Is the Philippines capable of this?

galing no?

inspiring...

passionate sila

and they are proud sa bansa nila, sa race nila

India is rich in history and in culture which they can be really proud of. And they have great personalities like M. Ghandi and Mother Theresa to emulate. Tayo meron ding 'heroes' and their relatives & grand children are still in the government. As to our Culture, it's close to extinction because of colonial mentality.

What Filipinos really need is a Moral Revolution from the Top Leadership down to the masses. Kasi, if we will look at majority of our aspiring leaders, parang laging may hidden agenda na to enrich themselves first and their clans to the next generations. It seems that TRUTH is a commodity that can be bought by money or force. Governance is PUBLIC service, public trust and moral responsibility; but it seems otherwise to the people sitting in the government.

I suggest that this Video be shown to all patriotic Filipinos who desire CHANGE. But I doubt any media company will be willing to show it unless there will be monetary gain from it. Kasi nga, the priority is always SARILI muna bago ang iba.

Going back to the question, Filipinos are capable if they go back to the basic moral virtues like honesty, live by the golden rule and loving thy neighbor.

+1 ako rito.

India vs. India is a good eye-opener for those who can understand the true implications of such a campaign. but for how long can it last? the vs. is a very dangerous word. it's the same thing as when Moral Revolution is used, give it time and the world "revolution" is the only thing that will matter.

the answer is very simple. there should be Change but change can't happen overnight nor even in a decade nor in a half-a-century. it's a continuous trial and error process. that's why patience is also called a virtue.

it's very easy to spot those who really clamor for genuine change. they dont blame or put the blame on others. start with blaming/comparing, and the idea, no matter how good the intentions are, will pop like a bomb.

Words from Rizal:

“Alas! The whole misfortune of the present Filipinos consists in that they have become only half-way brutes. The Filipino is convinced that to get happiness it is necessary for him to lay aside his dignity as a rational creature, to attend mass, to believe what is told him…without aspiring anything…without protesting against any injustice…any insult… that is, not to have heart, brain, or spirit; a creature with arms and a purse of gold. . . there's the ideal native!.”(The Indolence of the Filipinos by José Rizal, 1890)

Kaya natin yan. It'll just take time to find our own identity. We are a young democracy.

I wholeheartedly agree!

With the kind of public people we have who are more more busy looking after their own self-interests than the general good of the people, it is doubtful.

We would have better chance getting someone to drop an nuclear bomb right in the middle of metro manila.
