Show all answers

BlackHat

1. Graft and Corruption.

2. Traditional Politicians. Look how many brother-sister, mother-son, etc. tandem we have from local government to the senate.

3. Geographical situation (archipelago or scattered islands). It's hard to manage the country.

1. Filipino people likes to blame others while not looking at themselves with faults. (lots of protest at Edsa but does not really help and that style is really getting really old).
2. The crab mentality of Filipinos, I'm sure filipiinos are good natured people but they get jealous fast also. Change the Bad Habit!
3. Every government in the world is corrupted in some ways, stop blaming the government and instead of always complaining, do something to make a change fro our country like not throwing your piece of rubbish on the ground geez, it may seem insignificant but big things start from small great things.

Keep moving forward fellow pinoys, its never to late for a change!

We, Filipinos. WE are generally apathetic politically, the onliy thing that one knows os that everyone in the govt is corrupt. The bad impression makes the investors leave. People are idiotic. They're regionalistic yet they're not ethnocentric. It's the culture, especially the minorities', hinders that prosperity.
Filipinos generally love their families more than the nation itself.

Corruption, the catholic church (which is corrupt), and overpopulation (and all of the little babies being made every day by people who cannot afford to suport a family)

1. The people.
They vote for personalities to run their government instead of the flatform of the candidate. In flatform, I mean the issues that are important to the candidates.
The people allow corruption. How? By giving bribes so that their documents or whatever should be process faster. If no one give any bribe or "presents" and reports corruption, then corruption would not be eradicated.

2. Corruption
This is not only contained in the government, almost everyone is susceptible to corruption.

3. Traditional politician and money politics.
If I have my way, I'll herd all the politician and throw then in Babuyan island. Most of them just promise but never delivered. They forget that the taxpayer are the ones who are paying them, thus they should serve the people. The people, in return must not show reverence to the politician, just respect as accorded to a government official.
