"Bahala na" (Let God sort it out )
Philippine Ponies. As if you don't already know I like horsies. Check this out.
Just Talked about this. with my wife on the way to work. I was a bit pissed off at the forum because of the "fitting the world to a theory" thing. Its weird, when I could get myself killed by making a youtube of how the skimming process works and show the numbers of how it does. Its not that hard, corruption here is getting pretty obvious because the technology and information available is surpassing the techniques being used. the term "conflict of interest" is term many Filipinos are beginning to understand and just understanding it already tears a huge hole in the veil.
Being in a country of with the following measurable/ definable levels of corruption. Measurable lack of Press Freedom. and the high scores in Human Rights abuse. One has to consider, that these are terribly low scores, when many of the countries in comparison are undergoing civil strife. So for a "peacable" country the philippines is pretty violent.
I guess ignorance is a mixed blessing. They should be glad that they live in a country where hard work pays off and success in the higher levels doesnt require a tribute ticket or get yourself killed. Its also interesting to think that these people don't know what extents HONEST people do here so that they can keep under the radar of these predators.
Hostile Acquisision, Kidnappings, Monopolies, Shakedowns, "fund raising", may be in their media but they are just few exceptions. Here its a way of life and good people can only avoid it. Ever since that experience of an old classmate justifying involvement in fundraising, I've realized how fragile anyone situation is and a being "valorous" can get you killed.
The best course of action is to work around the system. Bringing up the HDI through entrepreneurship is what I want to be involved in. It creates a sieges the current order without ruffling feathers.
