The Philippines is a great country no doubt about it but the problem really is the politicians and the people who chooses blindly to put them there. The people are the ones responsible for the misery they are experiencing, i have been here in the US for about a year now and from what i have observed the lives here and there are really the same. The problem is the quality of life and doon nanaman pumapasok yung gobyerno. Here as long as your willing to push yourself to the limits then i guarantee you, you will survive. There? Im telling you, do everything, pray to god if you want but the fact of the matter is hanggat andiyan yung mga TRAPO (traditional poli) and dynasties wala talagang mangyayari.
BTW next year there is planned reopening of the US base in Olongapo plus another base is planned to be built somewhere in mindanao. I'm going to bootcamp next year so hopefully sana maopen yung US base para makauwi ako.
