Only In the Philippines 2013

3 babies are born every minute of the day and night or 1.5 million babies born yearly. It means not the spread of health and sanitation; nor the growth and maturity of civilization. It simply means that millions of our women are more than willing to produce not nutritious goodies to benefit the Filipino community, but to produce only more babies to benefit the priesthood industry, pharmaceutical industry, education industry, and the industry of religious insanity down here for the greater glory of a sick divinity up there. In this already 21st century, formative years in school is still about WHAT to believe; not about HOW to think. Thus, poverty in our country, traditionally, continue to be poverty of the worst kind: poverty of the mind and heart. If you wish to learn more about how sick we are as the Sick Man of Asia - you can read it published daily in the Philippine Star, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila Bulletin, and in other major newspapers in our country. Readers are made to laugh, not think! A convicted felon in jail can legally vote during election; but what is even more legal is that a convicted felon out of jail is allowed to run for congress. In the recent election, all of the 12 candidates who made it to the senate are all maka-dios. All faithful to the Lord. They therefore thanked the Lord first and then thanked second the people who voted for them. After all, only the Lord and the people can forgive them of their upcoming sins and crimes. Free Will does not mean the will to study, read, learn, explore, investigate, question, experiment, examine, analyze, or the freedom to think. It only means that we are free to believe anything we want to believe. And it does not matter whether they are or true or not. We Filipinos have nothing great going on for us except a Jewish Savior - the Son of Jewish Lord, born in a foreign land more than 2,000 years ago. This is the same Lord who preached: "Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Parents love the Lord more than they love their children. And due to a sick system of education during formative years in school, children learn to love the Lord more than they love their parents. Indeed, self-destruction is the worst tragedy of the Filipino as a family. No doubt greed is insatiable. In the Philippines, however, among the corrupt politicians in the government, greed is not only insatiable, but also negotiable, transferable, pardonable, fashionable, and indeed, respectable. Unless managed by an efficient government, foreign investment in the Philippines will only amount to the same old recycled testament. Instead of growth as a people and maturity as a nation, there is only the same old history of poverty of the vast majority in our blessed by God country. If you were an atheist or a nonbeliever of the faith you are known to be a man devoid of intelligence. A man bereft of moral fiber. A loser, and a failure. An evil man who should be jailed or publicly ostracized. If, however, you were a devout believer of the faith, or a Born Again Christian, or a famous maka-dios personality - you are highly qualified to run for office in the government. Specially if you are good, even if good for nothing, The bible is, indeed, holy. It still teaches Filipinos to believe that the only holy thing of lasting value are those found in the heavenly world of God up there. Our country down here should be treated as something low, unworthy, and depraved. After all, this life is merely a stopover on our journey to the next life. Therefore the less love, less attention, and less affection placed on our country; and, at the same time, more love, more attention, and more affection are placed on God's kingdom - the better for all of us; especially as we are the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. Millions of Filipinos are now living in foreign countries - we are there working as "employees." When those foreigners are living in our country, they are here as our "employers." It is the sick reflection of our sick system of education. God-fearing security guards are needed to assist our God-fearing policemen to guard the entrance of government buildings, hospitals, banks, schools, colleges, universities, shopping malls, residential buildings, hotels, motels, bars, night clubs, bookstores, drug stores, residential villages, movie theaters, restaurants, churches, cathedrals, public parks, museums, airports, harbors, MRT-LRT stations, bus stations, halls of justice, courts of law, barangay's office, mayor's office, governor's office, and the entrance of the NBI building also guarded by security guards. I ask: are we really that blessed by God being the only Catholic country in Asia since 400 years ago? Poch Suzara
