seems you have a batle in here... whoever tries to help filipino will just be disapoited coz all of those help will go into the politician's pocket.. its a waste of money to help when you know it wont actually help those who are in needs...lets not blame the colonialization coz almost all countries experience those..lets blame 1st, the govt., 2.) the catholic church & 3.) th parents of these poor little children
PHIL ranked 50th of the world,s cleanest countries, second cleanest in southeast asia next to singapore in 2010.. now, why are almost all of videos here in youtube about the Philippines only shows its dirtiest place? c'mon that's only 1% of the country's place..manila isn't the lone city of PHIL ..ignorant envious haters
The family has a high regard for family! Much closeness and concern for other family members. Laid back life style, relaxed and paced! This is something I have a high regard for! I prize this fact. When in the Philippines I told many people how lucky that are to have this very rich value that has been lost in much of the U.S. Where they are poor we are rich, but where they are rich we are poor! From the husband of one very wonderful wife! Alan
about the neo-colonialism, we need to see, problems are mirroring.
my idea is, the western world needs visit not by OFW only but by intellectuals that I would call Rizal 2.0, and many more than one.
this time, to teach westerners about the work and perceptions of original jose, and then talk with the western dissidents and oppositions about new ideas, like happened in the past, but now the cultural influence has to be bidirectional.
this is because a very similar problem is going to ruin europe.
@dickswinger86 How can that be the answer if those babies can't even go to school? That's the problem with our country from the very beginning, the lack of education.
pinoy ako alam ko na ang pilipinas ay mahirap na bansa ngunit pinagmamalaki ko na akoy pinoy dahil sa dugo at lahi ko eh nakilala ako na masipag at matiyaga sa trabaho khit mahirap nakakaya ntin bansa sama sama
Corrupt politicans protect the domestic corporations because they get under money or grease from them. That's why they create these stupid laws there to keep foreign companies out and benefit the domestic companies. The problem is no country can do it all, most need foreign investments to grow, like Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China..etc. Some how these knockle heads don't understand, they only understand their own corrupt ass pockets. Then they wonder why most jobs went to Thailand & Vietnam.
Lets just say I use to be a investor in Philippines and after seeing what happened to friends and people I know get completely ripped off I completely rethought about my plans of investing in the Philippines. The laws protecting foreign investment interests are just nil to none there, so who would want to invest, it is like suicide. Otherwise it would have created quite a few jobs which mean might take some people out of poverty and get an education.
this is the poor parts of the philippines but this is nothing compared to the life i live in , We live in the city of manila with a mansion with all the things you could think of inside and about the next 20 streets have massive houses, the phillipines is not just poverty you know! its more rich than poor!
Even though we are a poor nation our people will always be happy God looks over the Phillipines he knows we are in poverty but we filipinos are never sad and never dipressed because we have God in our hearts
the reality is there isnt enough jobs . I moved to cebu to build a business to export. the min wage here is 7000 i pay 16000. the government made it so hard for me to setup i almost gave up. I employ just over 30 people. Emagine if there was a better government not dictaded by the church. I find philos dont have any ballz to stand up.
wow why this videos are focusing on filipinos that are illegaly squatters in luzon areas. instead of making these videos you should encourage most illegal squatters to move back to their respected province land where they have homa land and abundant foods. you should encourage all province people to stop admiring filipinos that are naturally born in manila long time ago
I now understand why my parents took me away from philipines. It's bcos it's a poor country and they want me to go to a good school but the thing they don't understand is that I'm happier in phillipines than In Canada. I miss my relatives and neighbors in the Philippines , it's so hard to forget all the great and happy moments in the Philippines. God bless philipines especially the homeless and others suffering...:(
@angietheboo went through the same thing... its hard to leave the people who have been part of my life for 13 years... i remember making plans with my friends whenever we have to go to college... how we decided to live in one apartment and make schedules to hang out.. then my parents told me were leaving... i miss my life their.. and someday i might go back and spend most of my time there..
