I Hate the Philippines

09.02.2008 · Posted in Ramblings

By nature, I’m a complainer and I could probably enumerate a mile-long list of reasons on why I would pick other countries over Philippines. But here are my central reasons that I chose to delve on.

1. Philippines, as a nation, is obsessed with protests and rallies. It seems like that whoever asshole will run the country, we can’t just simply support that elected asshole. We always want another “People Power”.

2. Philippines is one of the most corrupt nations in the world. Statistics is needless in order to expound on this, just go to your respective City Hall/Municipal Hall and all the telltale signs of corruption are readily available.

3. Politicians in the Philippines are better off being movie actors themselves. I can’t blame them anyway since Philippine politics and showbizness are identical twins in our society.

4. Traffic in the Philippines is outrageous. This stems from lack of discipline and poor implementation of policies. Our obsession to protest and rallies also aggravates this even more.

5. Philippines is swarming with Filipinos like me who dislike the Philippines. Some are just plain hypocrites.

I think most Filipinos still adore the Philippines. Why won’t we when it is our native land? I am a bona fide Filipino and, yes, I still love this pathetic country. Yet, with roughly the same depth of passion, I dislike it for all the laudable things it used to have, which at present it no longer has.

Sounds contradictory, isn’t it? Well, much as I love this country with its abundant natural resources and admirable Filipino traits, I dislike it for what it has become. Migration is such an enticing option. However, I don’t have enough money to escape the Philippines. For the meantime, I have to resort to maximum tolerance and let blogging be my catharsis.

  1. hmmnn. What the heck. i can’t blame you but you must understand that each nation have their own version of good and bad. If you see others doing it the wrong way, don’t follow, don’t hate. instead find a way to make things better. Be the change. Hey amit kiss my ass. no one can beat india. 1 billion of your people are freakin laborers. Maybe ur too stupid to see these facts. You even hate or descriminate your own kind and still u have this silly guts to say such nonsense.

  2. i absolutely think that filipinos are one of the most intelligent, resilient, resourceful and hard-working people on the planet. ang ayoko lang, yun parang ini-impress nila ang mga foreigners, pero inaapi yun mga kapwa pilipino nila. parang lumalabas tuloy na foreigners deserve the best, tapos we filipinos are okay with the usual. yes, i do agree with you that the philippines is not a paradise. pero anong bansa ba ang paraiso? to create a utopian society, it would take hundreds of years (if you manage to achieve it at all). at kung may magagawa ka para makatulong na makapag-bring about ng change sa society natin, then do something. hindi naman kaya ng isang tao lang ang makapag-bago ng lipunan.
