Why the Philippines isn’t Developing ?

"One Love! PINAS!

Ever wonder why Philippines don’t grow through the years, although it was one of the rising Asian countries during 1950 or 60’s.  ?   According to some hospitality experts or travel advisor Philippines is somehow nice country and still millions and millions tourist come and go. Considering that tourism can help the country to grow or develop. What these people don’t know the deep fact of the Philippines has not growing because three reason. The negative side of cultures and traditions of the Philippines. The Catholic Church interfering with the government.  Having a political unrest. This are three main factors why the Philippines isn’t developing.

The Filipino people are known for having different kinds of culture and tradition.  For example, Filipinos are hospitable people; they give respect for old people and Being helpful to other in need.  They are also two negative cultures that can still apply why the Philippines isn’t developing, which are being crab-mentality and the “Filipino Time”. Filipinos are tending to have a crab mentality attitude. Imagine a basket of crabs climbing to top but all crabs are pulling down each other. The Filipinos tend to be like crabs if  a person he/she is on the another person will drag he/she  to the bottom be on top. The Filipinos are also known having a lack of respect in time. The maximum thing time of being late is 5 minutes.(in other culture). The Filipinos they don’t mind if you’re late an hour or more.  These two negative cultures should be removed, because it does make any good. The Filipinos should help each other going to the top not dragging down each other. They should also have the discipline or respect the time and other people’s time.  

The Philippines are known for being a conservative-catholic country. Sometimes being conservative-catholic are tend to break the boundaries between the church and the government.  The Catholic Church in the Philippines are always interfering what the government decision are. A big example is the “RH BILL”.’(aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. ) The church said it would be like “abortion” and it is against the Bible.  They should check reality. That’s why the Philippines is over-populated and most of the populated are in the slums areas. No food or a good shelter to live on.  The church should not interfere too much what the government do or make a bill. It is also against the bible, the Vatican and the whole Catholic Church to interfere with politics.
