hariibon...if you're intentions are really about "changing" the so-called "culture of yours", then you should have posted a POSITIVE view on HOW to change it, rather than GENERALIZING the entire Population of Filipinos and giving us a Bad Impression.

I am a Filipino, and damn Proud of it...but the way you generalize US of having the "culture" was as if you know every filipino. Think first of HOW YOU START A TOPIC, coz that will reflect HOW YOU THINK OF YOURSELF. If you start a conversation with all the Negatives, then ask for a positive reply, then you are mistaken. What you give, you'll receive. I don't have the NINGAS KUGON "culture" because i was RAISED not to have it. So, don't GENERALIZE it as a CULTURE, coz if you see it in yourself, then your parents RAISED you to become one.

It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
