Hello fellow pinoys, let's have a little debate here or something. I want to hear your opinions about our country. We all know the state of our country...and all I can say is that we should start loving our country. Yes we can see that our President is at fault for a lot of things. But we can't deny the fact that she has done a lot of good things for the Philippines (don't you think?) I do believe, that with the help and support of the Filipino people, we can make our country better. Yes, Gloria is all corrupt, blah blah, she's like this, like that. But, can't we just stop blaming her and start working our way to our country's further improvement? Let me give you some examples how we can help: we're complaining about poverty, well how many has helped in charity? Not all right? We can make a difference. we're complaining about trash. Well, we can start cleaning out right now. let's reuse, recycle. I'll share with you my dream in helping out the Philippines: I'm studying as a nurse, and time will come I'll be earning abroad (which i hope will come true) I have this goal that if some other country pays me for my service as a nurse, then Philippines won't. I'll offer my service free of charge...I'll volunteer to missions... I believe in the Philippines. I know there are brighter days ahead. And it's all starting now...don't you notice those Condominiums being built? A lot of companies from other countries are investing here already. So, fellow pinoys, what do you think?

Philippine flag - our flag
Philippines is a beautiful country, with beautiful places, beautiful culture, beautiful people like you, and a beautiful day to you. You are right with those descriptions you mentioned and also regarding our present leader, a woman president! Here is my own input about our country: Our country will be moving towards an era where we will be experiencing difficulties and troubles due to immorality and corruption. Our country is not headed towards a better future but to destroy itself and sold to other nations. Look at our debt, it's increasing year by year. When you were born, you already had a debt without you knowing it. But I think, in our own little way, we can help others and make a difference one at a time. In conclusion, for our country to prosper, we need God, we need people who are Godly, and leaders with uncompromising character!

Yes I agree with you if just think of all the negative side that happen to our country today were are helping our country. We should be responsible to what we do even in a little way we should do something for pour country. If we keep on complaining and blaming it to our government and do nothing about it it just the same. But if find ways in helping them in a little way that we can we can contribute for the good benefit of our country like for example in garbage if we have discipline to ourselve not throwing our rubbish to anywhere but in trash can. Simple but many of us did not do it because they were lazy enough and we keep on blaming and complaining. ahhhh.... Corruption is already there and I don't know if there are still cure for it but if we try to cure it in ourselve we have to start it in ourselves red tape is corrupted we keep on giving to be easy for us.... like in government offices they are not doing their work enough many of our fellow country men waiting long enough in their line to be serve but they are waisting their whole afternoon for that simple work that is to be done for a few minutes if they like to do it. Sometime I'm thinking why Filipinos like this but if they go somewhere outside our country they obey all the rules their but in our own country they are the one who makes pasaway.... How can we go further more if we nail our oneself backwards. We have to wake up in a very long sleep it's not too late their still time to change but I hop we change for the better not for worst.

I like your idea about Filipinos following the law in other countries but they can't follow the law in their own country. Well, I hope Filipinos realize that. They follow the law in other countries because the authorities are strict unlike in the Philippines but that is not a ground for not following the law. A law is a law...hayyy

I dont see the President is at fault for a lot of things. We ouselves need to change for our country's sake. The country I believe is not poor. Thats all. ITs our belief system that we are poor. I am not poor and the Philippines is progressing somehow.
