What's Wrong with Us Filipinos?

At the end of the day balik din sa atin mismong mga pinoy ang bola..mula baranggay captain hanggang sa pangulo dapat iboto lang natin yung talagang may kakayahan, sooner or later makaka tsamba din tayo ng Lee Kuan Yew or Otto von Bismarck naten..maybe not in our lifetime pero dapat the seeds should be in place..

There's nothing wrong with us Filipinos. Here in the US and other places abroad, every single Filipino I've seen are hard-working regardless of profession. Most are law-abiding, generous, and full of traditional Pinoy hospitality. Every single Pinoy family we've visited never failed to welcome us to their homes, offering food and drink. Most are also traditional, attending Mass regularly and living generally quiet lives.

I think the problems lie back in the Motherland where the old cliches: corruption, disregard for the laws, elitism, etc are in full swing and embedded deeply in society.

^^i hope i get this right...may di makakaalis dahil pinili nilang pikit matang mahalin ang Pinas...kahit may potential silang maging mayaman at marangal sa labas ng bansa. yun naman ding kinasusuklaman natin nakakaalis pa rin.

kahit galit ako sa mga garapal at swapang na puliiko...ayoko pa ring matawag na basura and mga Pinoy. sorry po. ayoko ng "basurang pinoy" siguro pwed tayo sa basurang trapo.

I was thinking the late JFK famous qoute saying:

Some other's qoute saying:

Please allow me to be frank..."Basurang Pinoy" yung mga salot sa lipunan. Trapo, bobo, kriminal, etc. Di talaga sila makakaalis kasi dito sila kumikita. O kaya wala silang pera para makaalis. Hindi ko po tinutukoy sa "basurang Pinoy" yung mga pikit-matang nagmamahal sa Pilipinas na nagtatrabaho ng maayos. Siguro ganon ako kasi ayoko umalis dito kahit ganito. Meron siguro akong "calling"...
