    Lee Kuan Yew talks about the Philippines on why it FAILS:

    "The difference lies in the culture of the Filipino people. It is a soft, forgiving culture. Only in the Philippines could a leader like Ferdinand Marcos, who pillaged his country for over twenty years, still be considered for a national burial. Insignificant amounts of the loot have been recovered, yet his wife and children were allowed to return and engage in politics."

    A lot of the things described in this thread also apply to Brazil, where I'm currently living. Excessive influence of religion, stereotypes among rich and poor, corruption, taxes, cars costing about 4 times what they would cost in the 1st-world countries, and incapacity to solve problems...

    ^^ that is the biggest problem here, too much politics even in gov't agencies where power grabbing makes Tom Clancy's novel look like run of the mill novels.

    I have the people's sensitivity when being criticized. Its very difficult for pinoys to take the criticism then learn and improve from it.
