Di man natin gusto ang opinyon ng isang tao may karapatan pa din sya magsalita, liban lang kung ito'y masyado ng personal. Tanong ko lang sa namamahala dito, di po bawal ang mura dito? Maski sa anong linguahe ang mura ay mura. We should maintain some sort of decency here at least. An idea or issue, no matter how obnoxious it is, should be debunked or tackled with an idea or issue, not with a cuss, even masking it in the vernacular. It's outright below the belt! Using bad language is the weapon of the weak.

treysdad said Just a thought..... ...

I think we should not underestimate the achievements of individuals in the field of sports or culture and the arts.
These individual achievements are putting the country in the eyes and consciousness of other people in other nations.

I remember when I used to be sent to other countries by my former company in the Philippines. When I introduce myself as coming from the Philippines branch, I get questions of "Where is that ?". I will then usually say Manila and they get it because it is in the history subjects. But many do not know where the Philippines is.

But now because of these individuals (Pacquiao, Nepomuceno, Reyes, Pineda, Pempengco, etc.), the Philippines and the Filipinos are getting noticed.
Maybe you don't know it but the hard work and determination of these individuals reflect the Filipino character and work attitude in other people's mind. That is why many prefer Filipino workers.

Incidentally, many of the emerging economies, example in this region, are having naturalized sportsmen and women so they can gain medals and championships in different sports diciplines. Why is that? So their country can be noticed in the world stage.

We have our homegrown talents so I think it is just right for us to revel in their achievements because they are putting our country and our race in the world stage. I think of them a pioneers breaking the barriers for others.

alecscotland said the REAL filipino achievers. ...

The following article makes one wonder even more at our dismal ability to capitalise on the natural wealth of our country. With all these accomplishments, why are we still like this? Maybe because the Filipino people in general have no appreciation for anything intellectual or, for that matter, anything to do with hard work and inspiration.

In fact, we should be a bit more hesitant about trumpeting our country's being host to the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). It only highlights this sad fact. We went from food security to food dependency over the last 2-3 decades. It's like a student failing an arithmetic exam even after being allowed to use a calculator!

We were showered with more than our fair share of blessings. Yet we all but squandered the wealth of the land and our gifts from God. The Jews fought and wandered for centuries and all they got for their trouble was a piece of desert land surrounded by hostile kingdoms. And yet they are far more prosperous than we are. Why?

Maybe we should face the following realities about ourselves:

1. We don't have the commercial acumen to turn our "inventions" and "discoveries" into competitively marketable products and services. Multinationals do that for us.

2. We exhibit our best traits (including our much-touted "ingenuity") abroad. In such cases, it therefore follows that what Filipinos accomplish, say, in the US, belongs to America and not the the Philippine nation. The Philippine nation has failed to provide the environment for Filipinos to excel.

You be the judge:

alecscotland said proud to be pinoy??? hahahaha! ...

We cannot be proud of something that we don’t have, are not, or will never have, much less something that does not mean anything (like being proud for pride’s sake, for instance).

To therefore understand why all these calls to be “proud to be Pinoy” seem to ring hollow nowadays, we have to revisit the essence of this pride we “should” be feeling for the Philippines — the achievement, assets, and added-value to humanity that should be underpinning said pride.

What is an ASSET of our country that we can be proud of?

One undisputable Pinoy asset I can think of is people. We have more than 90 million of them. But what is the VALUE of this asset? Does sheer number alone add value?

Sweden has one tenth the population of the Philippines. But its output in terms of what it contributes to human achievement utterly dwarfs that of the Philippines.

To put it even more darkly, what would humanity miss if the Philippine Islands were to suddenly be swallowed up by the Pacific Ocean, never to be seen again?

Before we get too outraged by such a suggestion, keep in mind that this is something that similarly defines your existence in a business organisation. What value do you add to the business? If you were to not show up to work one day, would anybody notice?

It seems, therefore, that we are sitting on an asset that does not deliver commensurate value — just like all the oil in the world would be worthless to these desert kingdoms if the internal combustion engine had not been invented. Unless we resolve to turn our sheer numbers into sheer strength, we will be nothing more than an over-populated Third World island nation whose instability is an increasing liability to the neighbourhood.

