Despite all those materials designed to increase the moral and optimism of fellow Filipinos, the country is still in the middle of a shitstorm. The whole economy is trapped in a seemingly-insane problem, but is so easily solved by a few simple fixes. Like a Rubik's cube which some tard thinks altering the stickers would render it impossible. Now, some dude who gives up easily, let's say this is the Philippines, gets challenged by the tard like, "Hey douche, solve this and I'll give you your economy back." The Philippines endlessly tried his best to solve this rigged Rubik's cube, and he has no idea at all that the cube is altered. He doesn't even have any clue that he can win by just altering the stickers back to their original positions. The tard who gave him the cube proceeds to grab the Philippines' wallet, suck out the cash and stuff it in with Chinese people, and possibly, even Muslims armed with AK47s.
So what exactly plagues the Philippine society? Other Filipinos would blame the government, blame the midget at the head of the government, or blame the first person they see. I beg to differ.
5. Lack of action
Americans are known to be couch potatoes, watching the latest episode of House while consuming three Big Macs and two buckets of KFC. Filipinos are much the same, minus the triple Big Macs and double buckets, and replacing the show with Boys over Flowers. This sir, is the Philippine phenomenon, a pathetic rip-off of its American counterpart.
Filipinos has been known to be hardworking people. I know it by experience, as you can take a leisurely stroll around the provinces in your bass-thumping Escalade and watch old people break their backs processing the rice that's just going to be fed to dogs afterwards. However, if you take a stroll around the city and observe the people, you'll find out that 53% of them are overweight, and it's clearly visible when some 250pound dude tried to jack your Escalade ride but can't keep up with 15km/h. The women also are bad at making sense of their world. You can see them on malls, throwing money on the first things they see, and throw those things in a huge dumpster afterwards. Or they could grab a lame cellphone and risk obtaining Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by texting a length of more than three times of all the Harry Potter books in a day. Surely Filipinos obtained superthumbs by just texting 300,000 messages a month in average.
So what does being a fatass and texting too much has to do with this reason? Simple. They see the problem, but just ignore it and move on eating fried chicken and texting, or watching Boys Over Flowers. You point an RPG up their faces and they'll just grab their cellphone and send a text message to everyone that reads, "HOLY SHIT GUYS, I HAVE A ROCKETBOMB ON MY FACE, ISN'T IT AWESOME? GM".

Screw you.

4. Unable to take the blame.
You and two friends are driving down the street. One of your friends, who is driving, puts the car on high speed. Suddenly, a car tries to cross the intersection slowly. Your friend immediately puts on the brakes but you hit the other car anyway. Thankfully, only minor damages were sustained.
The first thing people would do in a car accident would be to get out of their vehicles and speak with each other about the incident. The man in the other car gets out and asks which one of you and your friends is responsible for the accident. Obviously, it should be the driver, since he's taking the wheel and he's going fast. Unfortunately, your driving friend is unable to take the blame and instead blames you for the incident. Your other friend, who is so engaged finishing his share of kikiam pointlessly agrees to your driving friend. Then the man agrees to your two companions and decides to put the repair expenses on you. What a shame.
This is one of the most annoying problems with Filipinos, they can't take shame or guilt. They'd rather see someone fuck up with something they don't have knowledge about than carry the shame themselves. Who's to blame with the shitty situation of the country? The people always say, "It's the government", while the government will reply, "It's the people". Then that cycle goes on endlessly as long as there's a government and its people.
3. Easily hypnotized by media.
When the television was invented and sold commercially, many people were astounded with its capabilities of displaying moving pictures without the use of film. Although the first televisions are on capable of displaying grayscale images unlike film which are able to display color during their time, the television was more convenient, and the people are slowly becoming fatter since they don't have to go to the theatre to watch something awesome. Obviously, today, the television is so common in every home that people take them for granted. Not with Filipinos.
For people who make commercials, there are many elements that are crucial to effectively brainwash viewers into buying expensive and useless products, namely:
Too much bad CGI that looks like it's rendered by a 10 year old GPU Extremely superlative qualities (New hair growth formula! Drop one on your genitals and have a 'fro as pubes!) Fake prices that are actually 50-100% higher IRL Self-proclaimed celebrities Bad English and writing Abused children
An average Filipino would go, "Oh look its demonstrating condoms and contraceptives with street children! And oh look they're free when they're actually twenty pesos in the nearest 7-11!"
2. Overemotional
The Philippines is now unofficially the most emotional country in the planet. No, it's not because of the alarming growth of people with black nails, long bangs, and homosexual attitudes in the country. It's because of the people's lack of sense in their opinions and words, and would rather follow their butts in thinking rather than their brains.
Here's a likely scenario: A Youtube video is poking a little LOL at Asians. Now they already hit Chinese, Vietnamese's, Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese, and all other orientals out there who uses language and literature that looks obviously alien to a westerner. One line there suggested that Filipino women are sluts. Now almost every Pinoy there grabbed their ass missiles and fired useless comments at the parody artist. The artist, in his Myspace profile, wrote something about these complaints and just called it, "people being overemotional over some retarded video". That's a very fitting term.
Some woman insulting Filipino doctors in Desperate Housewives? Pinoys went emotional. A Youtube video that only features one line of insult about Filipinos? Pinoys went emotional? Critics making fun of Pacquiao and his English? Pinoys laughed it off and called it a day.
1. Too faithful to the belief, "More people, more power"
A Pinoy would throw a party bigger than the President once he or she graduates from college. The catch? That person studied something he or she did not even wish. Probably another lame branch of engineering, or call center'ing or nursing. Whatever it is, it's probably because his/her friends thought that, "More people, more fun". I think "More retards, more deaths in the hospitals and more machine failures" would be more appropriate.
Let's say you're someone who excels in painting. Now you want to study fine arts in college so that you can hone your talent further. However, you friends who has no life whatsoever pressures you to follow their choices - caregiving, call center'ing, engineering on something they have no clue about, since they think all friends should have the same choices. If you follow them, that would mean throwing your life aside and turning yourself into a zombie like them and if you don't. you're gonna spend days being riduculed for "following your goals". Well, at least in the end they're gonna be working for you.

The school nerd, 15 years later.
If this process keeps on going forever, the country will have too many unnecessary workers who will just be laid off a few weeks after being employed. I don't need five to six nurses attending to my broken arm. I don't even need to be juggled among six to seven tech support phone agents, I can just read FAQs or ask on forums. The Philippines is losing professionals that are required for growth. Our culture is dying because we don't have enough people studying fine arts. We're losing in the lines of literature because nobody gives a shit in writing, and computers are merely magic toasters since the IT education is merely composed of learning how to type sentences in Microsoft Word.
Seriously? Are we ever going upwards?
