I definitely speak only for myself, representing no organization and pushing no agenda, particularly, other than advocating for a productive Philippines. <br /><br />I agree that many Filipinos display outstanding talents in a number of fields, if given a proper environment in which to work. Often this seems to be overseas. I think the opportunities to excel are far too limited, and the broad population is not introspective in the sense that they are quite willing to fill the storm drains with trash because they don't reflect on how this hurts others and, ultimately, themselves. Or allow dogs to run free, killing motorcyclists. Or drive with little regard for the safety of themselves or others.<br /><br />I think Filipinos are for sure as intelligent as any American, but they are not as experienced or successful at thinking forward and considering broad contexts or impacts. <br /><br />I'm glad you are proud to be Pinoy. I'm proud to call the Philippines my home. If you don't think western values of introspection, pro-action rather than reaction, planning, other-oriented customer service and efficiency are in the best interest of the Philippines, by all means speak out against them.<br /><br />If you think western standards of health and safety and cleanliness are not in the best interest of the Philippines, very definitely advocate the status quo.<br /><br />For sure, your view would be the predominant one.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-35488628606001169302011-05-14T09:04:59.080+08:002011-05-14T09:04:59.080+08:00Speak for yourself Joe!

Proof of this can be seen in the list of our achievements (floresent bulb, moonbuggy, ethernet chip, people power, greatest boxer in history). We continue to raise the bar of excellence because we refuse to be brainwashed by westerners who try to impose their values on us. The Philippines is great and if it were not, you would not be here enjoying the benefits of our great culture now would you?Proud Pinoynoreply@blogger.com
