    Philippines is a great touristic destination, perfect place for a short vacation. But not to consider living here. Every foreigner in the beginning (including myself) think life is GREAT in Philippines but after a while you realize there are a lot of inconveniences, things which annoy and bother us, poverty is extremely high with beggars/homeless everywhere, lots of air dust b'coz of insane traffic, and tricycle/jeepney noise/pollution are alarmingly dangerous for people's health, not to mention slow customer services everywhere in restaurants with long lines/ queue. And the worst fact is that people don't take their life seriously here in Philippines, the families are broken, husband and wife legally separated in many cases, or they cheat each other, abuse each other, there is single moms all over the place, barefoot children playing in the streets. EXTREME POVERTY

      A garbage collector in California starts at $60,000 US per year, and up to $77,000. What's the salary of a garbage collector in Manila? Does he have advantage benefits, a health insurance, a retirement pension?

      I live in Philippines for quite some time as well, generally more than half of people I encounter are okay but there's so many poor and uneducated is surreal. I have random kids walk up to me who do not speak single word of english begging for either money or point at some food stall asking for free meal. Then I have random adults walk up to me and start selling unknown medicine, sim card or stolen mobile phone. Just pure chaos of the society on thin line
      The infrastructure are also the major problem, full of cars in a high density populated urban city filled with slum in every outskirt corners. The public transport are terribly outdated and dirty, no walkable path, bad polluted air due to high population cars than extremely little amount of trees, they don't realize that all these will cause harm to people health in long term. Once I went to the beach and saw trash, I post a feedback on social media to make them notice. What I get was bunch of hypocritical nationalist response lashing out on me for "talking Philippines on bad side" and tell me to go back to my country which I did anyway. I feel like majority of filipinos had lose their sense on their nation future, when you live there for quite sometime you will realize their society is like walking on the egg shell and most people are in the frog in the well situation, when they look up and see the circle shape of the sky thinking that is all facts of life

      @@joesama3282 You read in my mind. I had the exact same experience than you described. Filos have nothing in their shorts. They are ko-ward to the bone. They don't give a crap about their conditions (when I say "Conditions", I mean EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING SUUUUUX DOWN THERE, and they just don't give a sht). All they care about is their reputation -> Not losing the face. Saving face is much more important than the living conditions they live in which they do absolutely FOQ ALL to improve. It's always: 'Go ba ck to ur country', 'we're not perfect', the US has the same problems (which is absolutely false).
      Well you know what buddy.. These kowards live in the conditions they really deserve. Electing Duterte and baby Marcos tells A LOT about them.
      Pino mentality: Why would I bother improving my country when I can just move abroad and use other people's systems? Then they go back to the Phil after more than 10 years in a civilized country and continue with their bad habits like they learnt nothing at all.

    I am from Canada. I have permanently settled in the Philippines since 2019. Here are my seven (7) rules for getting out of poverty:
    [1] Never get married
    [2] Never have kids
    [3] Never practice a religion
    [4] Get a good education
    [5] Work hard to develop a career and/or a business
    [6] Save your money, invest your money in stocks and bonds
    [7] Never give any money to any relatives for any reason
    Sadly, Filipinos do not follow ANY of these seven rules.

      Poverty in the Philippines had worsen in 2016 when Philippines borrowed 350 billion US dollars from China in order to build fancy subways, skyways, expensive dolomite sand beaches all designed for the eyes and to impress tourists and boost shopping centers but with no real return for the real need of the citizens.
      From 2016 to 2021 not a single irrigation dam was built, not a single copra and rice drying facility was built, not a single farm to highway road was added, all the government loans were wasted on fancy things.

      @@gamhananalanka It seems like it's here to stay and no real "change" has been made... Just intergenerational poverty per usual past 50 years... And will continue.
      If the country were to improve by your thoughts of investing in agriculture, highways etc. which IS IMPORTANT (to a degree), it will NOT change the mindset/culture of its people.... it would make them less hungry... It wouldn't make them more educated, disciplined or highly skilled professionals.. it would make a certain bracket of people (who are not registered income tax payers) be able to afford more JUST to survive.
      The money borrowed seems a lot, but we need it to be competitive and thats investment. There's other countries who are operating at a very very high debt to GDP ratio.. so really, the survival of the fittest are the financialy educated, not the 1 day millionaires who spend and don't have money for a rainy day. When housewife in the 80s slowed spending to pay off debts, she discovered years later we need to spend more!
      More people = more resources. If at the parent level if we are not planning ahead for the childrens future and not with the proper bedrock for family growth, then the country will never improve... And its been like that forever..... Economy IS GROWING year after year but the population is growing even faster... So its 5 steps forward, 6 steps back. Vietnam surpassed PH in GDP per capita.
      If covid pandemic and the current global inflation doesn't teach society as a whole, especially in the Philippines... The next generations will be worse off than before.
      There's this documentary called Peak Oil how OPEC countries population growth grew based on resources and infrastructure.... How come population growth exponentially grew faster than resources in the Philippines?? And we see it at a family level of an average of 4.6 persons per family... While first world countries are 3.7. Is education to blame or culture? Surely we've all heard some "higher ups" speak to the masses to be "rich" with children... Lol

Sex education, affordable housing, affordable schools and the creation of industrial jobs are so much needed, official corruption must be pulled out by its roots, all the way, from top to bottom to start with, maybe then, the average filipino may have a chance not only to survive, but to prosper.

    These are results of a bad constitution of protectionism. The fear mongering spread by clueless politicians, that China will buy everything if foreign business ownership and land ownership is allowed - has direct consequences. Now 1 in 6 people is in poverty that's despicable. It will take a smart president, a new person who understands policy making, economics and why protectionism is just bad policy. How can an economy brag about trafficking citizens abroad to be nurses, seaman and maids. Countries which are properly run create jobs locally, attract investment, grow their economies at macro and micro scales and are stable. Not Philippines especially now with denialists who are pro national.
