How I wish na unta ang ato kina-iya pareho jud sa japanese.. but u know na.. japanese is japanese, pinoy is pinoy..
Mao sad na ang admiration nako sa Japanese (though I do think there is a sort of extreme and perversion in their society, but they are good people)--they come out of a revolution, 4 consecutive wars (devastated in the last one), gets atomic bombed in a span of 70 years, and by the 1960s, they've completely pulled out of their dismal state to become a force in the region. Same with Korea, came out of an occupation, civil war and a coup--and bam! also an economic powerhouse by the mid 90s. China as well, from a lap dog of many western countries into a country posed to be the strongest...All these countries success can be partially attributed to one thing, and that's nationalism. A sense of solidarity or unity. We don't have that. We have never undergone a major civil war, but we have always been in constant rift as a society. Mao siguro wala sad tay progress.
