how can Pinoys vote for responsible candidates? the good ones keep getting assassinated

I do not know everything in depth of the Philippines economy or culture like you sir, but this is what I've experienced when I'm working in the building company that have tons of migrant labors including south asian, PRC, vietnamese, filipinos, etc. I will compared on what I've observed, the work ethics of the filipinos is actually quite unique but typical. So I have 2 filipinos and 5 vietnamese assigned to my team and my project was to reno the apartment studio it takes 10 days of work finish. The vietnamese they have no problem they do as what shown and guided by me and my supervisor what to do, they did their job well and only slack when the wiring team came after they had done all the pipes. They eat their lunch break quickly and proceed to work and ended their shift even before 6pm and they went back to their dorm and do whatever they want. On the other hand, filipinos do the same as they're told to do but the problem was that they have the habit to cut corners not from the work itself, but rather delaying time and slacking on unsupervised timing. When I told them after they eaten their lunch to go finish up installing that sink quickly so that the cleaner team will come to clear the dust and dirt they're on standby already. The filipino responded "Yeah we get it done after this break" and I ask "how long?" and he said "30mins". I come back and it took them over an hour and by the time they finish their today duty it ended up being 7+pm, I can't go home neither do the cleaner team as well and they don't get overtime pay either, we all are delayed due to their slow work and laziness. My supervisor did give them some opinions and thoughts to improve their work attitude, but yeah he realized that they are both in an complete different world of thinking between what is "okay" and "effectiveness" hence my supervisor just stopped trying to talk reasons with them. After that project, it greatly affected filipinos to get into this industry because most building companies will give score to each nationality and put it on telegram for the whole companies to see and many filipinos often get replaced by other nationality To my conclusion... Filipinos are enable to do stuff or make decision only for the conveniency for themselves, no regard to teamplayer and effectiveness. Their mindset tend to be "good enough", "it needs time", "at least we done it". Accountability is like non-exist in their education and culture. Whatever opinions or criticism we throw at them, they will dodge everything like Neo from the Matrix and stick with their own narrative long enough to convinced themselves that it's just fine and won't greatly affect their reputation. Not all filipinos are like that as I've work with some very good filipinos designer talents in my team, but yeah the good amount of filipino reputation is not on par with the standard the industry are looking for unfortunately

The only solution is become a province of China

Good work. Waiting for next update.

It depends on what it is meant to be a rich country. If in terms of natural resources that will make us rich like saudi, that is called oil.. we dont have that.. become rich like japan by industriaization and export driven, not happening since America and eu rarely build factories here. Why? Corruption and red tape.... So what is left to make country rich without oil and geopolitical help? We can either develop our own research and development to be leader in technology so we could compete to the innovations of west,, we can develop our other natural resources for the purpose of getting enough money to capitalize on our other sectors that could promise growth,, we can develop our human resources by sending more slaves abroad (sorry to offend ofw but its a gov strategy since Marcos sr time),, or we work harder and pray until our combined efforts will pay off (but we are undoubtly culturally lazy and even shamefully relly on our children for pension). Most of these are futile in short term, since breaking the uppepr middle income bracket for Philippines will be after half of this century probably

Why did Philippines skip industrialization growth driver and become consumer growth driver economy? Because of OFWs. If so, the industries we have are not really mature, and is full of monopolies and oligarchies. Then the rich and elite would starve middle class currently working in the Philippines by slowing wage increase, how? By tight control of gov policy makers. Ofws on the other hand is helping this elites by buying cars from their banks, buying house and lot from elite's vast land holdings and property development, if they get home .. so how can middle class grow? The video is right in determining that open competition open economy will make middle class go up the ladder, as well as those in poverty to become middle class. With our numbers growing in the % in population, we can demand the gatekeepers policy makers in the government to think for the better future of their cobstituents and not be protectors and subservient to elite class. With all available technology we have, every legal age people should be able to vote on critical decisions and policy of our bureaucracy, and should have the voice for passage of laws.. comelec should accept middle class participation in our democratic system by direct vote from legal age people, and not representation in congress or senate.. charter change is needed

