Your question is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long, but it is good. But, for all of your considerings, you have missed the two true underlying problems of the Philippines. It's not who to snuggle up with, or who did what, for what reason in the past. Or, any of the other stuff really, and i read your whole letter. The problem is this. Firstly, the Philippines has absolutely ZERO national unity. This is for several reasons. 1. The fact that there are 7,107 islands in this country. The sheer number of islands has helped to create many sub-cultures. 2. there are a hundred or more different dialects or languages in the country. There is not a single 1st world country on the planet that has more then just a few languages. The Philippines needs to have a common language nationwide, and it must be spoken by all the people. Just being taught it in school only to never use it in life is meaningless. 3. Corruption is soooo huge a problem, and has gone on for sooo long that most Filipinos don't even blink an eye over a major political scandal/scam/bribe. Filipino people have accepted this to be "acceptable" to them. 4. There is no one for Filipinos to look up to in govt. No Hero's to draw them together. The last one was Ninoy, and of course, he was murdered. 5. This is the one that bothers me the most, because if this country is ever to be built into a "nation united" it would have to start at this ground level. As a culture, Filipino people rarely help or work together with people outside of their family or social groups. They will also rarely give to those in need outside of those groups. Petty bickering, trying to "save face", haughty pride, and long standing disputes are very common among Filipino people. If this is the standard in the local community, how can it be expected that a nation can advance beyond theri differences? The second reason is that Filipinos put up with way to much incompetence. Incompetence from govt leaders, teachers(sorry but it is true), auto mechanics, doctors, etc,etc,etc...I am telling you unequivically, the Philippines will never be a 1st world nation until it holds people who they pay there money to, to a higher standard then what they do today. When someone does a bad job, or doesnt know how to do their job, or is in a position of leadership that they recieved as a result of a phone call from someone of influence to the hiring manager then it will never happen. Mediocrity breeds mediocrity. 1st world countrys are not mediocre, they are cutting edge. I know, I know, Filipinos dont like confrontation, they dont want to embaress someone who doesnt have a clue what their doing so that person doesnt lose face. Ok, that's fine. But, as long as saving face is more important then proper training and high standards, how can you really expect to leave 3rd world status. I wanted to say two other things to you. As you have probably already guessed i am a foreigner, from the USA(the truth is i am probably less fond of them then you are). I'm married to a pinay, with three daughters, and i live in Mindanao. If the Philippines was ever attacked by a foreign invader, i would not run to the airport to escape. I would run for my M4 and take aim. I choose to live in this country because i believe it is better then the USA, it has morals, and faith in God, and strong family ties. The other thing is i am as disgusted as you are by the way that light skinned Filipinos are glorified on TV. I am embarressed for a woman when i see her with all the white make up on her face, covering her natural skin. She does not realize how beutiful she is, and the advertising on TV promotes all these whitening products. I am lucky, my wife is brown skinned and wears no make up. Anyway, that is my take on things.
