ka ug mga balaod nga mapalambo ang knowledge sa mga ordinaryo nga tao...dapat ma gain nmo ilang respect sa mga ordinaryo...karon ang pulitiko hugaw naman gnahan ka mosunod sa ilang balaod nga sila mismo hugaw pas T*E.
