I’ve visited the Philippines on a number of occasions. What I saw there was a culture of corruption. You might convict one or two blatantly corrupt officials, but until you all”“as a nation”“teach good moral character, corruption will flourish at all levels. This corruption at all levels is what keeps the PI so poor (the only thing keeping the economy afloat are the Filipinos working abroad sending money home). American friends of mine have tried to start businesses there, but everyone from the town mayor, police, and up want bribes”“and they’re like flies on Sh*&”“they keep coming back for more! Then their employees kept stealing everything not nailed down. When we visited the PI, we couldn’t even leave our hotel in Manila without our driver being pulled over by corrupt police officers (our drivers did nothing wrong) who demanded bribes or they would arrest our driver (for nothing!). This happens daily. It is very sad how totally corrupt things are over there”“it’s even sadder that Filipinos accept all this corruption as “normal” behavior.

You’re right about “spin” … more people should be more critical of these “spinsters”. Sometimes, we readily take the opinions of men in power and people in the media as “truths”. We must spread the word that there are people out there who bend the truth to suit their interests.

Sa Newspaper ko lang nga nalaman ‘to eh. Panggabi na kasi yung sked ko, di nako makapanood ng balita. Midnight nako nakauwi ng bahay.

Is it collective guilt or not? I suppose not. We have all been doing our share.. The problem is accessibility. Government continues to be indifferent to its people’s plight. It busies itself with feel-good statistics but forgot the people its suppose to serve.

Unless society will get its act together, poverty will not be addressed. In my opinion,

The RC Church must cooperate in population management. Preventing the sperm from meeting the egg, whether natural or not, is not abortion. But messing it up after the union is already a crime.
The rich in society to act like a big brother to the poor ones

Employers to give and do more, when capable
The rich barangay for a poor barangay
In our own little way, we can share our time. resources, talents to educate, assist and help the less privilege get out of their situation.

Citizens action, poltical will to rid our society of the corrupt and cheaters.
More budget for education, health and other public services.
