Corruption! Yes. What about this terrifying culture of the Filipinos? In 2013, I wrote this post “ Corruption Kills Filipino People - Let's End Corruption in the Beautiful Country Philippines ”. I think it is a good time to remind people about it once again. If you’re one of the millions of Filipinos who wants good changes for the Philippines, our beloved country, then this post is for you. If you’re foreigner who’s looking to visit (or maybe settle for good) the Philippines one day, this is an interesting piece that will guide you on your stay. Let me start this with these questions. Is the growing population of the Filipinos poses serious threats to the quality of life in the Philippines 10 or 20 years from now? Would the present administration’s “War on Drugs” really save millions of lives of the future Filipino generations? Will the militant groups or so-called “leftists” ever side with the government for peace and order sake? Can the traffic problems in EDSA and across

Hello. Welcome to my country - the Philippines! I want to promote the Philippines, not just because I am a Filipino who lives here, but because the Philippines is a country that is so welcoming, so beautiful, and so diverse in a lot of ways. In this blog site, I’ve written many articles about the good places to visit here, the realities of life, and the challenges of the modern times we Filipinos are facing. I know those blogs are just a tiny portion of the whole story about the Philippines so in this another post series, I would highlight good stuffs that would more likely make you appreciate the land of the Filipinos in a more positive and engaging way. Laiya - One of the Most-Visited Beaches in the Philippines During Summer Boats in Hundred Islands, Alaminos, Pangasinan If you’re reading this post right now and you happened to be not a Filipino, I suggest you continue up until the last word. You will get to discover what truly a good life is here in the country.

There can never be equality in this world. As a Filipino observer, this is what I learned over the past decades of my life here on the Philippines. Perhaps, many of you will agree that good and evil forces are the key players in this innocent planet. For the religious, its angel and demons who fight each other. For the politicians, it would be the majority versus the minority. For world leaders, the allied and axis powers do take over the world. But for the kids, it is simply the heroes and villains. This post is something you may not like and I sincerely apologize if it would hurt your feelings or bring you harm, especially with the photos I am going to share here. With all these never-ending racism, discrimination, abuse of power, terrorism, oppression, and inequality happening around the Philippines and the whole world, are not those so-called “superheroes” already dead? It’s only in the movies where good ending happens, but in real life, the cycle of winning and losing just keep on

“Ang kabataan ang pagasa ng bayan.” (The youth is the hope of the nation.) –  Dr. Jose Rizal, Philippine National Hero Quite a rhetoric statement by  Jose Rizal  if you will examine, but if taken literally, yes, it conveys the truth about the youth. When adults are done, the new generation whom were once youth, will take care of the country. So needless to say, that is how life cycle goes in this planet, in any country. The youth is the hope of their own nation for they will be next in line to rule, run, lead, and build the country.

Even the then youths whom are now the adult citizens of the country, they lose the quality of being a “hope” of this nation. Children Playing in a Park You may or may not agree with me on this interpretation of mine but I believe there is one truth we can both agree with. And that is: Hindi pa huli ang lahat. May