@angietheboo I understand how you feel Im Filipino-American I have relatives here in America but they live father away so they never come to visit me and I live with only 3 other people the only thing that keeps me busy here is video games, T.V, and this computer. But when we go to the Philippines to visit my relatives there I share a house with 8 other people and my other relatives there live closer so they visit me every day I might not have alot of things to do but my family is better that.
The Roman Catholic Church is stupid. I mean, I can talk, I'm Roman Catholic, I love God and all but I think that the Roman Catholic Church should piss off of politics and stick to religion. Sure it says to be fruitful and mulitply but come on...THAT WAS LIKE BILLIONS OF YEARS AGO when God first made this world. Now, the Earth is overpopulated and the poor needs some education on making babies.
its sad to see children on the streets and people who don't have enough money to sustain their daily needs. Philippines is # 2 when it comes to natural resources, now I, myself can't think of many reasons why do Filipinos still experience poverty. Blame on government for being corrupt? or blame everyone.
Thank God for christians, christians take care of the poor, I helped hundreds of children in the Philippines, they don't even have flip flops, I gave 67 flip flops I was always feeding the poor in some establishments like Kentucky fried chicken they would not let the street kids in, so I would just walk out and go to Jolly Bee or a Shakti. An amazing thing hapened I went 2da slums and found some kids gave 'em flipflops and invited them 2 sign up 4 christian school and they all where sponsored!!!
@jenny1801 Only God is good, we do what we can to be like Jesus, Jesus will say: I was naked and you clothed me not, I was hungry and you did not feed me... I hope I am one of the ones he will say, I was hungry and you fed me... ANYTHING you did for anyone you have done it to me.
@jenny1801 We must work together and make a difference, I am only one person andI have helped hundreds of people if we all did our part this world would be a better place. That's shy we have to preach the gospel for more pople to be christians and make a difference in this world
@jflayva That is why the gospel must be preached, people do not care for people but when people meet Jesus their lives change and they start learning how to love and they care for people and they sacrifice even their lives to help humanity. And that is why we give up everything and help all those around us. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies and to do good to ALL!!! Jesus is the way the Truth and the life.
The door is closing now on Filipino's coming to Europe. We have a new government in the UK and times have changed. It will be very hard for unskilled workers to come here now. It is time that you took action and stopped letting these big Chinese blood families ruine your country. Good luck Filipinos, the future is yours, take it with both hands!
HIndi ko masisisi ang nangaapi, kasi maraming pinoy BAHALA NA BUKAS attitude? Nangaling din ako sa hirap, nangungupahan, hindi nakatapos ng college, walang ama? Pero hindi ko HINAYAAN ganoon na lang ako? Me AMBISYON ako at ginawa ko lahat, nagaral ako ng libre sa vocational schools? Nakapagtrabaho sa ibang bansa, at ngayon nandito na naninirahan sa America? Sino magsasabi walang asenso sa pilipinas... MGA TAMAD ! Iyong mga barkada ko hangan ngayon tambay pa rin, tapos maiingit suerte ko daw?
tama ka, walang kasing tumpak ang sinabi mo.nuong nasa pinas ako at sa probinsya ay nagtatanim ako ng gulay sa bakuran pero mga kapit bahay puro hingi at ayaw magtanim gayong maraming lupa na maaaring taniman,kaya ang iba ayaw na mag tanim. pag di ka nagbigay masama ka.
We in the United States go all out for disasters that happen all over the world. We send money, food, medicine,clothes etc. When the typhoons happened in the Philippines not much was done to help them. That really upset me. So i just wanted to say my part. I think the government let them down.
i always wanted my country (Philippines) to be like USA, always helping other countries in times of need... but how can we? we're like the poorest of the poor..
don't you know that I am a filipino and I have suffered here without food we are poor and my life is bad there, includong with my brothers and sisters. I don't have much survival skills,and just to prove I am pilipino, I speak visaya. Dili mo kabalo na sakit kaayo tanan kami na wala balay.
Your reasoning is out of the context of neo-colonoalism. Do you really understand this subject? Just to remind you please control your emotion and avoid using F word in your reply, it won't help to resolve the problem in the Philippines. I respect your belief and what you have done for the Filipinos but be gentleman and reply only to this subeject. Is that alright?
hey, cool down, I never mentioned about your personal or thing about you, I am commented the real issue and based on facts on this video, If you telling me I am marixst: I AM NOT!
