China

Once upon a time, China was once tagged as the sleeping giant by the ecomonist and other opinion culumnist across the world. At present this is no longer the case, China is now the second largest economy and is fast becoming worlds superpower in business, military capabilities and defense technology, having now great political influence among countries around the globe. China which is the most populated nation on this planet is now a powerfull force to reckon with. The question is,?! For Filipinos, what do we learn from this. We were educated in a different light from western influence as a former American colony and ally--how many times we were taught that communism is evil and so on and on. We I suppose should study deeper and act decisively to apply some good techniques and ideas not only from China but also from the pitfalls of American ways of governance to include other developed countries as well. It is really high time for our country to begin and develop industrializing our economy. We should move on industrialization process, the government and private sector should join together and launch a long-term plan of action towards a sustainable development that will benefit the majority of our masses in the future generations to come.

Sleepless

Filipinos had been sleeping for too long... most billionaires and bigtime businessmen in the Philippines are from China, decendants and purely breed in China-- in other words made in China entrepreneurs. Simple, yet clever businessmen. Thanks to Lau Tsu with their Taoist and Buddhist upbringing. Hey, what am I saying here! i'm telling about these sleeping Filipinos but all of a sudden i'm 'goin deeper into the chinese mainstream. But yes that's the problem-- one Filipino traits is eating me--tinatamad! ahh.. the easy life of procrastination.

Tisoy

Being a Filipino is somewhat complicated, a race with mixed racial origins--from aborigines(katutubo) to Tisoy-genes. what a race! You name it and presto we have it! ( picture from--http://www.imagesphilippines.com/viewimage.php?id=180)

Wise Breed

There is a widespread belief among Filipinos that the Pinoy race are hardheaded-- matitigas ulo! which one?one might wonder... but fairly enough mostly believed Pinoys" are a especial breed of wise men! Whatever that means...

Corruption Fever

Only in the Philippines where Government officials involved in scams and other malpractices never get shamed, in other countries who are only even rumored to have corrupt practices are bound to resign from their post in public office from the humiliation. WHILE in our beloved country the Philippines-- officials involved, rumored to nefarious activities never opt to resign but instead denying the allegations to the max-- in Pinoy 'linggo 'kapit tuko sa pwesto. The thing is, it goes back to the upbringing of our well educated officials who are by-products of our weak educational system lacking the much needed ethical standards that can be gained only from primary education upward through the study of philosophy. But alas, we have no such learning in early childhood school system. They might say we have GMRC in primary schools but as we can see--its not an effective medium.
