    It's already being advertised at National Bookstore.

    If we had to ban every book that showed the seamy side of the Philippines, even the works of the late Doctor Jose Rizal would be banned.

    “All around her, she could see humanity overrun by its primal instinct for survival…When they face desperation…human beings become animals,” the book read.

    Mga Catholic NGOs mismo nagsabi may *** trafficking problem....

    The book described the *** industry as consisting mostly of young children “many of whom had been sold to pimps by parents who took solace in knowing that at least their children would be fed.”

    Another sub human condition that my ex and I saw on TV were people catching CITY rats for food!

    Dagang bukid is a delicacy in some provinces but city rats are a different story!

    I won't be surprised if some imbecile would want to declare Dan Brown "persona non grata".

    Well, MMDA chairman Tolentino has already written Dan Brown a letter on this matter. 'nak ng kamote talaga oh.

    Our workers cook them adobo style, lots of onions, bay leaf, garlic, toyo, vinegar, peppers, chili, etc.

    It's a local documentary. I don't remember if it was I-witness or Imbestigador. It's somewhere in the slums of Metro Manila.

    ^ Good read.

    Joe America's comment:

    The moral scale is sick so the disciplines to be found under that moral view are also sick. Skirting the law for personal gain is not condemned; people brag about what they get away with. They gain face by cheating and lose face only if caught. The Filipino Ego defines right and wrong not as society’s right and wrong, but as right and wrong in terms of personal power or advantage. The law is society’s definition and it is irrelevant if personal advantage can be gained by ignoring it or circumventing it.

    These deficiencies are more than intellectual. They are built within the personalities, within the culture. It is as fruitless to get a Filipino to deflate his Ego as it is to get a Japanese to abandon false politeness and the penchant to hide from hard truths.
