Nagtatanong lang!
This article ended up in my mailbox sometime ago. A question we should all have to ponder. Why nga ba?Why jojo...why?
Why Is The Philippines Poor?
Dear Friends,
Here is a good article sent by Dr. Arsenio Martin of Fort Arthur, Texas. Enjoy reading.
THE DIFFERENCE
The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country: This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor.
On the other hand, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, that 150 years ago were inexpressive, today are developed countries, and are rich.
The difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available natural resources. Japan has a limited territory, 80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.
Another example is Switzerland, which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate in the world. In its little territory they raise animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce dairy products of the best quality! It is a small country that transmits an image of security, order & labor, which made it the world’s strongest, safest place.
Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference.
Race or skin color is also not important: immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.
What is the difference then?
The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education & the culture & flawed tradition.
On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:
1. Ethics, as a basic principle.
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. Respect to the laws & rules.
5. Respect to the rights of other citizens.
6. Work loving.
7. Strive for savings & investment.
8. Will of super action.
9. Punctuality.
10. and of course…Discipline
In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.
The Philippines is not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us. In fact, we are supposedly rich in natural resources. We are poor because we lack the correct attitude. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich & developed societies.
If you do not forward this message nothing will happen to you. Your pet will not die, you will not be fired, you will not have bad luck for seven years, and also, you will not get sick or go hungry.
But those may happen because of your lack of discipline & laziness. Your love for intrigue and politics, your indifference to saving for the future, your stubborn attitude.
If you love your country, let this message circulate so that many Filipinos could reflect about this, & CHANGE, ACT!

lack of political will to strictly implement what is truthfull, rightfull , necessary, honestly , lacking of true selfless leaders with true vision for the future , kasi po, nuong estudyante pa , aktibista at idealistiko, nabago ng maupo sa pwesto , naking makasarili at ganid, naging katauhan ng nilalang na dating kinakalaban, tinalo ng bulok na sistema ang taong ayaw ng magpakabayani para sa kapwa at bayan.ikaw , paano mo iminumulat ang iyong mga anak sa dalisay na pagmamahal sa bayang sinilangan , manalig ka , nasa kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan , ngunit nasa matatanda ang paghubog at gabay tungo sa wastong landas ng bukas, manatili kang nagmamatyag at gising , tayo lang ang tunay na inaasahan ng ating lupang hinirang , MABUHAY KA MULI PILIPINAS !
mahirap na lang magsalita, pero sa tingin ko, masama ang naging impluwensya ng mga espanyol sa atin
i respect your [oint anonymous but as always , sa atin magmumula ,ating ikasasama , sa atin manggagaling ating ikagagaling, we must & should decide what is beneficial for us all, irregardless kahit kanino nagmulang dayuhang impluwensya , but come to think of it , kung nasa atin lang ang opportunity, sana narito sa ating bansa ang mahuhusay na pinoy na nanirahan at nagpapaunlad ng dayuhang bayan , brain drain ika nga , eh sa husay ng mga klasmeyts natin na sa overseas na , sayang yan , di ba ? madalas pa nating makakapiling tuwing reunion at mga okasyon , mas masaya. mabuhay tayong lahat!