this is the product of western colonialization for the last 500 years and until now. you can see the background and surroundings of the this video: neo-colonialism
@rcephuk, neo-colinialism has brought Philipinos some systems that if leveraged across a wider swath of the population may be able to eradicate poverty. More should have been done by the colonial powers, I agree, but in 2010 I would say that they need to immediately get the Internet to as many as possible and for FREE educate as many as possible to the level of a bachelors degree to bootstrap the country to compete globally.
The desire of wealthy nations to control other nations' values and perceptions through cultural means, such as media, language, education and religion, ultimately for economic reasons are all the root of neo-colonialsm in the Philippines....
#1 I want you to understand I love the Philippine people, ok. So if you think I have any other intent get your f*king head out of your mthrf*king ass. #2, I did not say that neo-colonialism did not exist. What I said was, "neo-colinialism has brought Philipinos some systems that if leveraged across a wider swath of the population may be able to eradicate poverty." What I suggest is that you take what they brought and make hay with it,. not lemons.
@rcephuk just so you understand #1) I may end up marrying a Filipina, #2) I DO Filipino Martial Arts.with the founders of the art in the USA and #3) am on a committee in the USA to propagate FMA across the globe. If I ever make a billion I will spend all of it but for 20 to 50 million (that I will save for myself) on the Philippino people to get them out of poverty. I will set up systems to teach them through the bachelors degree online for FREE. I am interested in raising the people.
@rcephuk what I was implying was that the colonial powers could have gone ANYWHERE, but they came to your location. Wherever they DID NOT GO, is still a jungle or desert so get your Marxist mindset straight. Western civilization and neo-colonialism was not 100% bad... if you have some other hateful agenda maybe you need to see the light.
the fils are poor,yes.evry1 i meet wants money,yes.but a dangerous place,no.walk around n e big city in the states at 3AM and see what happens!people in asia are civilized compared to North America and Europe!FACT!N e 1 can get robbed n e where,but Asia is safer than just about n e where else in the world!Poverty sucks evry1 knows that!
The faces of the children is so touching my heart the way of Live in the future ! . A good education is the way to change. Dont ever and compare to other country friend ..where we have the richer and the poor. May god bless the way of our live in this world
That's exactly the sad part. You can count the best places to go but poverty is all over the place. It's an epidemic. And thel government is not doing anything about it. So we need to create awareness and perhaps get some support from people who made a better life for themselves.
if you come to the philippines my first word of advice to anyone is,...DON"T TRUST ANY OF THEM. Period. They're only interested in one thing when it comes to a foreigner. His money. Stay to yourself and your family. And if you marry a filipino, don't even trust the family. Hell don't trust the girl ur marrying for a couple years. Just be smart.
I'm sorry. It sounds like you had a bad experience. But you can't stereotype based on your bad experience. Most Filipinos are kind and have a big heart.
lol,...-Written by a white guy- Oh really? I just watched Manny pacman fight with my -white guy friend- ..lol and we were just discussing how you have to be smart here because filipinos are out for cash. On the US Embassey's website they have over 5 thousand cases and stories of foreigners getting ripped off, waking up in alleys after drinking with filipino strangers, all sorts of horrific stories. Point is, EVERY foreigners gets taken for a ride at this zoo if he's not smart.
false fact? Dumbass i'm an expat in the philippines. Plus i have a family member that works for the embassey. Its a national website. Anyone can look it up. Go to the website moron and look at the warning section for American citizes. the most dangerous places for Americans. philippines is listed as No.1 -5 depending on when you go. I'm not here to serve you by giving you the name of a link that is a national site you can look up on your own. What do i look like? A malaysian?
Be smart, no need to treat filipinos like they don't have hearts. You never know. Filipinos theirselves were not always the reason of why they're being poor today, do you even know the history of the Philippines? do you even know how some Countries treated Philippines? Please read a book or an article.
i feel sooo sorry for the phillipines but there was this one guy who was going out with me and we where dating but he scammed me so he could have my money and didnt really love me
The only thing i can say is take this bad experience and turn it into something positive. As far as the guy you were dating... don't worry he will get what he deserves down the road. Best wishes.
