....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?

There is no twisting of the truth here. My opinion is, to me, really an honest high-level assessment of an oft-ignored or denied condition(s), which affects the lives (and causes the deaths) of millions of essentially helpless people.

I know of these topics deeply. I'm an American throughout, but I lived many years there I can speak their language. and also I hanged out with the politicians/actors and the sheltered weatlthy. I know what I'm talking about.

My Q/A'a here are my simple attempts to spur people into action, or at least into a realization mode, to fix serious problems.

I DO WORK FOR ONE OF THE LEADING HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WORLD. Even someone like you would be able to recognize the organization--should I choose to reveal its name.

How about you? Where do you work? What do you do? Are you making a difference to the country right now? Or you just indulging yourself? I can tell you cant even write a single sentence in english properly.

even if you belong to the lowest of the poorest, if you pay your taxes promptly, you can voice out those oppression.
they are only classified as parasites because they don't pay taxes as expected, seek all government assistance, complain a lot when the government "neglect" them, and then vote for the opponents of the administration that provided them social welfare assistance.

Most people only help a limited number of others. There are so many poor. But, there is no reason to vilify the rich just as there is no reason to call the poor parasites.

Poor people can be Parasite, true and agreeable.

But rich businessmen and politicians are Predators!

Parasites are just getting what they need in order to survive. Predators are just being greedy!
