Why We Filipinos Are Still Poor

An interesting and fun animation of why the Philippines is still poor. After several revolutions and civil wars, Filipinos are poorer than ever.

I hope someday the masa will understand what is happening and stop being gullible to celebrities in politics and media.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". Ganun nangyayari sa sistema ng Pilipinas. Maybe we should try something different. Try parliamentary system. just a simple opinion from a simple guy.

[dingory]

@designpinoy try a new system? so they can do corruption over and over again? that's absurd... another youtuber was right. its not about the mechanism, its about the operator.

[designpinoy]

@dingory in our current condition I think it's easier to change the mechanism rather than the operator. Lagi ko din naririnig the people should change not the government but we are not that wise and mature yet. It's important we keep an open mind and be open to change.

Di ba yung USA, presidential yung sistema? bat di ninyo sinama sa video? :D

Isang sentimo ko lang tungkol sa problema ng Pilipinas. Mapa-anuman ang sistema ng gobyerno dito, parehong tao pa rin yung uupo sa kaniyang mga posisyon. Kung gusto natin, bilang mga Pilipino, ng reporma, bago pa man natin isipin na ireporma ang gobyerno, ireporma muna natin ang ating sarili

Tumatawid ka ba sa tamang tawiran?

Humihinto ka ba sa stop light?

Bago kayo magreklamo sa gobyerno, tignan nyo muna sarili nyo.

Napakababaw ng analysis. Ni hindi naisaalang-alang ang epekto ng Bretton Woods Institutions at Imperyalismo. May pahiwatig pa ng paghikayat sa Foreign Direct Investments. Mapanlinlang ang pagbibigay ng mga halimbawa ng mga bansang may gobyernong parlamentaryo at presidensyal. Masasabi kong mapaglaro ang imahinasyon ng gumawa ngunit walang 'factual basis'. Puro haka-haka at walang matibay na pundasyon ng mga patunay na susuporta sa mga claims na inilahad.

graduation nmin year 1996... guest speaker namin si lucio tan... ang sabi nya na aasenso ang pilipinas after 20 years... siguro dahil patay na lahat ng mga matatandang politiko at magkakaroon ng bagong breed ng namumuno...

That's why Philipinos leave the Philippines to go to different country to have a better life. My wife is from Philippines and she became a nurse so she can leave the Philippines to have a better life in the States.

@Sum1OverTheRainbow - Well i disagree with you. The masses are not ignorant. They are in fact the first to live a life of misery and having said that they clearly know there is a problem. I'll give you a quote from Euthopia. "If the govrnmnt suffer their people to be ill-educated, and their manners corrpted from infancy, and then punish them 4 those crimes to wc their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded but that the government first make thieves and then punish them?"

nice video... marami sigurong nagsasabi dito na walang basis ang mga puntos mu pero common sense lang kailangan para ma analyze to eh. I agree to most parts lalo na ang demokrasya para sa mga mayayaman. sa totoo lang nakakasuka ang EDSA. hindi ku naabutan si Marcos pero kung iisipin mu lng maigi, mga taga forbes at haciendero ang mga biktima ni Marcos. Land Reform, stoppage of monopoly, hoarding of goods etc. Patuloy na sinisira ang kabutihan ni Marcos sa mga bagong henerasyon.

Napansin ko lang yung mga nabanggit na mga bangsang may Parliamentary system ay hindi archipelago, maliban na nga lang sa Japan. Sa tingin nyo uubra? Parang ang hirap ipatupad dahil hiwa-hiwalay ang mga isla ng Pilipinas. Napag-usapan na namin to sa klase dati, iba-iba ang mga opinyon ng mga kaklase ko. Kelangan dw magkaroon ng cvil war, patayin lahat ng 35y/o & above na mga politicians. Hindi rin ako sigurado dahil hindi naman ako eksperto. Insights, anyone? Salamat po.

Paano magbabago ang mga Filipino kung walang mahigpit na batas na pinatutupad? Paano susunod at magkakaroon ng disiplina kung walang batas na kinatatakutan? Subukan nilang higpitan ang batas at bawat mali ay parusahan, tinganan natin na kahit na gaano katigas na ulo ng isang mamamayan ay magkakaroon ng takot at sya ang kusang magbabago sa sarili nya, dahil MAY BATAS. Pero may batas nga tayo pero batas batasan lang lalo na sa mga mayayaman.

@designpinoy I agree with you.

@dingory what you are trying to point out is the culture where almost everyone w/ a position in our government automatically takes advantage, its the mind setting.

My brother and I had a very long discussion about this. He is insisting that we must learn to change our mind setting (/culture).. I asked him "how?" he replied thru evolution..

I asked him again, "'til when?" - Kapag nainvade na ang mundo ng Aliens 150 years from now?

viable points have been made by the vid..it is true due to our irresponsibility 2 our extreme lack of responsibility we can be classified as almost stupid, nd it is also true dat change can only be made by changing ourselves 1st, bt d sad part of it is, d 1s implementng d laws or makin dem r d 1s hu badly needs d change bt i dnt think dey evn realizd dat..laws bein made most of em wer made to protect d businesses of the lawmaker making it,,
