How can philippines become a better country? I visit the Philippines often, about 3 times a year. My wife is a philipina. My question is what's wrong with the philippines?? Great people, beautiful country, plenty of beaches, freindly and hard working people, etc. But still, the country is a mess. I'm sure everyone is going to blame it on the corrupt politicians. But that's taking the easy way out. I think the corrupt politicians are a product of the people themselves. I think one big problem in Manila is the situation with the squaters. They've totally messed up the city. Not just short term either. No one wants to invest in Manila, because it's future doesn't look very bright. It's a messy city which looks like will get only messier. Please no hate answers. I want to get some positive solutions.
