typhoon Ondoy, which happened a couple of months ago in what used to be the "pearl of Asia", my birth and home country, Philippines, this picture was taken from

For me as a Filipino, what we had circa 1920-30's can never be replaced, I think this is absolutely being pessimistic, you can't blame me though, ask this question to any
OFW , 9 out of 10 they'll agree with me.But like they say, there is always two side to a coin......or is there?
May elections are coming very very soon, the media and all the alternatives are obviously filled with candidates "tweeting" their platforms and what not, Filipinos like you and me tend to pick whoever name has the sweetest promise, and history repeats itself...
Survey says roughly 75% are poverty-stricken in the Philippines, our population is out of control, this, I believe is one of the major contributor of our state as of today, and is also true to our fellow Asian countries such as India and China. But what separates them from us is this, they're moving forward. Amazingly in this Economic Crisis that we are on according to
this report. India and China are clearly creeping out of poverty, regardless of their population count. Kudos to them.
Discipline is what Filipinos need, to say the least, its funny seeing Filipinos overseas and in their home country, they will obey every law elsewhere but their home country.Singapore as some of you may know is very strict in implementing all kinds of laws which are so easy to break as a Filipino, here are some of them,
Singapore do's and dont's. what happens if one denies the law is really depressing, specially to their pocket. That is why Singapore is deemed as a "
Fine City". Pun intended.