Note that we digress. Ironically this tendency to digress illustrates the point I try to make here. “Pride” in one’s country is a complex beast. Much as many out there would like us to think, it is not a simple matter of making a conscious decision to be “proud to be Pinoy”.

Oo lahat sila magaling at may naibahagi sa mundo at kulang pa yan marami pa... pero karamihan nasan sila ngayon? nakukuha ba nilang tulungan ang sarili nilang bayan ngayon? hindi! kasi lahat sila eh nasa abroad doon nila ibinubuhos ang kanilang talento kaya uma-asenso ang ibang bansa.
Oo aminado ako na lahat ng kaalaman natin eh tinuro o nagmula sa mga dayuhan pero sino ang nakikibnabang ng lahat ng iyon ngayon hindi bat sila?
gaya mo may napatunayan ka naba? para iaangat ang sarili mong bayan? kung sakali bigyan mo nga ako ng isang halimbawa!.
Wag nating isisi sa gobyerno kung bakit tayo nandito abroad dahil ginusto natin ito.
Mahirap ang ganyan patunayan muna natin sa sarili natin kung pwede ka at ka proud,proud ka sa iba lalo na sa kalahi mo hindi yung puro salita lang at wala namang ginagawang aksiyon.
opinion lang po.

alecscotland said kasagutan para kay mikepusa ...

brother mike malalim ang iyong mga mungkahi at hindi kita kayang sagutin sa isang thread lang. why don't you challenge yourself with new & realistic ideas. try to visit www.getrealphilippin... & you'll find a different view of your beliefs.

especially, download the e-book getreal vol-1. if you would, let me know your comments.

oh by the way, many filipino great inventors were practically ignored by our government. maybe because their achievements is too great for them... so hindi mo sila masisi if they want to take their "greatness" to other countries. hindi man sila nag contribute sa pilipinas, at least nag contribute sila sa humanity di ba? their inventions saved lives, economies, & a whole lot else.

lastly, ang sinasabi mong bayan ay dapat i-angat nila ang sarili nila at wag sila umasa sa mga bayani! ikaw mikepusa, where do you see yourself five years from now? ang buhay mo ba ay naka bitin sa iyong employment contract? eh paano ka makakatulong sa bayan mo nyan?

alecscotland said sounds interesting mikepusa... ...

hmmm, you sound like a very interesting fellow. i don't think sharing your achievements will sound "mayabang". for starters it could spark inspiration for others right? i actually started a thread months back inviting filipinos to share their achievements... only three responded.

i would like to see more of my kababayan to share whatever achievements & contributions they have at work or within their communities. i mean, kung talagang meron hindi naman masama i-kwento di ba?

good day!

JAVI said Alec, this is interesting ...

We don't have to look too far to find cultural success stories. Right under our noses, the Filipino-Chinese community had gone from Third Class Citizenry to Captains of Industry. Although this phenomenon is by no means unique to the Philippines, we like other Third World cultures, have been on the front row to a self-development show that we have slept through for centuries. And during our waking hours, we as a people focused our efforts on mediocre and corrupt politicking and self-pity activism.

So how does one explain an ethnic underclass that succeeds in hurdling prejudice, poverty, and cultural isolation to turn their ghettoes into today's prime real estate while the indigenous people bred chaos, mutual oppression, and decay? In this light, any kind of excuse is invalidated. Bad governance and lack of education are the top scapegoats, for example. They simply beg the question: the Chinese community was with us through countless corrupt and inept administrations, they had to register their businesses in the same public offices, and they paid taxes to the same government. Furthermore, they landed on our shores, speaking not a word of English or Tagalog. Now, their volunteer fire brigade is far more reliable (and honest) than the government-run force.

Enough books and studies have been made on Chinese culture to help anyone figure out why things are this way. This does not mean, that we have to undertake a massive effort to analyse Philippine culture to figure out how we move forward from here. The bottom line is that the Chinese community in the Philippines is a shining example of the precept that we, as a people, have not worked hard enough at overcoming obstacles to development.

yes the filipino-chinese should serve as an inspiration, that everything is possible once you start to get real.
