    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 (businesses-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
    ilipat mo ang mga pinoy na iyan biglang mag iiba ang work ethic nila...sa ibang bansa karamihan naman ng mga pinoy hindi naman ganyan.

    ^^ they have no choice pag nasa ibang bansa sila. they have to adapt to their surroundings in order to survive.

    yes, i noticed that

    pinoys work harder abroad

    gustong gusto pa nga mag overtime

    di kasi nila kasama ang pamilya sa abroad, so there's nothing much to look forward to after work, so might as well work more hours, dagdag kita pa

    yung iba may second job pa

    and when your co-workers are hardworking and very professional, mahahawa ka...

    mas productive ang pinoy sa abroad

    sayang no?

    yung productivity nila napupunta sa host country, di sa Pinas

    yes our country gets remittances

    but the value of their contribution to the GDP of host countries is much greater than the amount of money they send to the Philippines

    Masakit man tanggapin, but I think Filipinos cannot be given freedom. Kelangan meron nagma-'manage' palagi sa kanila kung ano ang dapat gawin.

    Democratic system is a failure in this country. We were given the freedom to vote for our leaders, kung sino-sino naman ang binoboto, basta sikat, yun ang pipiliin; freedom of assembly, lahat nalang ng ginagawa ng government, kinokontra, rally dito, rally doon, welga dito, welga doon; freedom of expression, ano ba masasabi nyo sa media natin, it has become too powerful na kinakatakutan na sila kahit ng ordinary people, like pwede nilang gawan ka ng bogus story if hindi ka magbigay ng pera sa kanila.

    Actually...

    We know our problem
    We also know the solution (in fact we think of zillions of ideas to solve it)

    Then we absolutely do NOTHING about it.
    and then we whine why.

    That's Pinoys

    There's nothing wrong with being family centric. My officemates in the bayarea and Canada are family oriented. US and Canada are far more well off than the Philippines. American companies (well make that the one that I'm working for right now - a Fortune 100) is family oriented so for me there's nothing wrong for being family oriented. Ang puti pag may saket may saket. Hindi yan papasok. Pag may kailangan sa pamilya nila hindi rin papasok. So walang kinalaman ang pagiging makapamilya.

    people had to work hard and make sacrifices to create with a well-managed country like Canada

    if people in the Canadian govt had the same work ethic and lack of vision as govt people here, Canada would be a third world country

    ---

    you don't become fortune 100 company without some very hard working people sacrificing family time to build the company

    that fortune 100 company may be "family-oriented", but some people had to work overtime to turn it into a fortune 100 company in the first place

    surely, even up to now, there must people in that company working overtime while other employees are calling in sick or enjoying family time

    --

    you need a foundation first

    like somebody had to build the country first

    they call 'em founding fathers

    like a hardworking grandfather or father who had to build the family fortune first

    then the lazy grandchildren or children can enjoy a life of leisure

    if the grandfather or father bummed around...

    if the forefathers bummed around...

    there will be no USA

    you can't compare the US to the Phils.

    pinoys went to the US when US is already well established

    pinoys werent there when the real hard work was being done

    now you see some bums in the US and say "hey, tamad din pala tao dito, pwede pala yumaman ang bansa kahit tamad ang tao"

    very good
