The Reason why the Philippines is poor
The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country:
This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt , that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor.
On the other hand, Canada , Australia & New Zealand , that 150 years ago were inexpressive, today are developed countries, and are rich.
The difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available natural resources.
Japan has a limited territory, 80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.
Another example is Switzerland , which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate in the world. In its little territory they raise animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce dairy products of the best quality! It is a small country that transmits an image of security, order &am! p; labor, which made it the world's strongest, safest place.
Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference.
Race or skin color are also not important: immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.
What is the difference then? The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education & the culture & flawed tradition.
On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:
1. Ethics, as a basic principle.
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. Respect to the laws & rules.
5. Respect to the rights of other citizens.
6. Work loving.
7. Strive for savings & investment.
8. Will of super action.
9. Punctuality.
10. and of course...Discipline
In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.
The Philippines is not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us. In fact, we are supposedly rich in natural resources.
We are poor because we lack the correct attitude. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich & developed societies.

Hi to all the members of this great website. Above is an article discussing why the Philippines is in such a bad shape. This was not written by me, but by a Filipino doctor living in Texas. Let this be some food for thought for you guys... I think this is absolutely true.

Re: The Reason why the Philippines is poor
great story... add lang me some facts... correct me if i'm wrong...
United States... has only 2 secretaries... 2 undersecretaries... pero maunlad silang bansa...
Europe... has only 2 secretaries... 4 undersecretaries... maunlad din sila...
Japan... has only 1 secretaries... 2 undersecretaries... maunlad din sila...
Philippines... 54 secretaries and 1 hundred plus undersecretaries... pero bakit mahirap pa rin tayo...
pakitama na lang kung mali...
at saka... CORRUPT government po kasi tayo... from the smallest officials to the highest officials... from BARANGAY TANOD to PRESIDENT of the Philippines... eh may corruption...
yan lang ata ang word na talagang we FOLLOWS...
singapore dapat ang example... singapore has no known natural resources pero maunlad na bansa sila... kasi wala o kaunti lang mangurakot... bansa muna at konting sa bulsa lang... sa atin BULSA muna bago bansa... ghaaaaaayyyyy....
heheheheheheh... :D:D:D

Re: The Reason why the Philippines is poor
that was nicely explained
sad to say but that's the truth
and people who live or has been abroad for quite a time (like you) would easily understand
but what makes a country poor is really the people who lives there
anyway i wanna share a story that my mom tells :]
HOW GOD MADE THE PHILIPPINES! !
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was
missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting
on the seventhday.
He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly
pointed downwards
through the clouds, "Look,Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call
it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth.
"For example,
Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and
wealth, but cold and harsh
while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant."
"I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands parched
deserts."
"This one will be extremely hot, while this one will
be very cold and covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed
to a group of Islands and said, "What are those?"
"Ah," said God. "That's the Philippines, the most
glorious place on earth.
There are beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and
forests.
The people from the Philippines are going to be
handsome, modest,
intelligent and humorous and they are going to be
found traveling the world.
They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high
achieving and they
will be known throughout the world as carriers of peace and love."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then
proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance.
"
God replied wisely,"Wait until you see the idiots I designated as their leaders."

Re: The Reason why the Philippines is poor
Know what I hate? Mga tambay sa kanto (let's call 'em TSKs) who don't even give an effort para paunlarin buhay nila. Tapos everyday habits pa nila yosi, alak, mangholdap and whatever pathetic activities you can think of... Then ang lakas pa ng loob nilang iridicule ka pag dadaan ka lang na di na nga sila pinapansin.
I found it hard not to use the 'f' and the 'p' word a few times writing this post...

Re: The Reason why the Philippines is poor
Gusto ko lng pong sabihin na hindi lamang government officials ang corrupt. Minsan pati mga jeepney drivers, minsan mga kabataan din. Sa mga school puro CHEATING, hanggang paglaki, dala ang ganung ugali... Hindi lang po gobyerno ang may problema, stop blaming the government for everything btw wala aqng kamaganak na government officials ah, at wala din aqng balak na maging ganun...at saka... CORRUPT government po kasi tayo... from the smallest officials to the highest officials... from BARANGAY TANOD to PRESIDENT of the Philippines... eh may corruption...
Minsan po, naisip ko, parang anung karapatan kong magreklamo kung wala din naman aqng nagagawang mabuti sa bansa natin. Why should I blame the corrupt when I'm idle
Re: The Reason why the Philippines is poor
i think the same is true kung bakit hindi "umuunlad" ang forum site na ito.

I agree with that essay Mat posted.
And why do we always blame the government? Yes, our government has problems, but look around you (within this country), walk outside and observe. Look at the people near the pedestrian lane or those crossing, watch the traffic lights, watch TV, listen to the radio, etc. You will see that its not just the government, its us, mga pinoy. Its the filipinos in this country that made our country like this. Filipinos raging from government officials to normal citizens. And yet we blame one another, government officials blame other government officials, citizens blame the government. We keep on blaming one another. Just look at us!

Our country has no more hope... hay sad to say parang wala na tayong pag-asang makaahon sa hirap... But anyway look at the bright side... baka may mahalal na matinong presidente na kakatakutan ng mga tao para maging disiplinado muli ang bansa parang noong panahon ni dating pangulong Marcos... pero kung walang magaling na pinuno...hay... lipat na lang tayo ng bansa...pero kung gusto lang ng mga taong talikuran ang bansa dahil sa mukha na itong walang pag-asa, mas lalong babagsak ito...