This is not just a Philippine scenario, it is universal .. an uninformed or misinformed Middle class is what Elites want, because this elites hoard the resources. They became rich from directing the flow of money to their businesses. They attain elite status by having strong connection in the government. If middle class can do that and project power as a group, it will be attempted to be crushed by the elites by government regulation. An individual middle class does not hold any strength to change the uneven gaming field

Walang taong mahirap sa taong masikap 😆

Nice try AI generated channel. I'm no expert in economics and am no lefty person, but you missed a major point in your defense of the capitalists. The words "corruption" and "red tape"! This directly and inderectly affects the wages of laborers. Plus AI generated channel, this many tycoons and rich business owners are involved im this. There are more stuff to talk about, but unless you've never been a minimum wage earner, you will never understand the sentiments of these people. Again, I'm no lefty!

Dahil sa omnibus election code basta marunong lang magbasa pwede na maging senador at presidente. Pero pag mall janitor kailangan college level at kukuha pa ng NBI. Dapat meritocrcratic tayo ibig sabihin may good credentials ang pinipili nating mga politiko

look at the mindanao people's are foor 😡😡😡 because of the lader

it's because people on the Philippines is berry corruption so that's so people on the Philippines still are foor 😡😡😡😡😡 because of menny lader are corruption 😡😡😡😡

So, I believe that the problem is the mindset of the people. But the video is very well made

lol

Pilipinopolitician are corrupt , they don’t care much about the plights of the people

Some of this people are from other island where there is no proper education, because of luck schools or they are mostly farmers and live in remote area where is no industries to earn more money, Chinese are also to blame because they control 90 % of businesses and less educated pilipino becomes thier slave

Is it true Philippines is richer than Singapore or South Korea?

Colonial mentality that is the main reason leaders are mostly in office to enrich themselves not the nation and whenever there is a nationalist Filipino leader that will truly serve the country they end up either dead or get persecuted by USA such as the late Magsaysay and the present Duterte. Spanish free trade benefit the Spaniards not the Filipinos same with USA colonial era all trade were in favor of the USA not the Filipinos.

Filipino poor because abnoy Aquino family. a.k.a team LP Lucifer Party..

Phillipines is slave to USA that's why.

The video they make said exactly the reason why the Philippines is poor and what your doing now is called pinoy baiting so stop your disgusting

My Filipina gf told me it's hard to get a job in the Philippines because of these ridiculous requirements 😅😅😅😅 and i see it here. There are a lot of poor people here in the Philippines. Beggin' for money and no way to feed themselves. And no organization in the workplace. Everything is on paper.......😅😅😅. And to think they some of them really think they are educated. A lot of th3m are not. But the people are good not all but a lot of them are. You will see your ignorant Filipinos here. Haterzzzz😅

Poor if you're are lazy 😂😂😂

Because Phils is corrupt corrupt corrupt hssst 😡

It's just due to poor quality education, ineffective family planning and corrupt election process. 1. Poor Quality Education. Although it is now Free to enroll for elementary to college, the educational system is not geared towards developing the kids critical thinking and discipline. Rather, it is geared towards producing more lambs for the workforce that rich people will exploit. 2. Ineffective Family Planning. Poor people having way too many kids while rich people having less, thus increasing the gap between the poor and the rich. This also leads to poor development of the kids from the poor family since they cannot be taken care of properly resulting in most of them being a trash of society that contionuously multiply. 3. Stupid Election System. Only rich or famous candidates have a chance to be elected. It is geared towards having money to let more people know about you. This means that no matter how excellent you are, the one to be chosen is the popular one. You'd need to have a deal with the devils (businessmen) to get the funds for election. These are three major things that needs to be corrected. Once its done, most of the country's problem will drastically reduce

Poor but happy and contented with a simple life. Bless are the poor, Jesus said. VIVAT JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kase ang binobito nila puro artista na walang alam 😅😅😅😂 ayaw nila ng bata pero lawyer lol

Philippines is a developing country but to say poor is an understatement. Go visit now there and you'll see progress.

philippine can do better . every country have some problem philippine just needs time. cheer to philippine from India. hope for the better future

5:10 i think this is false. china and the a few philippine islands had already a trade commerce in place even before spain entered the scene. the southern chinese people have a siginficant amount of their citizens already living in one of those islands.

The biggest poverty in Philippines is people's mindset. Their egos and stubbornness refuse to acknowledge their problems.

