Reasons why Pinoys won’t succeed:- We lack discipline.
- Crab mentality is part of our culture.
- We do not learn form past mistakes.
- We vote not based on merit but on popularity.
- We are a tsismis (gossip) loving nation.
- We have no road etiquette.
- Our politicians are corrupt and selfish.
- We complain a lot but lack the initiative to make a change.
- The justice system seldom works.
- We embrace the “Bahala Na” (leave it to fate) attitude.
Reasons why Pinoys can overcome anything:
- We are resilient.
- Religion and spirituality play huge parts in our day to day life.
- We are utterly optimistic.
- We find humor in everything.
- Resourcefulness and creativity run in our DNA.
- We are always hopeful.
- We are survivors.
- Utang na loob (reciprocity) is a highly regarded trait.
- We have strong family ties.
- In times of dire need, the “Bayanihan Spirit” (altruism) is alive and well.
Which side are you on?

sakit talaga ng pinoy yan and they always blame the leaders of the country. daming nagsasabi na corrupt daw ang mga nasa pwesto pero sila panay bili ng pirated dvds. di ba corrupt din yon?
the dong, Yun na yun. Hehe
I'd like to say I'm on the positive side, but that would be lying. I hate that our leaders steal with impunity. Ang kakapal ng mukha. Grrr...
wendy, Anyone in particular na todo hate mo? Hehe
Hehe, si Erap! At ang mahal nating Presidente ngayon.
wendy, Nyahaha. Gloria is the best. Hehe. Kakaiba talaga sya!
Proud to be Pinoy!!!
gillboard, Amen.
That list of reasons for why Pinoys won't succeed actually applies to ALL nations.
Growing pains for a nation that is only 110 years old.
the everyday expat, I have faith in my country.
regardless, i love my country and i love being filipino!
by the by tinapay, when you view the blog link on this post, not through the comment page, you have a different profile picture. kaw ba yan? parang ang chaka. sorry.
syempre the positive traits, although i must agree with your observations.
being positive starts from ourselves.. whether we are surrounded by negative people or not, to do what is right will always triumph in the end.. proud to be pilipino, palaging positibo! :)

feeling ko kasi, di nila ginagamit utak e.. maxadong go with the flow.
raYe, Hay. Tama ka dyan. Hehe
i guess lahat naman may positive at negative. but you're right, it all depends on which side you are on. btw, wala pa ba yung prizes sayo? yung to davao dumating na eh?
prinsesamusang, Check mo mamaya! FB kita.
everybody is capable of being on both sides. if only 60-70% of us practice the traits sa good side, the personal efforts will become a collective one that's truly influential for the whole country.
random student, Bayanihan dapat!

Baka dun ako sa pessimistic side. Nevertheless, I still love Bonsai. But then again, don't we all? :P
andy, Love to hate. Tama, diba? Hehe
puwede pong paki-analyze na lang kung saan side ako?
Pinoy ako kasi...
-nila-lock ko ang discipline
- i learn from my mistakes pero hanggang mind lang yon walang practice
-bat ko naman iboboto ang hindi ko kilala?
- hindi lahat ng changes ay nakakabuti
-I embrace bahala na si Batman hehehe, sungab sa oportunidad.
- minsan ang pagiging optimistic nagiging unrealistic
-sorry wala akong ka-humor-humor
-at yang Utang na loob na yan sinasabi pag naiinis na di ba?
"Utang na loob naman, linisin mo naman ang bahay mo!" hehehe
whatchu think?
hoshi, You are in a league all by yourself. Hehe
