No we don't understand each other as Filipinos, so there has to be changes, but most of these have to come from within each of us.

The good thing is, all change, even very large and powerful change, begins when a few people start talking with one another about something they care about. I believe this thread is a start, no matter how small and simple.

If we do care about 'us' as Filipinos, let's continue sharing our opinions but let respect for these opinions prevail over emotions. Each of us will always have our biases. Let our arguments be highlighted with these biases, but let us also learn to be more discerning and accept criticisms constructively. With understanding, we can reassess our positions and perhaps learn to agree. In the end, we can still disagree without being disagreeable.

kitang pinoy di magkasinabot? hahaha murag di man guro pinoy ray ingon ni. Democrat-Republican, Shiits-Sunnis, SoKor-NoKor, are just some examples. so para nako common ra ni nga panghitbo, di ra ni sa ato-a. di man gani ta permi magkasinabot sa ato mismong ginikanan unsa pa paka sa silingan..hehehe

of all the problems that our country is facing murag naka conclude ko ba na murag naa jud common problem sa ato mga pinoy which is understanding each other..


what do you think guys?

...obviously, not only just us but each and every living creatures on this planet. What a terrible question? ultimo, elementary makatubag...

...Think about this, why would animals are fighting with each other? why would also insects are defending and fighting with each other? why lovers are fighting with each other (which we thought that they are lovers so they should be loving) Why people are fight? Dako kaau ug karatula gibutang.... it is because, of the PRIDE! instead of proud unta na....

...As per Aristotle statement, "Now the man is thought to be proud who thinks himself worthy of great things, being worthy of them; for he who does so beyond his deserts is a fool, but no virtuous man is foolish or silly. The proud man, then, is the man we have described. For he who is worthy of little and thinks himself worthy of little is temperate, but not proud; for pride implies greatness, as beauty implies a goodsized body, and little people may be neat and well-proportioned but cannot be beautiful." He concludes then that, "Pride, then, seems to be a sort of crown of the virtues; for it makes them more powerful, and it is not found without them. Therefore it is hard to be truly proud; for it is impossible without nobility and goodness of character."

..Right?

kabalo ka ngano nakapangutana ko ani nga question? our problems doesn't just include on pride lang man..elaborate nako ha kung ngano para nimo..


1. managlahe ato mga dialects kada probinsya inig makig-istorya ta nila, di ba?
2. mas daghan ug mga religion ang pinas na halos malibog na ang mga kadaghanan sa ato kung kinsa ang toohan.
3. mas daghan mga aktibista ang pilipinas. naay leftist, separatist ug mga terrorists.
4. kumpara sa ubang nasod mas daghan rebelde ang pilipinas kaysa korea, iraq ug afghanistan
5. mga pulitiko nato wala ka nakapansin nga always na lang mag impeach sa mga leaders na dili nila gusto?
6. anytime soon ang mindanao makigbulag na sa pilipinas kay naka feel ang mindanao nga murag dili ginatagad ang mga problema na dugay na nga giatubang sa mindanao.
7. corruption nato grabe kay sugod sa pinakagamay nga position hantud sa pinakadako mag commit ana.
8. ato kultura dili magkasinabtanay labe nag bago pa ka sa lugar nga gidayuhan nimo.. try adto sa maguindanao kung kasabot ka.
9. ultimo bisaya managlahe gihapon ang version sa ila bisaya dialect.


karon nakuha na nimo ngano nakapangutana ko aning terrible question na imo giingon??

Wrong. You are quoting Aristotle who is distinguishing a proud man who thinks he is virtuous, but is truly not. This is outside of the context with which the TS declares that the common problem with us Filipinos is understanding each other. And what is so terrible about the TS's question 'what do you think guys?'


Your post only highlights this misunderstanding. For how can the TS's premise be compared to animals who fight or insects who protect their territory? (They are incapable of being rational thinkers, while we are.) Perhaps with the TS's reply above, you can give a more enlightened opinion.
