    lahat kasi shortcut saka under the table deal hehehe. contrary to popular belief that the shooting of Rizal sa Bagumbayan ang nag-ignite ng rebolusyon to a higher level, yun pala yun ibang magigiting na national heroes natin , ang ginawa eh, nakipag-secret meeting sa mga Kano sa Hongkong para gyerahin ang Intramuros. Syempre papayag ba mga Kano na walang kapalit yun pakikipag-gyera nila sa mga Kastila.

    Itong mga key pinoy figures noon time na yun were very quick to declare independence after the defeat of the Spanish to make themselves heroes & celebs na din! Pero wag ka, pinagbili pala tayo ng 20K USD ng Spanish sa mga Kano.

    sometimes kasi mas maganda pa aminin sa mga students ang nangyari sa tin noon instead of storytelling brave exploits of our so-called "heroes" on how they fought
    gallantly & defeated the Spanish. Whether we like it or not, if not for the bombarding
    of American ships strategically located at Manila Bay, nde maka-slip in ang Katipunan from the back of "the busy at war with the Americans" Spaniards.

    it's really ironical that we brag to the world that as early as the 19th century, we freed ourselves from the mighty Spanish navigators/colonizers pero we love anything/everything Spanish like looks, house interior design, food and social norms. Even in TV ads, we have this pinay morena who TH'ly (trying hard) impresses a conio BF & his senyora mom. hehehe

    The chances for change are very slim. That's the sad truth. A nuclear bomb explosion would certainly unite the country and bring about national pride.

    hehehe... seriously. We need a miracle. Sana kasi binoto nyo rin si Bro. Eddie.

    personal observation ko lng, filipinos basically excel in most fields, pinoys talent are comparable to any nationality in the world, and it is something we should be able to appreciate, when i visited the states and went to shop around, ang daming pinoy buying stuff at outlets kasi mura and branded, bakit nga ba click ang ukay ukay dito, european, italian fashion at a fraction of a cost, why not, yun nga lang colonial mentality, at sasabihin nating galit tayo sa kano becoz of the bases, galit din tayo sa hapon pero bakit nagpupunta dun ang mga pinoy to work as japayukis, very contradicting,ang dami pang instances that we tend to appreciate others kesa ang sariling atin, why buy colgate or close up if hapee will do at par, gawang pinoy yun, kasi me brand ang colgate, bakit ayaw nating bumili ng gawang pinoy compared to japan made kasi we think that its inferior the thing is most pinoy works for multinational companies that we adore, branded clothes like CK, RL, Tommy are made here in the phil, so if we want our country to achieve a better future patronize the phil, why go hongkong if you could drop by Bicol, or why surf at hawaii when you could do it at pangasinan, white sand at boracay, serene place at bali, try palawan

    this is so true...pinoys and other asians (chinese/japanese/koreans) are almost the only people you see at all the outlets. if they were smart these companies would open up outlets in the philippines :bwahaha:
