We are a great country, with great achievement

It is more fun criticizing

Because of this post, many Filipinos comment have been largely negative and blame many things for being a laggard.  

We have been affected by politicians and doomsayers who seem not to find anything good in us.

No need to denigrate, to be a detractor of our own country.  We need to always seek the good in us and the Philippines

We have to be proud of our achievement for having one of the highest GDP growth in South East Asia and in the world.

There is too much to be thankful for and be grateful for our country.  And to be proud of it.  Our fast growing population will be our strength.  Many countries like Japan and SK will look up to Philippines  for workers to take care of their olds, and to man their factories

TV network news were full of Chinese in Malaysia demanding apology from Malaysian government.  Bah they are guests of Malaysia and acting that way.  If they are to be dragged by police and and soldiers, they deserve such treatment.

These is the repeat of what they demanded from the Philippine govt and Pres of the Phil to apologize to Chinese with regards to killing of some Chinese tourists who died in a firefight of hostage taker police officer with SWAT.

We condole with the friends from China for the loss of their loved ones in the two incidents.  But who pulls the trigger and who and which caused the crash of the Malaysian jet were beyond the control of the Malaysians nor Filipinos.  The missing Malaysian MH370 jet as mysterious.    And thus their action are seen as abrasive, and a display lack of humility and understanding of the events.  And flaunting that they, the Chinese is now a power to contend with and probably can do whatever they want to do anywhere in the world (See that they blocked the path of Philippine Coast Guard in Ayungin shoal).  

So the best defense really is offense, as the big bro USA has shown in the past.

The peace accord was signed with MILF yesterday between Pres. Aquino and Murad Ebrahim marking the end of decades of internal fighting that left 120,000 people dead.  It was attended by scores of diplomats, govt officials, and 500 MILF fighters.   Elsewhere in Mindanao and rest of the country, the rest of Muslims celebrated the historic momentn

The signing was witnessed by Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak  who visited the country despite the missing Malaysian Airlines crisis

What do you think?   Will this mean the end of the conflict?  Several peace accords were signed in the past and conflicts continued.

After this, will there be another group representing themselves as the Bangsa Moro.  What about the Sultan of Sulu followers?

Who is winning the Taiwan PHL rift?

Social and political criticisms

Rich and powerful countries continue to flex their muscles and cow PHL to submit to their whims:  China with regards to Spratly's, Malaysia with regards to Sabah, and Taiwan with regards to allegedly killing of Taiwanese fisherman who intruded into PHL territory.

PHL does not have balls?  But we are great in basketball, arent we?

Let us analyze the trade retaliatory acts of Taiwan:   Taiwan about $4 billion worth to PHL, PHL imports $2 billion from Taiwan.   Taiwan tourists only rank no 5 among arrivals.   So maybe PHL economy and businessman may be resilient and flexible enough to make up for the losses.

We are not losers, nor cry babies, are we?
