Video: PROUD TO BE PINOY? Dont Be, Here's Why...

[FAQ]

---

As a former Filipino , now a Canadian citizen , I believe Philippines has all POTENTIAL to compete globally with the "first world" . We're ranked 31st on COUNTRIES WITH THE HIGHEST GDP GROWTH RATE (rise to 7.3% from last year - apparently the world's highest) . Goldman Sachs even predicts that Philippines will be one of the LARGEST ECONOMY by 2050 .

We could've even be out of the THIRD WORLD - regained composure immediately after the financial loss from Marcos corruption - if Cory didn't changed the constitution . Even the new constitution restricts foreign investments coming in the country . If you think there are a lot of foreign investors in the country , it could've been a lot more if not for the new constitution !

I'd say , it's the Cory's constitution should be blamed for this . I'm not saying Marcos has nothing to do with this either . But changing the constitution for mostly personal gain is beyond me - if she was really fighting for DEMOCRACY . Changing the constitution was like pressing the reset settings on your Blackberry .

Most Filipinos are uneducated and lack of discipline . Corruption is all over every corner . Heck , my 18 year old cousin just bragged on Facebook that he just got a PROFESSIONAL DRIVER'S LICENCE from LTO ! Just when you thought only POLITICIANS are practicing corruption . Loooooool ...

The country lack laws and are too passive in terms of punishing dumb motorists . We have very risky business there like the "habal2x" , which both driver and passenger(s) don't have a helmet . We have small-buses that they think they're competing in the Indy 500 . When I went home to my province way back in 2007 , my trisikad driver was a 12 year old kid . You can get a licence without a written or a drive test if you know "someone working in the inside" . Are the police or agency responsible for road safety taking the issue seriously ?

We have these so-called "the masses" there who are mostly beyond poor and living in squatters . I know there are people in those category are working hard to make a living . But most of the population on the category , just sit back and wait for the government to provide foods - mostly near election time . That's why there's Juan Tamad , a character mocking to these people . They live in a squatters area , but when the land owner kick them out , they'll fight back like if it is between life and death and think are being oppressed because "they are poor" .

Most of them has 8+ children , that's why the country's poverty skyrocketed ! When the government introduced the RH Bill to educate these people about FAMILY PLANNING , SAFE *** and all , Catholic Church were the first one to protest and even gone overboard by threatening Noynoy for excommunication .

Are the taxpayers' money not enough to build housing projects all over the country ? Do we really have to depend on the government ? Do we really need the church's permission to pass laws , let alone believe everything they say ?

It's time to be independent , work yer ass off , and quit whining !!! Stop depending on your relatives abroad either !!!

Stop depending on your relatives abroad either !!!

Mao na diha run. Magtan-aw ka aning uban ba, ah kuyaw kaayo'g mga gadgets oi. Ipad-ipad pa nya starbucks-starbucks dayun. Piktyuran dayun ang Starbucks cup i-post sa Facebook para ingnon kunohay datu. Nindot kaayo'g mga cell phone mga latest gyud. Nya asa diay to gikan ang kwarta, pinada ra diay gikan abroad.

Nya ang kani taw'ng mga paryente nila nga si'g pada kwarta, mantinil lang ug cell phone nga gubaon, usahay di pa gani makakaon kay ang kwarta adto padung Pinas. Trabaho diri trabaho didto, wala na'y time sa kaugalingon. Nya kining mga taw sa atoa, patuyang lang gasto---tuo kaha sila sayun ang kinabuhi mag abroad.

Hehehe just sayin'.

^^^ imo this video made me realize how this country and its people lost everything. Media hype, oligarchy disguised as 'democracy', mass ignorance, poverty, etc. This could be just a portion of it, if not in general. It's a national epidemic.

To me, this video said it all. And of course, your thoughts still matter so post on!
