What Do You Feel When Pinoys Get Bashed?

donbuggy:

But what if our culture is the reason we're not successful? Should we change?

i have pointed those things out in another thread here in tsikot

one of my posts in that thread

those "professors" and "experts" have been pointing to land reform for years

it's not land

it's culture, it's work ethic, it's mentality

when your people are highly productive, very work oriented, time-sensitive, may malasakit sa company they work for, may malasakit sa bansa, your country becomes an economic powerhouse, producing a mind-boggling volume of goods

pinoys are too family-oriented, too leisure-oriented

pinoys view work as torture... kung pwede lang i-fast forward ang oras sa trabaho para makauwi na at makasama ang pamilya

ang oras naman sa trabaho hindi maximized

work that could be finished in one day takes days or weeks to finish

add to that the number of days na walang pasok sa loob ng isang taon

hindi time-sensitive ang pinoy... pinoys do not value time. pinoys do not value their own time and other people's time

no wonder the economic output of the Philippines is always less than that of other Asian countries

when you have people who are not work-oriented, not very productive, time-wasting, walang malasakit sa company, walang malasakit sa bansa...

when you have people who are laid back (enjoy, have fun, relax), never serious (kenkoy), geared for consumption, not geared for production, leisure-oriented...

you get a country with lots of malls and supermarkets, lots of restaurants, bars and nightclubs, lots of resorts and spas, lots of end-user consumption businesses, lots of importers, not a lot of factories, not a lot of B2B (business-to-business) businesses

and you also get a country where more than 10% of the population have to work abroad, so they can send money to their families here so their families can do what pinoys do best -- enjoy, have fun, relax, and consume
