Hmmm di naman siguro malas. Kulang lang sa swerte.
Seriously I think we have elected and allowed the same old families to rule us since 1946.
Well boys and girls (the 1000+ oligarchic families), you’ve had your chance. Give the 15+ million other
families with better ideas the chance to run our country. But that would mean giving up the
good times for you, so I won’t hold my breath.

Simula pa lang may bahid na ng historical revisionism ang “history” na yan. Hindi ninyo lang alam na si Enrique, ang katutubong alipores ni Magellan, ay nakipagkontsaba kay Lapu-Lapu gamit ang wikang Malay. Dun pa nga lang eh mali-mali na. Hindi naman mga tribo ang lahat ng nakatira sa Pilipinas noon. Mga Buddhist at Hindu po sila. At kung tutuusin tama naman yung ginawa ni Lapu-Lapu, kasi sa sumunod na tatlong daang taon… Basta, kahit papaano enjoy pa rin ako magbasa ng blog na ito. Hindi talaga nauubos ang kabobohan sa daigdig no?

I guess you guys agree with my latter point. Yep, Pinoys author their own kamalasan.

How to change it… obviously, it starts with ourselves. Stop your own faults. Resist culture. Second, just tell others how better it is to do things right. Others most likely have started, so it’s time to join that drive. Make swimming against the tide a way of life… lol.

It is a waiting game. Every Filipinos are waiting for every other Filipinos to change before a Filipino change. Rings true. Very true.

Prideful Filipinos don’t want to be seen to change for the better. Because changing for the better is embarrassing. Corruption is not. Corruption is an act that is to be told over and over again.

I repeat, each Filipinos are waiting for the other Filipinos who are also waiting for other Filipinos to change. Therefore, nothing change.

Illegitimus non carborundum. Don’t let the bastards grind you down, especially when you have
a family depending on you. Protect your own household. That’s at least one of the ways, I think,
to move things forward.

A few of the “bad old culture” now appear as habits. It is hard to get a neighbor to stop doing
bad habits, but if a bad culture-habit is inside your household, at least take care of that.
It takes effort, but once you identify a habit you want to discard and the habit you want to
replace it with, then the intensity of some of the habits can be reduced within your household.

Makes me wonder if we really are meant to be a nation if not for Magellan.

if that is so, how can we change it then? where should we start? how can we start it?

Touche’ UPngrad. “…repetition. Parents behavior a repetition of what they saw from grandparents; and children’s behavior a repetition of what they saw from parents.” BECOMES CULTURE.

Filipinos cultured themselves to the path they are unaware of choosing. Filipinos know the right from the wrong, yet, they act in the opposite direction.

Beyond their control? Cannot resist evil? Impossible to swim against the tide? Can’t beat evil, so, join them?

Filipinos are doomed to perdition. As what Renato Pacifico has been harping about, “FlipPinos (sic) only change when they are abroad. They become upright law-abiding citizens. When they go back to the FlipLand (sic) they become Filipino again”.

Behavior as genetic? Better explanation is repetition. Parents behavior a repetition of what they saw from grandparents; and children’s behavior a repetition of what they saw from parents.