Greedy people focus on the poverty in the Philippines because it sells well to make money. They always put old pictures on the internet and not the new ones. Singapore got rich quickly because of their laundering money in which coming out now. Today, anyone who thinks that Philippines still all the way poor, please go and visit the country.

Poor???🙄 You just got to the squatter areas. California homelessness is worst than the Philippines. Go to Manila, Iloilo City, Cebu, Davao. What's your point? Singapore is only 1 Island. Philippines is made of 7,600+ islands. Do your research without Biases/ Discriminations.

Why are most foreigners leaving the Philippines? A few of my friends that still live or did live in the Philippines have told me the things that they find make living in the Philippines challenging. These are guys that vary from 30 somethings who came over for a holiday or to work and decided to stay and set up businesses to retirees who were travelling, sometimes with family and decided to stay. Some of the latter are now in their 80s: I lived there, based in Manila from 2015 until 2022 and met many people both ex pats and locals. I found the country both frustrating and charming. Here are my thoughts. You’re never fully accepted into the country. For example during covid a friend who’d lived in the Philippines for over 30 years was told to go home when he arrived home (Scotland) after a trip aboard. You’ll often be viewed as a cash cow and are expected to contribute to everything from local functions to staff and their extended families hospital bills and weddings (check the same person hasn’t died multiple times) but you’ll often get little if anything in return. No respect, no thanks, no loyalty, no bonhomie. The rule of law works against you but not for you. If you do wrong you’ll get big fines and need to employ local lawyers to act on your behalf but if you’re wrongly done by you’ll still need to pay to receive any help. Example, you pay taxes and give money to the community, Barangay, the local police, fire brigade etc but if you have a fire there’ll be demands for payment if you want the fire dealt with and if you’re home is robbed you’ll be expected to hand over some money if you want a real investigation. Bribes, fixer fees and kickbacks are so commonplace that they’re sometimes requested as if they’re nothing out of the ordinary at all. With elderly friends I’ve experienced being threatened at gun point by a driver who almost drove into our table in his heavily tinted SUV in a golf club car park. He opened the door and almost fell out while holding a gun and yelling incoherently. He was completely intoxicated and luckily a passenger restrained him. Another friend went to check up on an unmoving car that was on a traffic island in the middle of the road outside his house at 1am. The intoxicated driver came to and realising that my friend was not Filipino started yelling “You’re not Filipino, I kill you” as he lurched out of the car with a gun in hand. My friend ran away not wanting to give his home address away. Scary stuff for a foreigner and very little chance of any police intervention. If you’re involved in an accident you’ll almost always be at fault, even if you weren’t. I had a motorbike rider ran straight into the wing of my car as I was driving into my workplace car park. He was riding along in the cycling lane and didn’t take notice of the security guard and stop like the rest of the traffic. I was worried about him then about myself as an angry mob who hadn’t even seen the accident gathered. One guy started yelling at me and was getting very aggressive. Thankfully our security guard and a workmate sorted the situation out. The security guard pointed out that the whole incident was on my dash cam and was being recorded on the worksite cameras and my workmate countered his aggressive behaviour with his own. The rider was escorted to the hospital three doors away but didn’t go in. Others tell of stories where one occupant in a car or tricycle has turned into five, all with injuries and where stopping to help when a car in front has veered off of the road has ended up with them being accused of causing the accident. Lesson learnt/learned, be aware that you’re not in your home country and some see you as an easy target. Be wary of trusting too much. You can think that your friend, girlfriend or employee can be trusted because you’ve known them for some time, been good to them, sympathetic to their needs, put their children through school and have helped them through all sorts of problems. The problem is that their loyalty may be swayed by greed or external pressure or even threats. They’re family may pressurise them to borrow money or even steal using guilt and loyalty to family as leverage. Many Filipinos are also regularly in debt and the (illegal) loan shark’s interest rates are high. Money back or else may force an otherwise loyal helper to steal. Then there’s they’re parent’s, brother’s, sister’s, children’s operations, lawyer, drug habit, education m, funeral etc etc. Blood is definitely thicker when a family of 12 are putting the pressure on.

It is cycle of economy that people need also participate to its goal to improve our life here in Philippines,,

Good info!

yes I'm so very much agree bos
