Nalagpasan na yata natin ang Mexico, so next target habulin ang Indonesia sa population... :lol:
Hindi pa naman, ang estimated population ng Mexico ay 123M
Bakit Hindi eto kinukop2x Ng simbahang katoliko ang mga street kids sa cebu naka higa sa labas Ng simbahan nila?
Multiply pa more?
Grabe sa Manila Baywalk,,,
ang daming pamilyang doon na nakatira.
Punta kayo,,, nakakagulat.
True face of hunger and suffering.
Correct si Dan Brown: Manila is the Gates of Hell.
At nagkalat ang mga bata. Maraming-maraming bata.
Sa sitwasyon nila, imposibleng nag-aaral pa sila.
Ano na ang kinabukasan nila pag tanda nila?
Pero di bale, ang importante ay buo ang pamilya at nagmamahalan.
#AnakPaMore
=======
Seriously, I would support a government intervention.
Kunin na ng DSWD ang mga bata.
At warning sa magulang: Pag nag-anak uli sa kayle, kapon na.
Pero warning lang muna.
.
Anak pa more sa Davao para matulad sa Metro Manila.
At para ma-occupy pati ng mga tao ang forest watersheds,
at maging extinct ang Philippine Eagle.
Tao lang ang may karapatan mag-occupy sa planet Earth,
bawal ang ibang species.
Yang ibang species na yan, ginawa lang sila ng Dyos para kainin natin.
Mga pagkain lang sila (pwede rin gawin damit, bag, belt at sapatos).
Kaya anak pa more!

It is in fact a matter of cultural realism based on geopolitical and historical evidences. The Philippines cannot afford to bandwagon with any East Asian countries whose citizens and governments are not going to openly embrace what they consider "monkeys" from Southeast Asia like the Philippines.
The whole identity of the Filipino nation rest upon the legacies of more than three centuries of Spanish colonization. No any amount of Chinese or Japanese influences are going to trample that cultural backbone laid down by the Spaniards.
That's cultural appropriation at the macro level as just because China and Japan are the major economies within Asian region, we have to bandwagon them too through speaking their languages. Chinese and Japanese are intolerant with outsiders especially Southeast Asians speaking their languages. Why are we going to be Chinese or Japanese where we can be a unique Hispano-Asian country through having Spanish as our lingua franca?
Leave Chinese, Japanese, and even Korean languages for their people alone; don't mess them by mimicking their language to the extent of ridicule.
The whole "Asian" ethnocultural level is a farce one, without considering individual Asian countries economic, cultural, political, religious, and social differences. Our country cannot be lumped together with any Confucian-influenced countries unless our country is being swamped by Chinese immigrants as most Sinophile Pinoy SSC users want.
The differences between us and Indochina and Indonesia was that ours was culturally, politically, and religiously constructed by Spanish colonizers and without Spanish colonizers, our country we have right now would have not been in existence.

Iba ang may pakinabang sa walang may pakinabang .. chinese has the money
The Only difference ..they do not eat "pagpag" .. unlike those of a small poor family of 6-8 children
I on the other hand welcome those chinese citizens.. para mahaluan naman tayo ng progressive genes...
For me, to be a real Filipino is to be multilingual or polyglot like José Rizal and since Rizal spoke Spanish as his primary language during the most of his lifetime, then every Filipino should follow Rizal by speaking Spanish and act like a Latino.
Using your logic, then stop speaking English too. Americans were no different from Spaniards in terms of atrocities toward native Filipinos.
The fact is that the Philippines was a colonial creation and its whole national identity cannot be revolved around single ethnolinguistic group over the other one. Without Spanish colonization, the Philippines would have not been in existence today and would have been composed of separate sultanates and rajanates with different cultures, economies, languages, or religions.
With regards to Philippine cultural discourses, nativists (Tagalog or Visayan) are much worse than Hispanistas and Anglosajonistas.
With globalization, it is inevitable that cultures and languages with lesser population clout have to be absorbed by any dominant cultures and better to embrace the inevitable that Tagalog, Visayan, Ilocano, and others will somewhat vanish through acculturation with the Anglosphere or Hispanosphere.
You know nothing indeed about features of this site where you can customize it into Spanish, Portuguese, and Polish.
Stop perpetuating the myth that public education system was founded by the Americans. Local historians today have already acknowledged that the founding date of modern public education system was on December 20, 1863 when Queen Isabella II issued a decree establishing public schools across the country with Spanish and local languages were mediums and in fact, it worked as those who were educated under 1863 reform revolted against the excesses of Spanish friars when they emerged into political scene by 1890s. Spanish public education system in the Philippines was so advanced compared to its contemporaries in Asia, as Filipinos had options to learn foreign languages like English, French, Latin, and others while under American public education system, it was entirely done in English.