masyado na mang nakaka desperate yan,sana magsumikap tayo instead na ipakita kung gano ka miserable dyan,we need work hard,wala naba tayong pride para i post to?
My pride is not the issue here. I posted the video because most people do not see the problem. Apparently you don't. We can't be blind about what's going on in our country. We need to make others aware and perhaps they can offer support. You should do the same.
i don´t understand this video, it appears to be a documentary on misery, blight, overpopulation. when i went back to PI my first impression after seeing swarms of young kids was, this country seriously needs population control - too few internal resources for so many inhabitants - meaning crisis in all its manifestations
No doubt the PI has a huge poverty problem, and its much exacerbated by rapidly exploding population, but it is still a great country with some of the most generous people that I have ever met. I think this video does a reasonable job of depicting what the country looks like once you get away from the malls and the financial centers.
Jerry thanks for your positive remarks. As a group, we can create something positive and help out the kids to have a better future. With collective efforts, we can make a big difference in saving lives.
CALLING ALL FILIFINO'S ABROAD: Let us ALL unite as ONE, by helping the poor in OUR beloved country the Philippines. "WE cannot do everything BUT WE can do something. Let's start with OUR own Barangay first, then if WE can? extend...LET US break the "cycle of poverty" by giving 1 child(s) an education and educations in FAMILY PLANNING. "SO, LET'S START WITH 1, THEN MAYBE 2...WE cannot help them ALL, BUT WE CAN MAKE SOME BIG DIFFERENCE IN 1 CHILD(S) LIFE "NEVER FORGET WHERE U COME FROM! GOD BLESS
Very good video man! It also brings back so much memory to my BELOVED CEBU CITY! Yes!, "WE" can only thank GOD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND HIS SON LORD JESUS CHRIST, for allowing our parents an opportunity, so WE the children can have a better LIFE!!! Yes, thanks MUM!!! And also, happy mothers day to all the mothers outhere!!! GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES AND GOD BLESS AUSTRALIA AND GOD BLESS THE WORLD!!!
If you're in a position to help a child, you should consider it. It only takes a dollar a day to make a difference in someone's life. Who knows, that child you save today can SAVE the country tomorrow.
kaya kayong mga tao dyan!, sa halip magkantutan lang dyan sa banig magdamag!, eh...maghanap nalang kayo ng magagandang trabaho hindi ba?, marami naman dyan eh...
at kayo naman mga pare at politico...masyado kayong O.A!, ano naman ang masama sa CONDOMS at pills?,...gawa ng gawa ng malalaking simbahan, nangrerape naman ng mga bata!, Putak dito putak doon, puro ka balastugan kayong mga letsugas kayo!,
ikaw ren balasubas ka!, kung wala kang magawa at gusto mo ilantad ang mga hinaing mo eh, hwag dito TANGA!, doon ka sa gitna ng Ortigas!, hayun magpatintero ka doon! hahaha
Kevin, instead of degrading your own countrymen, you should try to help and save a child's life. Who knows... the child you save today can SAVE the country tomorrow.
people shouldn't always blame their governments blaming corruption as the culprit of poverty... corruption is everywhere in the world but will for each and everyone will be the motivating power towards economic progress. If all works hand and hand... would have a better grip than with that of only a few... cheers...
It is the government's fault. Do you realize, even when you try to offer help, you must go through a politician who will take cut before you can do anything. Corruption is the biggest problem. If we are in a position to help, we should save a child today and who knows, that some child can SAVE the country tomorrow.
@sneakyfe My uncle used to be in the construction business and he said that to win a construction project, i.e., building roads, 25% of the bid goes back to the congressman of that district. It's an unspoken rule and If you don't abide by it, chances are, you won't be "winning" any of that district's construction projects.
@geepeeone yeah its totally corrupt over there and it's very unfortunate. what's worse is that majority of the entertainers are getting into politics to get a piece of the action.
@geepeeone Looks like even domestic corporations have a hard time surviving the corrupt environment. Well, at least you don't have to deal with stupid ass foreign corporation investment laws and the slow ass corrupt government functions to get licenses to go through. No wonder it takes you guys forever just to finish the construction on the highway that goes directly to the airport and south Luzon highway. If I am not mistaken it is still in construction after 10-15 years of doing nothing.
@edpannewyork I disagree, corporations create jobs but when these crooks in the Philippine government create totally stupid laws to squeeze money out of foreign corporations to benefit their own pockets most foreign corporation won't invest in Philippines. Plus lack of laws to protect foreign corporation investments in the Philippines makes the investment environment even worse. No foreign investment no jobs in the Philippines, thus high levels of poverty and low levels of education as a result.
