The Philippines remains the underdog of the international community: Often neglected, and not given too much attention.
Now, we all know to solve that problem: Only through UNLEARNING what was taught by the older generation about taboo topics, such...

The concept of "Overseas Filipino Worker," originally should mean, SKILLS TRANSFER.
Believe it or not, the number of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) increased during the time of former strongman Ferdinand E. Marcos. If you take a look, oligarchy was rather UNBRIDLED, even allowing NEPOTISM and CRONYISM to be normalized, even at the national level during his tenure. This is why most most constitutional reform advocates are primarily anti-Marcos: They believe he should be blamed for enabling another oligarchic family, which are the Aquino-Cojuangcos who ruled the country from 1986-1992 (President Corazon C. Aquino), and 2010-2016 (President Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" C. Aquino III).
In other words, this is what happens if there are little to NO efforts to revise the Philippine constitution.
Being an OFW should be a CHOICE, not some desperate, last-minute last resort, simply because of scarce opportunities in the Philippines. After all, working overseas should mean, SKILLS TRANSFER, not another way to "uplift the quality of your life out of despair."
Opening the Philippines to a free-market economy could have IMPROVED airports and the tourism sector.
Abolishing the so-called "60/40" rule that doesn't allow 100% full foreign ownership of firms could have allowed MORE RAILWAYS, and LESS ROADS to be built. Remember, American cities were BULLDOZED for the highways. That's what happens, if a country worships the United States too much, through forgetting its roots: Moral, and social degeneracy.
More railways and more commuter buses would mean, there should be no longer be road-widening just to give way to SUVs. Remember why countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore are more often visited than the Philippines, at least in Southeast Asia? Try asking yourself that question.
Economic protectionism IS TO BLAME for the usual classic: Slow, expensive internet connection, and ineffective telecommunication providers.
TV cables removing certain channels... at least if you lived your life in the 2000s as a child, could make you wonder why you can't watch the Disney channel anymore: Blame the Philippine oligarchy for controlling every certain sector of the economy, and that should include television. Same apples to internet connection, where you only have GLOBE (TM), SMART (Talk'n'Text), and SUN. The fourth competitor would be DITO Mobile. You pay more, but the internet speed can be slower than a turtle. I kid you not.
This is why, constitutional reforms are IMPORTANT: Internet service providers are mostly controlled by the oligarchy.
The entertainment industry is also controlled by the oligarchs: Philippine teleseryes, Hollywood, and Korean entertainment are your only FREE TV options.
Unlike during the 2000s where cable TV included TV channels that are from Japan, Taiwan, and a lot more, if you're not into watching television, good luck finding more Latin American or Japanese dramas, because you're only provided with the following: Teleseryes, Hollywood, and Korean. Boring, right?
These major three categories only cater to the puritan normies.
In other words, anime and video games still remain a niche market.
Economic protectionism NEVER allowed even one single Japanese act (based in Japan, not overseas) to perform in concerts.
Did you ever wish, Namie Amuro could have had a concert in the Philippines? Knowing her "too well," she never had plans expanding her brand as herself, elsewhere... at least, before she retired. However, if any Filipino would want a Japanese popstar perform in the Philippines (be it Ayumi Hamasaki, X Japan, Hikaru Utada), that would mean greater efforts to LET THEM IN, simply through improving public transportation, airports, and other services. Remember when Taylor Swift didn't include the Philippines in her ERAS tour? That makes you wonder more: What went wrong?
It is only Joji, formerly known as Filthy Frank, who is Japanese, was able to penetrate the Philippine market by performing in the Philippines—but here, he's a Japanese dude based abroad.
This is what happens if majority of the people remain "uncultured": Again, BLAME economic protectionism for that.
