The problem is, the Philippines is not a nation. It is 7,107 (or 7,106, depending on the tide) islands with hundreds of indigenous groups and tribes separated by mountain ranges, rivers and seas who have less in common with each other than in many bigger nations.
The rule of the "oligarchy" is often harped about... but the real trouble is... all these people are ruled, by dint of superiority of numbers and exposure... by a small subset of the population that just happens to live and work in Manila... which has little care or connection to the rest of the Philippines.
Singapore doesn't have this problem. It is a small, united city.
Malaysia has some of these problems, but it is united by a single religion and traditional aristocracy... and is swimming in oil money.
Indonesia, less oil money, still somewhat united, despite peace and order problems.
Us? We have two or three major religious factions... several major ethnic groups and voting blocks... and somehow, despite the short shrift Malacanang always gives Mindanao, we've managed to keep the entire island from seceding by dint of military force.
That's not a country. That's a jigsaw puzzle made out of pieces that don't fit.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

Might as well boycott all Megaworld malls including Eastwood since they own Lucky Chinatown. Also boycott all tsinoy businesses because they are chinese, though no relation to the greedy mainland goverment...
