wealthy philippines

As an addition to what you've said, most of us do not see our country as rich. That's why they got stuck to the thought that our country is poor. As a result, unconsciously, they act on choices that makes them poorer. It's a matter of psychology. However, if one thinks that our country is rich, one'll immediately see opportunities. Therefore, the one person will act on the thought that will be advantageous for him. Sadly, the media has already influenced most of us into thinking that Philippines is poor going poorer. I hope this will change soon. Or that the people will have the initiative to see the different opportunities our motherland can give us.

Yes I agree with you. I think it's no secret that the Philippines is indeed a rich country. We are rich in natural resources. Take for example our soil. It is very rich that even though you just throw a seed in your backyard, it will grow. Now compare it with other places like in Saudi or Iran. Most of their land area are deserts where not even a single plant will grow. Although their land is rich with oil. Still, it's how they cultivated their oil that they have become financially rich. I think the problem with the Philippines is that most people do not take care of their environment. They don't know how to cultivate our rich natural resources. On the contrary, they exploit it for their own selfish reasons. The government is doing much to preserve our natural resources. Most of them, though not all, apply for such positions to serve their own agenda and not to serve their constituents. If most Filipinos only realize that we were not only glorious and rich in the past but that we are rich today, they will do everything in their power to cultivate our rich resources. 90% of Filipinos are drowned in poverty. Yet, all the richness of nature surround them. We are a race blessed by God. The problem is, we fail to take care of what has been given to us. We, as a nation, are not good stewards of God's blessings. That is why most of us are poor. We only have ourselves to blame.

We have corrupt officials, ignorant people and a very bleak future... I wish I can finally get myself some real money to go to someplace else whose name is not Philippines. People should know better how to make themselves money instead of working their butts off and depend on the system but sadly, Filipinos are only taught to be employees by the school, no?

Hope you are right, joannbilon. I'm starting at my own to be able to provide jobs for a lot of Filipinos in the near future... Though I may not have a business now... or money but with this thing between my ears, I know I can reach that goal in no time at all. How do you fare in your journey to get Philippines back to its glory, joannbilon? I hope you're better off than me right now...
