The Philippines

The Philippines was once the most glorious place on earth. It had beautiful beaches, rivers, lakes, mountains and forests. The Filipino was once the most handsome, intelligent, humorous and hard working people. They travelled around the world and have been known to be the carriers of peace and goodwill to all men. For centuries, the Philippines was known as the “Pearl of Orient.” Today, however, it is famous as the “Payatas of the Orient.” Indeed, there is only that one same ugly problem that, in the modern world, continues to keep the Philippines poor and backward: the college educated men and women installed to be the leaders of the nation.
