    In more progressive countries, people value time. and people value the time of other people.

    But here, people do not value their own time and other people's time.

    We TAKE OUR TIME.

    And here, we have holidays... lots and lots of holidays. we love it pag walang pasok. yehey!

    Count all the days na walang pasok in 1 year, and consider the Pinoy way of doing things pag may pasok... that will explain our economic productivity hehe (even with growing exports, we dont even come close to Thailand)

    anyone ever had a court case? how looooooooong does it take?

    Funny no? the Mexicans are kinda like us too.

    Guess those Spanish colonizers are really bad influence huh?

    Kahit tanggalin mo yung mga nakaupo, kung yung mga papalit naman eh ganun din edi walang nangyari.
    hindi ko po nilalahat ang politicians. ang sabi ko po ay yung mga "ganid" o corrupt lang.

    wag naman din pong lahatin ang pinoy na di sumusunod sa rules o batas. majority sa ating population ay law-abiding citizens. yung mga ganid na politicians ang alam kong di sumusunod sa batas dahil me pamsuhol sila kung sakaling mahuli sa illegal activities.

    wag uli pong i generalize ang pinoy na hindi nagbabayad ng tax. majority po ng pinoy lalo na yung nasa middle class ay me with holding tax kada payday kaya no way na makalusot sila from paying taxes. yung mga corrupt politicians ang hindi nagbabayad ng tamang tax, kaya nga patuloy ang kanilang pagyaman.

    tungkol naman dun sa issue na yung papalit sa nakaupo ay ganun din, dapat po na iboto natin ay yung me integridad at me pagmamahal sa bayan. kung sa lugar ninyo po ay wala na ng ganitong mga pagkakatiwalaang tao, ay wala na po akong magagawa.

    =lolo pepe;625834]gusto ko yung sa japan...

    pag napahiya ang isang public official dahil sa scandal ay magpapatiwakal thru hara kiri.

    pag inapply sa pinas, nakow, siguradong ubos ang mga ganid na politicos natin. siguro ito na ang time ng pag-asenso ng pinoy.
    meron daw isang bansa na kapag nag scandalo ang isang pulitiko ay
    tinatali sa riles, tapos ipasagasa daw nila sa tren. pag ung politico daw di
    umamin habang nakatali sa riles ng tren(namamayagpag sa takot), di nila kakalagin kung malapit na ung tren hangan tuloy-tuloy silang sagasaan nung tren. siguro mabisa sa mga rascal na politicos sa pinas ito.

    That even though there's no traffic officer at the street corner, we still follow the first come first to proceed rule.....

    Then, when we leave the gates of Subic balik tayo agad sa mga ugali natin?

    Why nga kaya?:Off-Topic2:

    we're treading an unfamiliar territory wherein strict traffic laws are being implemented in subic which were initiated by the americans during their time.

    it's a basic animal instinct na kung hindi mo kabisado ang forest ay very,very careful ka sa iyong actions at baka ka makain ng predator.

    same holds true sa human nature, this time around ay careful ka baka ka ma penalize, makalaboso o mapahiya, kaya obey mo lahat ang rules and regulations.

    pero pag nasa familiar territory ka na ay kampante ka na, kaya balik sa dating gawi, palpak man o hindi.

    Ang mga oil-rich countries dyan sa Middle East ay kayang-kayang hindi mag-collect ng taxes dahil mayroon silang langis. Hindi na nila kailangan ng gobyerno ang revenue from taxes, lahat galing sa oil sales.

    Ang problema lang sa ganyang setup ay walang accountability ang gobyerno sa kanilang mga mamamayan. Kayang gawin ng kanilang gobyerno ang kahit anong gusto nila without consultation from its people, kasi wala naman silang tax na sinisingil sa mga tao. Kaya ang mga tao walang magagawa kung hindi tanggapin lang ang kahit anong sabihin o gawin ng kanilang gobyerno, both good and bad. In essence, you are rich but you are not free.

    Case in point: dyan sa Saudi Arabia, pag Kristyano ka, pwede mo bang i-exercise ang religion mo openly and freely?
