....consider the most impovershed 85% of their population as "parasites"? As the biggest Filipino businesses cater mostly to foreign customers, they have no "need" to help their less fortunate countrymen. Politicians also ignore their constituents because most Filipinos are not able to pay income taxes to them, so thay see no need to service them in return. Both the Filipino pols and bizness people see no tangible "use" for these suffering masses so, together, they structure laws and policies that essentially disenfranchise the poor--which comprise the majority in the country. Ever notice how rich/powerful Filipinos and their families see right through poor people when they encounter outside their huge homes and restaurants? Poor people outnumber the rich by a 20 to 1 ratio, so it's heard to avoid them. Ever hear the rich daughter of a Fil-Chinese biznessman say how lazy and undeserving of opportunity the squatters are?