@Veilside1000HP it seems to me that you have a full of knowledge and has the recipe to solve your country's problem towards poverty.. why don't you be the president and solve that problem the posting it here in youtube?.. am sure if you apply your knowledge to solve your poverty.. it could have been so different by then.. cheers
@edpannewyork I am not saying it will solve all the poverty problems but it will lessen the severity of it. Well, if you know in Philippine only the top political family people gets to be president, even if you have a chance of beating them you'll probably get shot before you get elected, it happens all the time during elections. I am not Filipino, I just invest in Philippines but after years of headaches I pulled out and moved away from that crap hole run by bunch of corrupt monkeys.
@Filbisaya i also agree.this crippling corruption is also stopping foreign investment,which would create the jobs that would ease the poverty.Every one gets screwed by there actions.even business.
well kahit san bansa may mahirap po,nagkataon marami tyo kaya marami din mahihirap,,kung sino pa yung mahirap marami anak kasi walang work,walang libangan si nanay at tatay kundi gumawa ng bata,,hala humayo kayo at magpakarami..at magpakahirap at mamatay na lang sa hirap...sana magising tayooo...
i really like this Video...nami mis ko Pilipinas! kahit mahirap ang buhay...masaya at nakangiti pa rin mga bata....masarap kc kasama ang mga mahal sa buhay...thanks for sharing po.
Hi, if you're in a position to help a child you should consider it. It only takes a dollar a day to make a difference in a child's life. Who knows that child you save today can SAVE the country tomorrow.
@jemjapan Oo nga,., and that's the most beautiful of d pinoys,., ang mga mas dukha tao sa Pilipinas, they look like d most happy nd kind.,., I'm from Nederland, Europe, but ito ay ang dahilan that I luv d philippines so much.,
The booming population can be controlled but the government is shackled by the Roman Catholic Church. The country is in the business of sending migrant workers across the globe but the economy progress slowly and only benefits most of the large companies and corporations, the wealth is not widely spread. It's about time the country need an honorable good leader who can make a real change and guide the country to a positive direction.
I agree. But unfortunately, we will not see any progress in the near future. If you're in a position to help a child today, you should consider it. It only takes a dollar a day to make a difference in a child's life. Who knows, that child you save today can SAVE the country tomorrow.
The Filipinos are running themselves to the ground by having corrupt officials and cronies in the government who are only looking after their own self interests instead of providing the citizens tools to succeed in the society. So many areas need to be addressed and the first thing the govt say is lack of funds. There's enough but it's being spent unwisely, the country can get a loan from the World Bank but the country has a bad track record on corruption.
Tang ina proud pa rin akong maging Filipino kahit tumira ako sa ibang bansa akin tong lupaing ito ng Luzon putang ina ninyong mga WHITE SUPREMACIST. mag iicip Chino o anumang bansa ako pero hindi ko itatanging Filipino ako dahil akin ANG KARAPATAN sa pagmamayari ng lupain ko get it! Wag nyo abandonahin ang mga karapatan nyo yun lang, sumama kayo kay gloria papuntang amerika ok.
Pilipinas hahay BASURA talaga ang bansang yan gusto ko sa America na lang tumira at maging naturalize American dahil may mapapala pa ako doon eh d2 wala eh paano basura kasi ang bansang to.Sana di naging bansa ang Pilipinas at sinakop na ito ng tuluyan ng Amerikano o Hapon siguro gaganda pa ang buhay ng mga taong nakatira dyan.Dapat i renounce nyo na lang pagka-Pilipino nyo dahil nakakahiyang maging Pinoy ngayon dahil basura at maid ang tingin sa atin.HAHAHA.Yan ba ang dapat nating ika proud.
philippine government is full of shit all they do is lie to the people and full of promises they should be hang or line em up and firing squad all of them our filipino people doesnt deserve this but its seems like most of the poor people are voting bcoz of bribes that are given to them its all about the money,greed and corruption
The Philippines is a country that could have been. It has great potential, but the nation is gripped politically by the powerful Catholic church. It pretty much has to approve all government laws passed behind closed doors. There is rampant out of control population explosion that has the blessing of the Church despite government attempts to control it. Only an official declaration of SECULARISM can the country survive. Puritanical ideologies must be adopted while dropping Catholic work ethics
Xake19 ikaw ang tunay na Filipino. Tama ka oras na para sa Secularismo upang umunlad bansa natin laban sa makalumang isip Catholicismo ng imperialistang Vaticano.
