Agree ako dito. I'm working abroad and sadly because of this 'pakikisama' attitude, I insist that my staff be composed of non-Pinoys. Although the local staff are technically not as skilled as Pinoys, they are more easier to manage, assign tasks, they dont take criticism personally, more professional. Basically mga Pinoys I've worked with are abusive and have this 'hanggang sa makakalusot attitude'.

Anyhow for the TS, command and responsibilty yan as far as your boss is concerned. At the start of the project, dapat malinaw yung responsibilities ng bawat team member mo. Dapat may status meeting kayo to detect any slippages. You should have mitigated these risks nung simula pa lang so that corrective measures were taken para hindi ma-jeopardize yung schedule at quality ng mga deliverables.

Mahirap talaga mag-manage ng tao, minsan mas gusto ko pa kausap ang makina (ie computers) kaysa mga tao. Di bale, lesson learned na lang ito para next time mas alam mo na.
