The problem of the country is that it is product based and not labor based. Kung saan pa mahirap mabuhay, duon pa mababa yung kita mo for a large amount of labor work such as driving and manning a PUV.

Here in the US labor is very well paid, kaya mahirap ka makahanap dito ng mga taong hirap kumita unless TNT na under the table lang.

For example, if you do a certain amount of work, the customer only pays for your final product, not your effort. Anong kinita mo? Wala. Anong kinita ng kompanya? Yung cost ng product at your expense.

That flaw in the system is what drives people mad to get what they can dahil di sila nababayaran ng tama. They have to act that way dahil wala silang choice.
