I was watching Balitanghali at GMA Newstv few hours ago and I can't understand why most Filipinos blame the government of whatever happens in their lives. I am aware that upon writing this, I will probably receive negative criticisms.
We are all aware that poverty in the Philippines is on large scale. Everybody knows we are in a third world country!These large scale of people below the poverty line if not always, often blame the government of being poor. Why always the government? Why always the president? Are they doing something for their lives to get out from that scenario? I think not! Because they still have the guts to bear many children despite the fact that they can't even feed themselves! It's been a long time since we were given democracy and I know that was most people wanted to have. Freedom to do everything; journalism, working abroad, putting up a business etc. I am thankful also for the democracy given to us for I can write right now. But why is it that most of us are still complaining and blaming the government for the disease of our country? Isn't it that we are also contributing to the disease of the country? If there are problems in the government, we go out, shout for our rights and rally. What if the time that the government is facing problems, we unite and help? Isn't it better?
The latest news was the three Filipinos executed in China. I think the government did something for them. Vice president Binay even went to China for them. And yet still other people blame the government of not doing anything. Come on! What do you want them to do? Do you want them to start a war against China? Did the government send these three Filipinos to go to China? No! Their only mistake is they inherited the problems from other leaders decades ago. We have to bear in mind that the president alone can't solve all these problems or the government itself. We have to unite if we want change. This is the concept that is lacking in the Filipino people after People Power I. UNITY is very important for the prosperity of a country. If we will just remove CRAB MENTALITY in our society, we will probably progress step by step and we will probably eradicate corruption soon.

People especially Filipinos are already used to that kind of practice. They use the government as an escape goat for everything even if in reality, there is no one to blame but themselves.
It is just irritating to watch these people complaining. The government did not push them to go out of the country and if there is something wrong happened to them, they want the government to help them.
