The Roman catholic doctrine is the main cause of poverty and uncontrollable population growth! Extreme Corruption is the main cause of Brain drain and mass migration to other countries! Extreme poverty is the main cause of the country's soaring criminality rate! Brain drain is the cause why most in the Government are dumb! Dumbness is the cause of ditrust amongst neighbors.most rich Filipinos are products of colonial mentalities! poor Filipinos are products of Catholic mentality...
