Oh God! Why are we Poor?


1.       The most common cry of all Filipinos – Corrupt Government officials. Much has been said about this subject matter. And do I still have to say something about it? Punyetang mga baboy na yan, wala pa akong nakitang politikong hindi baboy, hindi gago, hindi sakim at higit sa lahat hindi mukhang pera.
2.       Too much hospitality. Love your neighbors as you love yourself. Yeah right, we love them much that we’re willing to be their slaves even in our own country. But anyways, what I meant for too much hospitality is that the Philippine government spends an overwhelming amount of funds to accommodate these foreign dicks. I am not against the idea of entertaining and accommodating our guests properly, but can we just spend based on our ability to spend? Spend what you can only spend without sacrificing other services. There are lots of our poor countrymen that are in need of these funds. We spend much to show these foreign dicks that we aren’t poor? That we are capable of accommodating them like a five-star hotel? The reality is, the Philippines is a slum-area. The dirty, mud-filled, stinky-smell of the rivers, people sleeping on the streets, people killing other people to survive, people begging from  other people in order to eat, people enslaving themselves to foreign bastards just to have money. This is the Philippines, take it or leave it.
3.       Our love for imports. Now who does not want to own imported products? (I cannot name imported brands because, I don’t know them heck). The mentality of all imports is of good quality and all Philippine-made products are of lesser quality without thinking that when we buy locally-made products we are helping our dying economy. Helping our fellow pinoy businessmen. But do we care? Heck if we do. This problem is connected with Politics. We’ll talk about that later on.
4.       Education System. The present educational system we had teaches and urges us to be employees. Courses offered in different schools are somewhat not meant for our country. Courses that isn’t suited for our country. The Philippines in the first place is an agricultural country. But ask yourselves, anung patok na mga kuros ngayon? Engineering, IT, Nursing and etc. Are we giving a damn with agricultural courses? You may say, Oh c’mon who doesn’t wanna be an engineer? Who doesn’t wanna be a doctor? Or etcetera, gusto mo bang maging magsasaka?  What’s wrong with being a farmer? Who do you think planted the rice you’re eating on your plates?huh? The point is, of course we need these professions in order to progress but please let’s not forget agriculture. This is what’s missing for our progress. Why do I say so? About 20-30 years ago, Southeast Asian countries send their brightest scholars to study agriculture here in the Philippines, during that time we are one of that major rice exporters in the region. After studying, the scholars went back to their countries to apply what they had learned and focus more on agriculture and during that time also Philippines adapted and embraced western culture prematurely. Look at our Southeast Asian neighbors right now compared to us, any difference?
5.       Government System. Democracy. Freedom. Things that we shouldn’t have. Why do I say so? Look at your community, look at our country. We are infested with abusive, opportunist and selfish people. Mga punyetang abusadong gago. Parte na ng kulturang pinoy ang pagiging abusado, ang pagiging kulang sa disiplina.  We shouldn’t be enjoying this freedom. If this problem won’t be cured. Then we’re destined to be doomed.
6.       This is related to number 5. Attitude, Culture, Mentality and Religion. I will just cite some examples for this. One day millionaire. Crab-mentality. Pa-utang. Barrio Fiestas.


If you have something to add, feel free to comment. If you want to disagree, it’s ok we are entitled with our opinion. After all these are just my opinions. :3
