A Possible Reason Why Philippines is Lagging Behind

[badequation]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Dragonei.

I think what you are trying to point out is yung excessive "dependence" nating mga pinoy, parang lagi na lang tayong umaasa sa mga grasyang darating. May mga magagandang side din ang close family ties kasi source of happiness din naman ang mga kamag-anak natin. Ang hindi lang maganda is *** nakakaugalian natin na iasa na lang lahat sa magulang o kamag-anak natin ang lahat ng problema. Kung baga, di man lang natin subukang lutasin mag-isa ang problema.

Kaya, I agree na dapat tayo mismo ang kumikilos. Naniniwala ako na "majority of things happening in our lives are due to our own actions and inactions."

Anyway, I would like to share with you an article that may give explanation as to why innovations lag behind in developing countries such as our country:

A Damaged Culture, New Philippines? 1987 pa sinulat yung article

^Interesting.

So ibig sabihin, nothing has changed much since then.

Hanggang ngayon kasi, we can say that we are still "Damaged". I hope everyone will do their part in this society. Marami kasi sa atin yung tipong sisi lang ng sisi sa iba.

Remember the saying that if you point your finger to someone 3 are pointing back to you.

I just want to open up this topic to get more insights.

I've read an article: The Philippines Should Take It from the Great Learning

And it states that:

I, myself, agree with this, but I want to gather and develop more insights regarding this.

1. What are your personal opinion regarding why Philippines is lagging behind in terms of economic progress and development?

2. What is hindering us in achieving what neighboring countries are achieving?

This is also one of the most striking statements of the article for me:


And this one really made me think, that the author has a point.

I want to hear from you guys.

1. Gipit masyado ang mga importers/exporters/traders/corporations and other businesses na walang suporta ng gobyerno. Too much corruption, madaming govt.agencies, daming partylist at palpak na judiciary system ang daming nasasayang na oras at panahon sa pagproseso ng papeles. napanood mo na ba yung history ni mao tse tung?

2. Yung religion/chr dito nakikialam pa sa government natin, nung time ni marcos, tahimik lang yan, maunlad tayo.

Medyo pansin ko nga. And sadly, kung sino pa yung mga nasa-pwesto sila pa minsan ang walang disiplina. (e.g. sila rin ang lumalabag sa batas at mga karapatan)

I agree with you on "madaming party list". Karamihan pa rito walang "focus". Kumbaga, they often don't know what they stand for. Kung ano ang "uso" un *** ipaglalaban nila, something like that.

Di ko pa napapanood yung kay Mao Tse Tung? Pwedeng pashare ng overview?

I agree with "some". And, I'm not pretty sure, kung saan aspect yung tinutukoy mo. Hehe! Saan nga ba?

I really hope everyone's fine despite the intense rain.

I hope na kahit man sa bayanihan hindi tayo mag-lag. Let's all pray for everyone's safety!

Ang daming makasarili lalo na politicians natin kaya imbes na bayan ang isipin, iniisip ang pag lago ng pera sa banko
