The reporter is a highly educated Filipino but confirms the terrible state of education in the Philippines.
AMEN and so much more. LOL making her patent excuses for the reporters now is so comical and typical.

i expect the daily flood of shame pouring into flips brains is enough to justify the overload that they experience.

enough to justify their never ending excuses for being who they are.

But many have managed to LEARN and become smarter. Many oversea workers have seen a different world outside of Philippines, they wonder why their homeland cannot be like the rest - Transparent, efficient, clean.......
The oversea workers is starting to realise that THEY are the ones having the power. They can DEMAND change. Being poor is not a crime, being ignorant is no excuse.

Why Filipinos so poor and Corrupt? Because they never think first? The problem is the way we think, the way we do is a mistake. So poor that when they have money, they go to store to buy alcohol or smoke or gambling instead of buying food for their family. some of them are corrupt that they want to buy all the things they want in just a day or 2. they are poor because they are not striving, they are always dependent to others.

The root of the problem lies with the people; within us, for it is we who elect our leaders not they themselves, it is we who have brought this upon our homes, and it is we who must change.
I have grown tired of looking out my window; staring into the eyes of the poor and starving, just as the rich and powerful walk by; heads held high in the clouds. I'm tired of the screams and shouts of the people for a new government, I'm tired of those who speek of change; do nothing of what they spoke of: Equality, and justice to all. I'm tired of this life My brothers and sisters have, and I wish them a better one, But wishes don't come true in this world; unless we act. So when the next election comes, please elect the leader who will represent us, not his bank account. For it has been in the hands of the people all along: the power, to correct our great terrible wrong. Elect wisely.

hardly dependable, they oppressed the opposition party, that's why they always get reelected.

If you want to talk about dependable party, it's the PAP of Singapore, that's what Malaysia should look like if BN hasn't been so corrupt. But ironically even PAP doesn't allow any opposition to challenge their position, even goes so far as to control all the media in the country. Their PM, same with Malaysia, father and son. but they're good leader, unlike my shithole country Malaysia, they're so small country but so rich.

Yep! you are keeping it up alright I also always knew someone stupid would say that. You got blind loyalty to those who put enema on your behind. You're just a lousy thinker yet that's all you could do.

Nice words but you can only vote for the official candidates and they are all corrupt. If a decent man comes forward to stand he will be killed to preserve the status quo for the rich.

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Capricorn

You're under a lot of pressure today, which makes you rather tetchy and tense. Even so, you should try to channel your nervous energy in constructive directions because then you'll achieve a tremendous amount. If you'll be seeing someone you fancy from afar, there will be plenty of sparks flying between you. But what do they mean?
