Lee Kuan Yew's Reply to Mr. Marcos' Statement

[miyay]

---

The problem with the Filipinos is that we rely too much on hope and pin it on one person. We always pray but we never work. We put too much faith in God and certain individuals. God can only provide guidance and a few people can only do so much. Then, when it becomes evident that what we are hoping for will not come, we play the blame game and hope and pray again.

i forgot the title of the movie but i could never forget this line: pity the nation that needs heroes

Bongbong was probably smoking something we're not when he made those statements.

such a nice read...

it's an eye-opener for everyone who keeps on claiming "Singapore na unta ta kung wa pa napalagpot si Marcos!"

from Lee Kuan Yew na jud na ha... Marcos was on the WRONG track, obviously!... Enough with the "what ifs"...

what dragged our country down the drain is the incorporation of CORRUPTION as part of our CULTURE over time...

[peewee_toot]

oh corruption... kanus-a pa intawn ka mawala sa among mahal nga nasud?

pwede c LKY na lang mo magpadagan sa pinas?

We always criticize and we always blame all the politicians for all the misfortunes we've gone through. We don't even reflect the situation to ourselves, it is not their SOLE GRAVE SIN that they should be the ones to take all the SLAMMING and CRITICISM from the public. Sometimes, though unknowingly, we ourselves are a great contributing factor to the sluggishness of our country. We always demand more wages and stuff nya dili sad ta magkugi? What's it for? There's not free lunch in the world. Dapat trabahuan jud na anto ang atong mga pnaginahanglan, this is a competitive world and to survive is to become diligent and competitive in your field. Dili na pwedeng ihungit nalang sa taw ang tanan, you need to move on your own. God gave us this body for us to use it (decently) to earn a living and serve ourselves. Ang problem ani ron, juan naman nuon kaayo, maghuwat lang nga matagak ang prutas sa iyang baba. We should not just depend upon the government for everythin kay dili man nila kaya nga sila-sila ra...... they need us, the FILIPINO CITIZENS to act as one, strive as one and rise as one.

Ger, Very good writing, Amen to that! You sound like a good sound politician.

Ron, the country needs YOU! You know what I mean.

our country is hopeless...

i wonder if ma usab ang pinas even if si Lee Kuan Yew ang magdala...

It won't be hopeless if we take hope out of the equation. Let's stop hoping and start working... together for the greater good. That's the only way.

This is an interesting topic and it is interesting to know that Philippines was mentioned by Lee Kuan Yew in his autobiography.

Personally, the fact that Lee Kuan Yew talked about the Philippines, it shows that he cares. He sees the potential.

Let's not waste this potential.

thats why daghan pinoy sa SG nag work..hehe
