Many Filipinos are jailed abroad for overstaying, some stayed under bridges in other countries just to find a place in the sun!
Being recorder of events for decades now, in the area where I have not seen as many jealous people as it has who will do anything to pin you down, deceive you, tell all lies about you and even wanted you killed slowly but softly with crab mentality abound like mushrooms scattered all over, has some sort of awakening experience to me.
Ergo, I do now have reasons in the whole context of Philippine setting gives me an impression based on the personal experiences why we Filipinos are a great failure.
Why we as a country miserably failed.
One, Filipinos attitude of crab-mentality and too much jealous with fellow Filipinos that instead of helping, we pin other Pinoys down especially when we cannot control him or her. However when Filipinos are in other countries, we are as silent and behave as a lamb though some show their real characters as Filipinos.
The reason why some of us ended up in jail due illegalities, drug smuggling in foreign countries.
Two, we are not united as people. We lack patience for national unity that every time our ego attacked we shy away and worst we formed another group.
Three, we have not produced leaders until now that has patience to unite and inspire us all, Instead and unluckily we elected leaders who only after in their personal interests, greed and pride.
And because, in the whole context everything is affected by our unique characters, our media is just the same, also full of politicking, personal interests and motivation and therefore reporting full of half truths.
Look, the Maguindanao massacre where a number of journalists (kuno) were killed until now there is no resolution of the cases.
Fourth, our agriculture sector has not yet been developed despite of availability of modern technology. Thus, left in the farms and far flung areas are old, weary farmers whose sons and daughters are in urban areas trying to seek greener pastures but only ended up in misfortunes after misfortunes. When they return to their barrios, some are already impregnated adding population of the Philippines.
Fifth, our educational system defective as ever does not make our students critical thinkers, creative, productive, innovative but still slavery in their minds.
Sixth, because we are not enlightened individuals because we lack knowledge and information due defective educational system, our justice system tainted with so much inequality and injustices that hounds Filipinos especially the poor until this very day.
Seventh, and because of all these problem contributed much to our poverty, we sell our votes and so corruptions by the people who buy our votes continue thud real basic services in the government is nowhere to be found. The vicious cycle of poverty continues thus miseries of the Filipino people continue.
Can we overcome all these? Not in my life time and in the kind of attitude we have now among youths, never in my wildest dreams this country becomes great.
I had friends whose parents walked by kilometers during their days. Can the youths of today do that? Youths of today not only lack of discipline and independence to stand u[ on their own are into vices too like illegal drugs and all kinds of vices one can't imagined.
Are they really the future of this country as what Gat Jose claimed? Never in my wildest dream. All we can do now is just pray.
