    Good observation. Other than Spain or Argentina, a significant portion of populations of other countries wherein the catholic church is extremely militant or active in politics is under poverty. Of course, it makes these people largely susceptible to the influence of the clergy as to matters of state policy.

    the reason why there is so much resistance to change is coz the people in power prevent it.

    Political dynasties - who is going to make laws (then enforce laws) against political dynasties? lawmakers and practically everyone who holds a govt position is grooming their wife/kids for future elections.

    PUJ phaseout - that would be sooooooo unpopular. it would make the politician pushing that soooooo anti-masa. And we all know being pro-masa wins votes.

    agrarian reform - big land owners are usually allies of politicians. Or even the politicians themselves. They will not give up their land. period.

    public bidding - public bidding actually takes place (but not always). but even if u win in a public bid and delivered the goods/services, u still have to make some govt people richer before u can get ur payment.

    population control - Sadly, the catholic church still has strong influence on voters. Not many politicians dare defy the church.

    Oh except that part. What I meant was someone who came from nothing and will capture the hearts of rich and poor, will dream of superstar status for our country and work on it. No invading of neighbors nga lang.
    Killing of groups? Well I think some groups ought to be eradicated. (Yung mga laging nasa news na nanggugulo)

    On political dynasties - I guess the only solution would be to vote them out of office everytime they try to get back in.

    On agrarian reform - If they won't give it up, then take it from them forcibly. Those politicians who try to obstruct land distribution should be summarily jailed.

    Population control - I'd like to challenge the bishops to put their money where their mouths are and build shelters for the homeless, feed the hungry and all that. Seriously. They've got very significant resources (land and cash) at their disposal.

    PUJ/PUB - People should understand that the ultimate consideration here is transport safety. E kung nakaaksidente and bus o jeep at tatakbo lang ang drayber, wala talaga mapapala mga tao.

    Public bidding - Tama meron. But the submitted bids and the deliberation on these bids remain largely secret or unavailable to the public. It's access to these information which will help combat fraudulent bidding processes.

    Agree here. Freedom without responsibility is chaos. This is where we're in now....

    Politicians are unwilling to enact or enforce laws that can threaten the interests of self, family, friends, and allies.
