HIdden Philippines. Tribal Filipinos exhibited at Lousiana Purchase Exhibition in 1904 - human zoo

It is more fun criticizing

In 1904 Filipinos  were exhibited  as an oddity in Louisiana Purchase exposition.     To show life in the Philippines that we deserved to be colonized.     Filipino reservation 47 acres.   Over 1000...

How sad and how cruel...

Filipino life exhibited  47 acres.     Human zoos

Louisiana Exposition

Alongside the hot dog stands and carnival games, fairgoers could explore "human zoos," which were exhibits of real people who had been taken from their homelands. Brought from far-flung places, these people were "displayed" among re-creations of their native villages.

According to NPR, the Philippine village stretched for 47 acres and included more than 1,000 Filipinos from at least 10 different ethnic groups. The Philippines had just been acquired by the United States after the 1898 Spanish-American War, and fairgoers were curious about the "primitive" tribes.

But what they saw was hardly an accurate depiction. Fairgoers were told, for example, that the Igorots routinely ate dogs. Though Igorots only ate the creatures occasionally for ceremonial purposes back home, they were fed dog meat every day at the fair.

 Maybe demeaning and dehumanizing  Ugly aspect of Phil Am relationships.     Ugly little brown bros.   Shameful...

Maybe they are not surprised on how much PHL has progressed after over a centurey   And someday, we will get ahead of the Big White Bros..  We have all that they have in their country.  We are a participant in many critical industries:   maritime, semicons, AI,  infrastructure and engineering

Why were our leaders unable to make the same choice

It is more fun criticizing

We could have been more prosperous had our leaders chosen this paths done by these two countries:     Singapore.  and Botswana

one was mosquito infested, no oil, no other resources.  But progressed from fishing village to    With GDP exceeding that of UK.    The leader invested heavily in education

What they had were outstanding leaders.  Dont we have leaders?

Botswana and Singapore

Nothing came out of the expensive investigations; the defenders of the crooks are smart in their strategies our only hope is Kara Davids birthday wish

It is more fun criticizing

Many are despairing over investigations by Senate and ICI of scandals of the flood control scandals.  Nothing definite has come of the investigations despite hints as to who was behind all these.

All we can say is that we 8080 are treated to a great comedy and show.  The crook planners and defenders are smart and they have used all measures to hide the crime and the perpetrators.    And confuse everyone. 

Despite overwhelming evidences, legal niceties have blocked the allegations by alleged former soldies that they delivered basura to various personalities (their testimonies led to the doors of the top govt officials)

Now we have hidden the truth and  that angers many.     Others have misdirectted attention towards impeachment;   while the other impeachment carrried more weight, it was  smartly dismissed by the allies and the beneficiaries.  

Bahala na si Batman.     Divine Justice will intervene and Kara Davids wishes will take hold on the crooks and the mastermind..  

Realities about the Philippine economy

It is more fun criticizing

While other posts praise the growing PHL economy (now no 34 in GDP ranking!!!) others just like this post criticize its performance and say PHL is a house of cards    

As someone who has invested in the countryside, and go around frequently for the site visit, Ii conclude that much local investment has been made and we can not escape the fact that there is progress and much stride has been made in country side development.  And the truth is Western countries cant help but notice the growth rate of the PHL and that it has become an alternative for sites of manufacturing for those who leave China or Vietnam

Certain level of skill and ability has been built on AI, computers, semiconductor and even on infrastructure design and construction by Filipino architects and engineers

Self development personal improvement is prevalent among Filipinos and that is something not mentioned in the article/video.

We can move forward despite the questionable leadership in the country   

In exchange for the EDCA privileges? Its about time?!

It is more fun criticizing

PHL can attain its leadership trajectory in 2040 finally;    the President did the right move to align with USA?   Is this correct?
