Bro.,- mayroon pa tayo nyan. Naniniwala pa rin ako sa aking kapwa Pinoy,- that is why I chose to stay in our country.

Filipinos, like the rest of the people in this world, can change drastically, whether here in the Philippines or in other places,- depending on what authority/environment they're exposed to.

If the authority, whether a Filipino or a foreigner, which means the higher of the two parties, and therefore has the 'final say',- consistently implements the rules and the corresponding penalties that will 'hurt' the offending party, then everybody follows the rules, (sadly) because of fear.

(Fear is a primordial instinct which drives everything else in our life.
OT na po,- pero even our respect for a Supreme Being was initially driven by our fear of survival/punishment)

Corollary to this, if you(authority) let loose of the rope, then, the people will see how far they can go in 'bending' the rules..... This is the current state of affairs here in our country.