Both our Philippine government officials & majority of the filipinos are to blame.Government graft & corruption & not enforcing reproductive health bill resulting of population booming were the main reason of mass poverty.But only if a self impose by the couple itself adopting one child policy like I do,& I'm sure we filipinos can,poverty in our country will reduce in the future and may enhance better standard living to each of everyone. Believe me, adopting one child policy is the solution.
Sa mga susunod pang dekada ay lalo pang maghihirap ang Pinas ng dahil sa pagdami ng tao.Kailangan ngayon palang ay masolusyonan na ang problema sa pagdami ng populasyon.
Numero uno na sa Guiness Book of world record ang Pinas sa pinaka maraming murder at pinaka maduming katubigan.
Philippines: The only Catholic & English speaking country in Asia. a big LOL
Korea ,China, Japan non Catholic & non English speaker w/ economy better than the US.
Korea, China, Japan better than US? Google the per capita income of this countries and compare that to the US. The US is the only remaining superpower in the world. In spite of recession(economic slowdown) we are still rich. We just don't want spend our money. The economy of Japan, Korea and China depend on the US. If we don't buy their goods, they get mess up. IF THE US GET A COLD, THE REST OF THE WORLD GET PNEUMONIA.
More than 10 trillion dollars na ang utang ng US sa world bank.Bukod pa dyan ang budget deficit.Hindi mo lang halatang mahirap ang US kasi nga ay malinis,maganda at nangangalaga sa kalikasan.Kahit mahirap na neighborhood katulad ng mobile home parks ay may tubig ,kuryente at telepono at lahat ay nasa ayos. Sa Pinas ay kailangan mo pa na bumili ng property sa Ayala Alabang,corinthian gardens,Bonifacio Global city o lakeshore para mo ma appreciate ang kagandahan ng subdivision.
hehe parang ok pa Buddhism at Protestantismo when it comes to economy, look at South Korea = Protestant dominated, Japan = Buddhism, Pinas gising na mula sa religion ng mga pasistang vaticano asus!
Tama ka jan.May kasabihan pa ang mga Katoloko na "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" pero hindi naman nakikita sa katotohanan.Ang Pilipinas ay isa sa may pinaka maduming ilog,dagat at lawa sa buong mundo,ilog pasig.manila bay at laguna lake)Isa sa mga bansang may pinaka maraming slum areas.Mga basurang "open pit" system at walang sewage treatment plant.
The Spanish influence can be seen in Latin and South America. Whenever religion plays a big part, especially when it penetrates politics, mostly negative things become the end result. Look at religion's influence in the muslim world - same result. Look at the progress of socieities where religion does not play a big part - china, korea, japan, singapore, europe, u.s.
Ang japan ,China at Korea ay mas maunlad kaysa sa Pilipinas na hindi na colonized ng Espana at US.Mas patriotiko at mas nangangalaga sa kalikasan.Mas may delikadesa at less corrupt.
The Philippines is a country of could have been. It's destruction started when Catholicism was introduced in the country by the Spaniards. It has strangled progress to its very foundation. This attitude of "I'll just pray and see/watch" is rampant in the country. Buddhist immigrants in the country (Chinese/Koreans) have helped the economy, but unless the country rids of Catholicism in the politics, it will go nowhere. They need Puritanical work ethics like in the US.
Thank You! I believe that is exactly what is needed as well. The government, don't get me wrong, has made attempts to better things, however sad and insignificant, but until the religion is disentangled from the politics, nothing is gonna' happen. Thank you for "separation of church and state".
Ban the church from politics. Give out free condoms, free vasectomies, free planned parenthood lessons to the poor. The Church must stop telling the peasants to have as much sex as they want without condoms or other birth control means. Declare unilateral SECULARISM. Then and only then can progress from this out of control population explosion be controlled.
dude. man, we're on the same page here. Next thing you know the Philippines is gonna' be the next Africa. There's gonna' be an epidemic of HIV or other STDs, not to mention the rampant births that are already occuring, and that'll just be another problem on top of the whole list of problems they already have. They also need to fix their divorce policy. I know that you bind yourself to someone in the Catholic religion, but when they start beating you, you have to save yourself. right?
This is a great video no matter what others say, Im a Filipino guy and felt deeply for these people (which doesnt happen often) living in poverty, NYCOLOMBIAN91 is right about these people happier than the average, i just left there from vacation and these people made me want to stay there forever!
zeefempire1, welcome and thanks to your good remarks. in any place, people like you abound and hope you prosper and be with us in Philippines, Malaysia is a nice country too; been there before and got friends; they are friendly, too.

