Fixing our country: Where did we go wrong?

[mastiphal]

---

we pinned our fates to the leaders and surrendered our destiny to their own versions of what is good for us... Responsibility for our own lives has been slipping and we seek the government to take care of us from cradle to the grave...We complain and yet we continue to ask for more... there is an intellectual flaw in our society since the beginning of the Republic... We are just educated in a system of flawed principles, misplaced philanthropy, and perpetual dependency... We started with great liberty and dwindled into less liberty, one administration at a time... we are enslaved by the very leaders, empowered by our votes, that promised us freedom...

sa binisaya pa? unsa man? wa ko kasabot

Export oriented ug import dependent atong economy. Wala tay kagamitan nga maka process ug basic chemical ug basic metal.
so mao nang ang foreigners manguha ug natural resources nato nya iprocess sa gawas nya pag abot sa atoa mahal na kaayo.kung naa man tay industriya nga maka process dili pud atoa. mga panag-iya sa mga foreigners. naa pa gyud silay gi tawag nga tax holidays. kung diin dili sila mubayad ug tax for 10 years.

awa gud sa among economy class nag hisgot mi sa kung pilay earning sa foreign mining company nya ihatag ra sa mining company sa government gamay kaayo kung buot huna hunaon atoa gyud nang resources kung kitay mu process ana dako au atong kita ma libre na jud ang pang hospital sa akong lolo ug lola. hehe

@mastiphal, murag dili pa man ta "export-oriented economy" bai...what we have is consumption based economy...kusog man ang bpo na company natu as well as mining though it seems nga daghan losses but no (if you happen to read news some time last year, san miguel corp, pangilinan group and even lopezes groups wants to venture into mining).

maong si uncle sam ganahan diri sa atua or sa ubang lugar mogamit sa atung natural resources (investments kuno) it's because "when the world's resources runs out" only theirs are left and of course dugay2x jud ang pagkupot sa US sa tanan countries if mahitabo na..don't you know that US has a lot of oils under it's territory which is bigger than saudi arabia?

uncle sam really knows how to play it's card. and china is following uncle sam's path now by just reading their "investments" to africa, argentina and even australia....

Hopefully makab ot rapud nato ang igong disiplina sa kinaiyahan samtang magpadayon sa paghunahuna sa atong isi kaingon arong mapukan ang pagkamapahimuslanon sa panahon.

bitaw, dont blame all to the government...

a few people have found the solutions by thinking outside the box.

but we treat them as outcasts.

@ snifruz,


off topic sa ha,regarding your revelation nga ang US has the most oil under their territory .where did you get that info? did you

read it from a reliable source?im just so curious to know. i know that Texas has oil but i dont know how large the oilfield

underneath it is. would be glad to hear more regarding this matter..

and back to the topic, dependent ra kaayo ta sa laing countries,mao na ako nabantayan karon ,to think na naa man ta mga

maayong laki daghan sa mga Kababayan nato. nahibung bitaw jud ko og maayo. naa jud siguroy flaw nga nahimo pagsugod

pa lang sa atong gobyerno sauna...

i just hope dili na mailad ning mga pinoy uy. kapuy na kaayo ay! sa tinuod lang, come on guys, lito lapid as senator kita ra gyud nakaingon ingon ani ni atong country, we vote the wrong people, we dont follow simple rules, we tend to compromise, we tolerate, we dont love our country. kanang ahcee flores nga issue mao nay numero uno nga sign nga ang pinoy dili makabayan. and kadto pud mga cebuano nga mga mabaw pud kaayo nga nitubay pud nga gigeneralize nalng pud tanan tagalog, utro pud to, mura pud ug mga ahcee flores bisaya version. unsa mn daw labot sa uban tagalog beh nga si ahcee flores mn nicomment ato? wla, dba? pro giapil nato sila ug away. anyway, i just hope we learn from the MANY MISTAKES we've made in the past, and even doing right now. there's always hope gyud. this country has so much to give if only we work together.
