Is RP deserving to be called a Nation of cheaters?

Well, here is my reply.

I agree. There might only be thousands of nursing examinees who benefitted the cheating. Too small for the entire 80 plus million Filipinos.

There may be few hundred involved in the baseball cheating.

And yes, it might only GMA, Garci and some alipures who is involve in cheating the results of the 2004 elections.

So few.

But the question is, the reaction of Filipinos about these incident. We no longer feel revulsion of this acts anymore. It is as if its a NORMAL thing in Philippine society. Remember the comment, "Everybody cheats anyway, so whats the fuss is all about?" You see what I mean? Only few are involved but it seems majority agrees or do not totaly care. Remember the saying evil will triumph if good men will do nothing. What are we doing as a people. It seems we dont care about cheating anymore. All we care is money and power. People are reluctant to side with the truth anymore for fear of losing money or of losing power. We have become selfish as a people. We condone wrongdoing as long as it will promote our interest.

Those are only three examples of our cheating habit as a people. You can encounter cheaters in every day life. Taxi drivers, market vendors, students taking exams, government officials almost everywhere yet our reaction is that of passiveness and wala akong pakialam mentality. We may not be a nation of cheaters in the strictest sense of the word. But for sure we are a nation becoming supporters or condoners of cheating.

.. you say reaction?? just read this thread.......


.. and you say that we are a nation supporting cheaters. And i say, you ONLY see the negative.

and istoryador, one simple inquiry here:

who's the "we" you're referring to in your statement? "we" as in you and your alter ego?

[iloveyou4ever]

how about the honest people in the news? How about those taxi drivers who returned much amount of money? The security guards who also returned found money?
This is your opinion but I dont Agree with it, since you may always look at the negative news I tend to look at the positive ones.

Of the total population sa Philippines, only 4% are honest people. Those people cannot be found in church, hotels, malls etc but they can be found in the mountains. Katong mga karaan nga mga tawo.

.. if we belong to the " honest-few" then we should stick with it and try to erase the stain the "dishonest-many" had placed on our culture.

you mean to say 96% of the population are cheaters?

[tackielarla]

100% - people
4% - honest people
100-4 = 96% dishonest people
