Kung ganun pala that it will take several generations, Naisip ko lang naman. Hindi ba pwede ipa-manage muna sa foreigners ang pilipinas then after 100 years or so na maayos na ang bansa, na meron ng maayos na sistema ng governance and hindi na pangdurugas and pangungurakot ang nasa isip ng bawat pilipino eh i-turn over sa bagong generation ang pamamahala ng bansa.

I fully agree with your observations sir. History has always proven that the pre spanish period filipinos were HONEST, WITH INTEGRITY AND OBSERVED AN HONOR SYSTEM. But after western intervention got into the culture (most notably the spanish), that spelled the quick extinction of the pre spanish period culture.

It took Spain 400 years to colonize this country, just imagine how long it would take us to unlearn what we have been used to...
