Our biggest problem kay those old dinosaurs in government who are used to their dirty ways.

Taxes, Fees, Red Tape... they never teach this in school... the real world version of it anyways.

These agencies / people in the government should be shot or hanged (better if both) as their greedy and self serving attitude hamper the growth and progress of our country.

I think we should impliment the way our old tradition. "BAYANIHAN". i think by individual strive, ang tanan aron muasenso, ang tibuok "PILIPINAS", mao ni ang balay sa bayanihan, ang Pilipinas. Everyone must help each other. if empleyado ka kinahanglan jud mutrabaho ka ug sakto sa kompanya dili kanang magsige ug tapol ug reklamo. then muingon ka nga tag iya lang ang mudato then pag put up ug business aron ikaw ang boss. dili man siguro ka mahimo ug boss if dili ka magtrabaho ug sakto aron mukita ka ug enough sa imong gitrabaho. then if ever wala jud ka paningkamot then napotbol ka. ayawg reklamo ngano nwla ka sa trabaho cause you know it for yourself. and then wala nka trabaho then reklamo ka nga lisod pangita ug trabaho dire sa pilipinas kay dili maayo ang Presidente. i think we must change the way we think and work hard everyday.

murag pare-pareha ra na ani;
"Ask not what your country can do for you--Ask what you can do for your country"
-JFK

[King]

that's absolutely correct.

in my case... i dont think it's the President's fault at all why some of us do not have a job. Some wanted to get the high paying job but they are not qualified so they end up getting the average or even the lowest..

Some of us doesnt want to work for someone. But few only has the courage to go into a business. Some do engage in business but doesnt want to think of how to get the business competetive than the others nor do something on how to expand their business.

As per the Speech of John,from how i understand it, he wants us to be competetive. That is the key to get the economy boosted. Once all of us become more competetive with each other, we come up with something better. Something different. Something that eventually make each of us proud.
