Even Adobo vs Sinigang was a debate. The longest reigning food debate in the PH. 1940-Present

Just barely a century after this wonderful film, this golden islands in the blue seas fell to the cesspit. What an unfortunate future we got today. Today, undisciplined people, unorganized urban areas, overpopulation and rising poverty led to what we are now.
It justifies the phrase "Good Old Days" because we live in the shitty Philippines today unlike before when we were considered the wealthiest country in Southeast Asia. If 2010s have Singapore, the 1950s and 1960s had the Philippines. It's a different world now.

THWB the Philippine President now president Duterte is doing his best to deal with corruption, criminals and drugs. Filipinos are optimistic that changes will come in the future.
The reason why the Philippines became unfavorable is because of the past administrations or bad leadership of past presidents.
The Filipinos now are fortunate to have a new president who is strict and rules with a will to fight corruption, drugs and criminals.
And because of President Duterte being discipline and tough in his leadership, we are noticing changes. Thanks to a good leader with knowledge of governance.

Only yesterday I was talking for a few minutes with the cashier at Walmart. I recognized her accent as Ilocano and after that I could hardly get away. My dad represented something which used to exist in American culture but is now just a historical footnote. He was in the US Navy for 31 years and married 7 different Filipino women. Yep. Starting in 1959 before it was accepted culture in America for a Caucasian to be married to an Asian, he was. It's one reason he stayed in the Navy so long, because there were other people like him where he and his wive(s) were accepted, not shunned.

Face the truth. The anti drug campaign is a complete failure, even Duterte himself said that the numbers of drug addicts went up not down during his term, yet a lot of innocent children were punished by loosing a parent due to the killings. The deals he wants to give to chinese businesses have a strong smell of corruption by themselves, having higher interests than loans from other countires such as Japan but then coming with those "only Chinese companies and workers allowed for the construction work" clauses. And then the Marcos plunder family and Gloria "godmother of corruption" Arroyo are his allies.

What the heck happened? The Manila in the 60's still looks beautiful despite losing most of its beauty during the war. It looks so different now.
