Hopeless case na nga ba ang Pilipinas?

[ctan]

wouldn't that count as part of the country's case?

hi janjan! :-) exactly, it just but a PART of the country's state. a nation is not defined by its ills and cancers, but rather, by its people, culture, politics, religiosity, etc. A conglomeration of every contributory factor to simply say it.

hi caloy! IMHO, it does not justify the fact that there is still hope for the Philippines only because there are hopeful Filipinos. Hope will always be a cliche until it is being realized...

but isn't hope intangible itself? when you realize hope, it would not be hope anymore. fulfillment? achievement? success? name whatever you want to call it. but hope? it is a drive. it is a ray of light in a dark and gloomy room. the presence of hopeful Filipinos would not make the Philippines hopeless. :-)

It is not enough to just have hope however. There must also be action. Hoping just for the sake of not being hopeless is pitiful.

I somewhat agree with this carpediem. A drive not put into action is really pathetic. However, I would have to commend those who individually hope for the Philippines. It is a good start. And if hope is genuine, it will definitely translate into positive action. :-)

hopeless are for those who do not dream anymore that someday it will be better

hopeless are for those who have no faith

hopeless are for those who don't trust

I remember the song GOD OF THE CITY by Michael W. Smith

Very inspirational song para sa ating bansa..
lagi namin kinakanta sa church..
its like a declaration song.

GREATER THINGS HAVE YET TO COME
GREATER THINGS ARE STILL TO BE DONE IN THIS CITY..

Sinabi ng isang kilalang businessman na ang Pilipinas ay hopeless case na raw. Ang klase ng ekonomiya, pulitika etc. sa Pilipinas ay repleksyon daw ng daan-daang taon na pananakop ng ibat-ibang bansa. According to him, napakahirap ng baguhin ng Pilipinas dahil naka-ugat na sa ating kultura ang corruption, kawalang disiplina etc. Ngunit may pag-asa naman daw and Pinas, kaya nga lang ay hindi pa sa ngayong panahon. Kailangan daw ng daan taon para baguhin ang mga sistema na meron sa Pilipinas at meron sa mga Pilipino na patuloy na nagpapahirap sa ating lahat.

Ang dahilan daw kung bakit ganito ang Pilipinas ay dahil sa ilang daan taong ng pananakop kaya kung gusto nating baguhin ang Pilipinas, kailangan din ng daan taon para mangyari ito.

sa iyong palagay, hopeless case na nga ba ang Pilipinas?

what this country needs are:
1. a president like Lee Kuan Yew
2. a vice president like Rodrigo Duterte
3. a senate president like Nelson Mandela
4. a speaker of the house like Miriam Defensor Santiago
5. a secretary of defense like Moshe Dayan
6. and a doj secretary like Winston Churchill
