BTW - we have similar issues in Canada as well - why would I have to visit the Philippines to be able to understand what is happening in 90% of the developed world?
The Philippines is a beautiful country with many good people too - why not concentrate on them? Or at least take action to help those who are influenced by the harmful afffects of smoking and alcohol. I understand you are very concerned about your family - I've seen similar circumstances in my own, but I don't denigrate my entire country because of some (the minority) who are facing challenges of their own choosing.