my idea is, the western world needs visit not by OFW only but by intellectuals that I would call Rizal 2.0, and many more than one.
this time, to teach westerners about the work and perceptions of original jose, and then talk with the western dissidents and oppositions about new ideas, like happened in the past, but now the cultural influence has to be bidirectional.
this is because a very similar problem is going to ruin europe.

Corrupt politicans protect the domestic corporations because they get under money or grease from them. That's why they create these stupid laws there to keep foreign companies out and benefit the domestic companies. The problem is no country can do it all, most need foreign investments to grow, like Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China..etc. Some how these knockle heads don't understand, they only understand their own corrupt ass pockets. Then they wonder why most jobs went to Thailand & Vietnam.

Lets just say I use to be a investor in Philippines and after seeing what happened to friends and people I know get completely ripped off I completely rethought about my plans of investing in the Philippines. The laws protecting foreign investment interests are just nil to none there, so who would want to invest, it is like suicide. Otherwise it would have created quite a few jobs which mean might take some people out of poverty and get an education.

@rcephuk, neo-colinialism has brought Philipinos some systems that if leveraged across a wider swath of the population may be able to eradicate poverty. More should have been done by the colonial powers, I agree, but in 2010 I would say that they need to immediately get the Internet to as many as possible and for FREE educate as many as possible to the level of a bachelors degree to bootstrap the country to compete globally.

