Is RP deserving to be called a Nation of cheaters?

[iloveyou4ever]

this is also common on other countries not just the philippines

True but can we do something about it to make us better than the other cheater countries? It's embarassing pa jud kay Christian Nation kita. Pero the Filipinos dont do christian acts but evil acts.

Yes we are. Look at our politicians, government employees, students (specially those who hates to study their lessons), katong mga helpers, tindera/tindero sa merkado (kilohan gani guba or kuwang sa timbang), fish vendors (they tell you that its fresh pero dili diay), meat vendors, etc etc. Example pa ha, kung foreigners ang buyers grabeha kaayo ang presyo murag kotong. So ana jud ang mga pinoy, mga cheaters! Plus kawatan (mostly politicians) pa!

The truth hurts but there's nothing we can do about it. It's already our brand as Philippines.

sorry but thats your brand of the philippines not mine. Its your philippines not mine. I dont see my country as that. We as a nation is not primarily determine by our setbacks there is something more to the philippines than that.

Truth? how could that be true? you see it merely in ones perspective? For one thing, I am not a cheater and i am a filipino. I belong to this nation. With that, one could argue that the philippines composed of filipinos is not a nation of cheaters because there are still those who upholds dignity and honesty even in the most trivial manner in their lives. And we are filipinos. Who breaths the oxygen given out by the plants here in the philippines. take up space here in the philippines. we are filipinos and we are not cheaters.

Nothing we can do? again as i have mentioned in the other threads.... the Spirit of Man knows no limitation.

@ ILOVEYOU ..... I dont know if you are a LICENSED STATISTICIAN or CONSPIRACY THEORIST . My take .... whatever you said are true but its not the NATION .

bottomline is..

we cheat.. they cheat.. we all cheat..

[hala tindak jud]

Some will cheat, others intend to cheat some ae planning to cheat, pero some wont and some dont, so naa ra gihapon dili cheater, so Phinoys some do it some dont, so dili diay ang Philippines nation of cheaters.

As the saying goes : "It comes with losing" . We tend to accuse each other when something goes wrong, when we placed last on the race..
One thing to do, is to reunite and have a clear plan... But it has to start from the top .....they must unite and be comitted...

China cheats , but they are making cellphones, we do openline 6630 vodafone.
Japan cheats, theyre having good techs, we buy their obsolete stuffs..
Korea cheats, theyre making hyundai and kia, we buy all their multicabs and Hilton refurbished it and it becomes 21B or mini ambulance..

If you would notice, they were like us long time ago..and it started when their leaders made a commitment to improve their countrymen's lives..
Im not blaming the present leadership but where are we now?? Can somebody justify??

[fingolfin]

if i have the resources... why not?! but unfortunately, sakto ra jud tawon akong suweldo para mabuhi ko. Is it wrong now to ask for an accountable official and condemn what i see is not right?

... here lies the problem, all you ever do is aire out your frustrations or to use your own word condemn. You're not actually doing anything to solve a particular problem, in this case cheating in all forms. All you do is talk . If you really are sincere in helping out in the eradication of corrupt officials, make a stand, don't just talk about it. Do something. File administrative cases, but, start at your own barrio. And i'm not saying that you'll do it alone, gather people who has the same conviction as yours, like mosimos for example. make a coalition. start a group. then from there you can have all the resources you need to combat corruption. If you want to make a difference, then do it, don't talk about it.

... No, it doesnt have to start from the top. as our bisaya saying goes

dili mahimong diyes pesos kung walay piso

.. it must start from the bottom. Coz the people IS the nation. Not the leaders.

[raddiboy]

my point is Leaders should lead by example..sometimes us followers will do our part to survive, even if that means biting the bullet and be silent even when somethings not right..
In every losing team, one can experience a complete turn around when a new positive energy was infused, a new leader has made its people believe in doing right things.
Lets make basketball an example for this. Ive watched NBA, when a team loses consecutive games, they look at the coach first, not the players, its obvious that the whole team feeds off from the energy and discipline of a new coach..
have we heard of a company that says, "under new employees"? no, its always "Under new management"
..its no different in politics, only thing is its very complicated..
