ee Kuan Yew on

Philippines

“Something was missing, a gel to hold society together. The people at the top, the elite
mestizos, had the same detached attitude to the native peasants, as the mestizos in
their haciendas in Latin America had towards their peons. They were two different
societies; those at the top lived a life of extreme luxury and comfort, while the
peasants scraped a living… they had many children because the Church discouraged
birth control. The result was increasing poverty.”

Culture of the Filipino people.

“The Philippines had a rambunctious press but it did not check corruption. Individual
pressmen could be bought, as could many judges. Something had gone seriously
wrong.

“The difference lies in the culture of the Filipino people. It is a soft, forgiving culture.
Only in the Philippines could a leader like Ferdinand Marcos, who pillaged his country
for over twenty years, still be considered for a national burial. Insignificant amounts
of the loot have been recovered, yet his wife and children were allowed to return and
engage in politics. They supported the winning presidential and congressional
candidates with their considerable resources and reappeared in the political and
social limelight after the 1998 election that returned President Joseph Estrada.”

Philippines

Culture of the Filipino people.

The difference lies in the culture of the Filipino people. It is a soft, forgiving culture.
“The Philippines had a rambunctious press but it did not check corruption of
government elected politicians & officials and offices like LTO, BIR, BOC, pending
projects of DPWH and LGU. Individual pressmen could be bought, as could many
judges. Something had gone seriously wrong.

NO NO NO to send a signal to other service providers that

there will be no second chance. They SHOULD policed their
ranks 24/7. Matagal ng nangyayari iyan ngayon lamang
nabigyan ng pansin. At ngayon lamang nagkalakas ng loob
ang mga pasaherong nabiktima na magreklamo at e post sa
social media ang ginawang kabalastugan.
Discussions in the Philippines are mostly filled with
polemical (controversial) sophistry (dishonesty) and showbiz
scandals often focused on insignificant and irrelevant
concerns.

We SHOULD have often focused on the most practical and

most important points for the country's best economic,
political, technological interest & advancements.

So many ills of Filipino society due to our own

stupidity and inutile or dysfunctional state of mind.

When will we achieve a model society composed of

renewed Filipinos in terms of intelligence and good moral
values? This is ideal, however, this will never happen at
all. Sorry to say this because we are doomed to be
insensitive to be leaning towards the path of perfection.

The Philippines had a rambunctious press but it did

not check corruption. Individual pressmen could be
bought, as could many judges. Something had gone
seriously wrong. Why FOCUSED on insignificant and
irrelevant concerns.

We SHOULD have often focused on the most

practical and most important points for the country's
best economic, political, technological interest &
advancements.

So many ills of Filipino society due to our own

stupidity and inutile or dysfunctional state of mind.

“I believe what a country needs to develop is discipline more than

democracy.”
Lee Kuan Yew’s suggestion that discipline would solve the
Philippines’ problems and that Filipinos on all sides should stay
away from continuing to roll the dice of democracy is a perception
of difference, a perception of difference that doesn’t suit the
Philippines at all.
