Wrong again, Behind Asia (China)! A country heavy on factories nowadays rely on exports, and exports have been down due to world consumption being very low. Service in BPO, IT and remittances are the best way for a country to make money when Western countries with declining labor are seeking to make up their low labor force with Filipino services in all levels of work. As usual we expect insults from you as you keep falsely claiming the Philippine education, infrastructure and governance as lacking, but on the contrary Philippine education is the best in Asia (and why it’s workers and professionals are sought after), it’s infrastructure are now top of the line and getting better and its governance is way better than your China. You can see if China allows people to leave, they would lose every citizen in their country. Filipinos on the other hand, would go back home after temporary jobs are completed, vacation as often as possible back home if their jobs are permanent, and many more retire home after their careers. What does that tell you?

Donald Duck, Parliamentary form of government for the Philippines? In other words the Philippines should have a king and under him a Prime Minister who leads members of the Parliament? Only the dictators Marcos wanted that form of government so he can be the King. He would have control of the Justice System and the whole Parliament? Do you know what you’re saying? Quack quack?

@CryptoInvest-LunaticCapital , Where does the Judiciary fit in? Where are the separate branches of Government with division of powers?

@CryptoInvest-LunaticCapital , you didn’t answer my question. How is the Parliament separated from the Judiciary? How is there an an Executive Branch when the PM is more like the Speaker of the House? Why would you eliminate the Senate when they are supposedly the intellectual group who scrutinizes the bills that are passed; although you are going to contest some of the Senators’ intellectually. Yes, there are those who do not qualify as senator and that’s the imperfection of the system. Despite what you say that they mostly take vacations all over the world, your assertion seem to be questionable. The three branch of government and its Senate can still be made better rather than totally change it. The Parliament was formed after the English Civil War And was a separate power from the Monarchy. Under this system, the King was still the King and the Parliament was a body who spoke for the people. The Brits have been forming this by making sultans as Kings (aka Brunei, Malaysia and copied by Thailand). I believe the Middle Eastern countries under their Sultanate were formed that way. The Brits Monarchy made sure that enough kingdoms existed to justify their own existence.

@CryptoInvest-LunaticCapital , how will the Malacañang chief executive exist? The Parliament’s President is the King! Its Judiciary’s function is nebulous since the monarch has a big say on judicial matters despite their claims to the contrary? Furthermore, any form of government can be corrupted, as you can see Parliamentary governments are not immune to corruption in the real world. No, you are not making sense!

@Batang90s143 , who would even ban the peaceful Philippines?

@Batang90s143 , Using Russia as an example to the Philippines is like comparing apples to oranges. Russia’s relation to the Deep State and to the Conservative West is much too complicated.

@Batang90s143 , as long as the Philippines is fine with the US, Japan and SK there’s nothing to worry about. Remember these countries are in need of Philippine labor services which are very crucial for them. The US navy alone has 20% Filipinos in their military service. In fact, many other countries should fear the Philippines if their labor service is boycotted. Wasn’t that UAE or Qatar who was deprived of labor service by Duterte?

@Glenn Freo , that’s because the Constitution had been altered several times. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were local billionaires and even China involved with the changes by manipulating political leaders. The best thing to do is remove the changes so it can be back to its original form.

@abdulwahidmdtahir3660 , don’t give me that UK-made ranking system. They never had the equivalent of the Catholic missionaries to convert and educate their colonies. They’re the worst Protestants who ruled under a selfish monarchy and treated their colonials like dogs. On the other hand, Spain, Portugal and France had their Catholic missionaries do conversions and education. England and the Dutch had their big English and Dutch Companies who thought nothing positive for their colonials. Tell me how they educated your Malaysia and Singapore? After their independence they had to put together their own “education” and used Filipino teachers in core subjects including English. I always wondered why they pronounced their English words like the neutral Philippine pronunciation, not British. It’s easy to see who taught them their English.

@abdulwahidmdtahir3660 , wrong! It’s because of their good disposition why they are sought after, not because they’re cheap labor. Countries pay for the going rate in their countries. Furthermore, the lack of good labor and lack of available labor that prompts countries to hire Filipinos.

@abdulwahidmdtahir3660 , soon when the world will switch to EVs totally and the use of gasoline becomes minimal, it would be you, Abdul looking for jobs in the Philippines. The Philippines will be the World banker because of their 1- million tons of gold and you’ll be looking to be a sweeper and mopper in one of their banks.