No doubt the PI has a huge poverty problem, and its much exacerbated by rapidly exploding population, but it is still a great country with some of the most generous people that I have ever met.

No foreign investment no jobs in the Philippines, thus high levels of poverty and low levels of education as a result.

The Filipinos are running themselves to the ground by having corrupt officials and cronies in the government who are only looking after their own self interests instead of providing the citizens tools to succeed in the society. So many areas need to be addressed and the first thing the govt say is lack of funds.

The Philippines is a country that could have been. It has great potential, but the nation is gripped politically by the powerful Catholic church. It pretty much has to approve all government laws passed behind closed doors. There is rampant out of control population explosion that has the blessing of the Church despite government attempts to control it. Only an official declaration of SECULARISM can the country survive. Puritanical ideologies must be adopted while dropping Catholic work ethics

Xake19 ikaw ang tunay na Filipino. Tama ka oras na para sa Secularismo upang umunlad bansa natin laban sa makalumang isip Catholicismo ng imperialistang Vaticano.

Both our Philippine government officials & majority of the filipinos are to blame.Government graft & corruption & not enforcing reproductive health bill resulting of population booming were the main reason of mass poverty.But only if a self impose by the couple itself adopting one child policy like I do,& I'm sure we filipinos can,poverty in our country will reduce in the future and may enhance better standard living to each of everyone. Believe me, adopting one child policy is the solution.

Sa mga susunod pang dekada ay lalo pang maghihirap ang Pinas ng dahil sa pagdami ng tao.Kailangan ngayon palang ay masolusyonan na ang problema sa pagdami ng populasyon.
Numero uno na sa Guiness Book of world record ang Pinas sa pinaka maraming murder at pinaka maduming katubigan.
Philippines: The only Catholic & English speaking country in Asia. a big LOL
Korea ,China, Japan non Catholic & non English speaker w/ economy better than the US.

Korea, China, Japan better than US? Google the per capita income of this countries and compare that to the US. The US is the only remaining superpower in the world. In spite of recession(economic slowdown) we are still rich. We just don't want spend our money. The economy of Japan, Korea and China depend on the US. If we don't buy their goods, they get mess up. IF THE US GET A COLD, THE REST OF THE WORLD GET PNEUMONIA.

More than 10 trillion dollars na ang utang ng US sa world bank.Bukod pa dyan ang budget deficit.Hindi mo lang halatang mahirap ang US kasi nga ay malinis,maganda at nangangalaga sa kalikasan.Kahit mahirap na neighborhood katulad ng mobile home parks ay may tubig ,kuryente at telepono at lahat ay nasa ayos. Sa Pinas ay kailangan mo pa na bumili ng property sa Ayala Alabang,corinthian gardens,Bonifacio Global city o lakeshore para mo ma appreciate ang kagandahan ng subdivision.

Tama ka jan.May kasabihan pa ang mga Katoloko na "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" pero hindi naman nakikita sa katotohanan.Ang Pilipinas ay isa sa may pinaka maduming ilog,dagat at lawa sa buong mundo,ilog pasig.manila bay at laguna lake)Isa sa mga bansang may pinaka maraming slum areas.Mga basurang "open pit" system at walang sewage treatment plant.

The Spanish influence can be seen in Latin and South America. Whenever religion plays a big part, especially when it penetrates politics, mostly negative things become the end result. Look at religion's influence in the muslim world - same result. Look at the progress of socieities where religion does not play a big part - china, korea, japan, singapore, europe, u.s.

Ang japan ,China at Korea ay mas maunlad kaysa sa Pilipinas na hindi na colonized ng Espana at US.Mas patriotiko at mas nangangalaga sa kalikasan.Mas may delikadesa at less corrupt.

The Philippines is a country of could have been. It's destruction started when Catholicism was introduced in the country by the Spaniards. It has strangled progress to its very foundation. This attitude of "I'll just pray and see/watch" is rampant in the country. Buddhist immigrants in the country (Chinese/Koreans) have helped the economy, but unless the country rids of Catholicism in the politics, it will go nowhere. They need Puritanical work ethics like in the US.

Thank You! I believe that is exactly what is needed as well. The government, don't get me wrong, has made attempts to better things, however sad and insignificant, but until the religion is disentangled from the politics, nothing is gonna' happen. Thank you for "separation of church and state".

Ban the church from politics. Give out free condoms, free vasectomies, free planned parenthood lessons to the poor. The Church must stop telling the peasants to have as much sex as they want without condoms or other birth control means. Declare unilateral SECULARISM. Then and only then can progress from this out of control population explosion be controlled.

dude. man, we're on the same page here. Next thing you know the Philippines is gonna' be the next Africa. There's gonna' be an epidemic of HIV or other STDs, not to mention the rampant births that are already occuring, and that'll just be another problem on top of the whole list of problems they already have. They also need to fix their divorce policy. I know that you bind yourself to someone in the Catholic religion, but when they start beating you, you have to save yourself. right?

@Snipza unfortunately there's no such thing as "divorce" in the Philippines; there's annulment though.. lol
