Politics

There's an interesting discussion in Filipino Voices about changing 'the system' to improve the Philippines. It's well worth a read:

• Because We Can
• Because We Must
• Must we?
• We Must Resist
• Because We Can Change the Dynamics of the Game

Personally, I don't think things will improve until certain aspects of Filipino society changes. You can alter the system as much as you like but if people approach things the same way, the end result will be no different.
