Does "Colonial Mentality" still loom in the Philippines?

Answer 1

just like before.. almost all growing countries still have the coloniual mentality.. indeed..

Answer 2

Yes, definitely. That's why more and more things in the media are in English. Everyone likes hearing the English language, even in soap operas in tv (they also seem to like Balikbayans in tv's a lot, you know "Sana'y Maulit Muli"?). Some people would rather buy something imported. People in the upper strata of society look down on the Filipino language. They think it's the language for slaves or something. That alone can prove that colonial mentality still loom in the Philippines. Another thing, most people don;t have a care about Filipino culture. Many of the youth today would laugh at it. And many people are desperate to migrate to another country.
