Malakas din kasi sa atin yung "pakikisama" sa kahit sa masamang bagay, nagpapadala pa rin tayo. Siguro, kasama na rin yung ating "bahala na" attitude at talangka mentality. Yung mga pinoy na nasa ibang bansa, walang social pressure na mag-conform sa kinaugalian na. Hataw lang sa trabaho kaya umaasenso.

Kulang sa sense of responsibilty.
Uunahin munang sisihin ang ibang tao bago isipin kung nagkamali ang sarili - punu't dulo ng saradong pag-i-isip. Bakit kaya? Siguro dahil nasanay tayo sa kanya-kanya. Iba yung kapit-bahay ko, iba rin ako, mas tama ang paniniwala ko.
Other factors, the country as an archipelago, diverse culture, and religion (diverse beliefs, principles, norms).

I was merely pointing out that there are former colonies that prospered. But, your view's still valid. There are many former colonies that languished after becoming independent.
You've probably noticed it too. But, just about every former colony where the Europeans stayed have prospered: the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Israel, maybe South Africa.
The list of former colonies that prospered without a sizable Anglo population is pretty small: Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia maybe.....
The rest in Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America are a mixed bag of developing countries (including the Philippines) and those in utter poverty.
I'm not sure why the lack of progress. If I knew the answer, I'd be a consultant and I'd be rich. But, I don't. So I can only suggest that internal wars, over-population, corruption, and lack of national unity are some of the bigger causes.
Common sense says to apply scientific methods of analyzing and fixing the problems one at a time. But, there's bound to be political, religious, and social repercussions. Fixing the problems in the Philippines may involve drastic measures such as restraining the Catholic Church and taking them out of politics altogether. Or, a rule similar to China's no more than 2 kids per household policy. It'll take someone with an iron fist to implement such measures and it may get really ugly before progress is made.
Just thinking about it is enough to give me a headache.....

Overpopulation – it’s time to consider 2 child policy before it’s too late. Roman Catholic’s advice is ridiculous. It's so obsolete to follow. Bakit sa Vatican at Italy hindi dumadami ang population? Pero ang abuloy doon ang unang punta?:pope:
And also ang mahihirap ang kailangan ng mga balasubas na politiko dito…mag-alaga ka lang ng mga squatter lamang ka na sa eleksyon.

I think it has something to do with how the people high up in the bureaucracy get everything and everyone else has to live with their scraps. Kinda like 90-10 rule; 90% of the wealth is with 10% of the population (Sometimes they even say 99-1). Maybe someone else can expound on this...

In the middle ages (age of knights and kingdoms circa before age of enlightenment), serf at lord, master and servant mentality during the height of manor land ownership system.
