Give three reasons why Philippines is POOR

[W108]

---

Corruption - in all forms and levels, morals, values, economic, educational and political

Religion - the rich have too little of it, and the poor have too much of it. (Human nature really, who needs God when the going is good? God does not answer one's prayers by appearing in a dream and telling you to buy lotto or join WOWOWEE.)

Wrong priorities - focusing on real estate development (and building on rich agricultural lands and further displacing the rural populace and forcing them to migrate to the already congested cities, not to mention we are probably one of the few agricultural countries which cannot feed itself and have to import rice), the focus of schools on playground demonstration, parades, song and dance presentations (are we raising our kids to be entertainers? these are not nation-building activities! What's the point of attracting investors to this country when we do not have qualified personnel for them to hire?)

...and the list goes on.

A follow-up question would be: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

1. corruption
2. over population
3. no discipline Filipinos (jay walking, traffic violations, spitting and urinating anywhere as samples of those)

1. CORRUPTION not only in the gov't but also in most places whether it be private or public or even religious sectors. Just to get a lowly job- you might have to kiss someone's behind unless you have the backing of someone rich & powerful.
2. Politicians ( most of them anyway) are out to make a quick buck - not doing their job. They tend to forget who's paying for their salaries, allowances, etc.
3. No separation of state and the church. One simple example would be : the inability of the president to enforce the death penalty. Perhaps out of fear she'll lose the support of the catholic church and all the other religious sects she goes to during election time.

crab mentality
curropt politicians
stupid people

1. excuses
2. why keep voting the same people?
3. excuses

Filipinos need to think outside the box. Look at Spain and italy, both use to have the same problem we're having now.

most people are not that enterprising
most people are only looking up for government to uplift their lives
most people were born from poor families
