I should wish that we Filipino writers would begin to deal more, without fear, with what is really keeping us Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and the Philippines morally backward as a nation.
Consider a deeper horror: everything is a FAILURE in our country. Except Christianity. It has been and still is the one and only great SUCCESS in the Philippines.
We Filipinos couldn't care less about our sins, crimes, corruption, prostitution,
poverty, mediocrity, ill-health, lack of sanitation, social insanity, political stupidity, economic depravity, and indeed, the horrors of our population explosion.
Under Christian values and beliefs, in this already 21st century, all that we care about is God's promise of a better life to come after we are all dead to start to enjoy eternal salvation in his so-called kingdom of heaven. Poch Suzara