Had Spanish public education system been continued until today, our country would have been a truly bilingual Spanish-Tagalog/Cebuano/Ilocano country like in Catalonia region of Spain and Paraguay.
On the other hand, we cannot avoid the force of cultural and linguistic homogenization brought by increasingly advanced communications, transportation, and trade linkages.
And you are just an American wannabee at best. Speaking certain international language should reflect your grown-up cultural upbringing and it is obvious that Filipino culture is not a derivative from Anglo-American culture nor Filipinos think or act like British or Americans.
Filipinos clearly act and think like Hispanics and all cultural, political, and religious attributes are more in common with Latin America not United States or Great Britain.
American or British fantards are equally worse as Tagalog or Visayan cultural nativists.
Maybe your family wasn't that well-off enough during late Spanish or early American colonial rule, no wonder your great grandparents said that. My family from both sides of my father and mother served as cabeza de barangays and to serve such was to have adequate Spanish language proficiency.
Let me ask one thing, do you think Emilio Aguinaldo would have joined Katipunan had he never become a proficient Hispanophone and become a cabeza de barangay?
The whole Philippine Revolution would have not been possible without native educated elites speaking Spanish.
The Philippines would not have protectionist economic provisions in the constitution and would have adopted an open foreign direct investment policy had the Philippines remain Hispanophone instead of trying to be an Anglophone.
Without OFW and BPO revenues due to our English language proficiency, our government would have forced long time ago to open strategic economic sectors like agriculture, mining, oil and gas extraction, and manufacturing to 100% FDI participation like in Colombia or Peru.
OFW and BPO workers and revenues discouraged Philippine economic policy makers to open up the entire economy to 100% foreign investment participation.
Colonization has always been inevitable since the closure of Constantinople to European traders due to Ottoman invasion. It was logical for resource-scarce Europeans that time to find ways to gain access to Asian markets and there, from the fall of Constantinople, colonization of Southeast Asia and the Americas had already been inevitable.
Philippine archipelago was easily colonized because it didn't have single political or cultural identity in the first place and our archipelago was at the periphery from major kingdoms of Asia. Therefore, the entire Filipino nation's existence only became possible by Spanish colonization.
Without Spaniards, the Philippines would have not existed in the first place.
yeah a shithole Philippines is their legacy.Without Spaniards, the Philippines would have not existed in the first place.
The sudden economic leap in the Philippines are attributed to its younger working population - young upwardly mobile health conscious 18yo to 35yo and middle age unli food indulging 40yo to 65yo (which will be a burden to the Health Service once their hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease & fatty liver making them prone to strokes & heart attacks)... travel & fun loving 70yo levelling up to their Asian & ASEAN neighbours... with the Chinese population from the 1970s predominantly male (Philippines must be at a ready to send female contingent to repopulate the region so learning Mandarin is a must) while Japan got an aging population mostly single individuals from those born in 1980s onward (work driven power hungry) the Nippongo trained nursing and health care specialists should be at a ready to look after the 80yo to 110yo & beyond - so their longevity is a challenge... that leaves Korea (North and South) more upwardly mobile more English speaking than their Filipino counterparts and more travel loving... our engineers should be ready to run the machineries those Koreans will leave as they try to integrate into the Western America and Europe... the Scandinavians with its dwindling population and mostly African & Middle Eastern refugees and Eastern European economic migrants to take over their countries (Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland) Philippines might be called in to repopulate the vast frozen kingdoms of Elsa and Olaf you just need to be patient and learn languages of the Arctic and be ready to defend it and do armed combat with Russland people... who said that Pilipinos have to control it Birth Rates...
we Filipinos lack discipline
bakit ba nagkakalat o nagtatapon nalang ng basura ang mga Pilipino kung saan saan?
I will list some cause and effect reasons
1. American influence na carefree sa environment
2. Dugyot lang talaga ang mga Pilipino sa kapaligiran.
3. Hindi naturuan ng wastong pagtatapon ng basura
4. Tamad maghanap ng malapit na basurahan
5. Kulang ang basurahan sa paligid
6. Yung iba ay nasanay na may para linis ng mga kalat nila, o yung may mentality na "may maglilinis naman"
7. Nakakasira ng porma ang pagdadala ng basura / walang lamang pinagkainan / pagdadala ng maliit na kalat sa bag
8. Magtatapon kung saan saan dahil wala namang nakalagay na "bawal magtapon" o kaya naman ay dahil malawak naman ang kapaligiran
I hope you don't blame again on this on "overpopulation"
You must be talking about habits of people in the Metro Manila area?
