It’s funny how you judgmental people demand to be respected for your beliefs when you can’t give the same respect to others. You poke your noses at other people’s right to THEIR beliefs, like the right to make their own choices in reproductive health, and impose your hypocritical morality on others.

Why don’t YOU mind your own business?

Hello! Prayer gives hope and comfort; my point was that prayer does not accomplish anything tangible. E.g. a poverty-stricken family will not be able to alleviate their situation by mere prayers. The problem is people who leave everything up to praying and God, while doing nothing.

“It’s their life, and not yours. so live your own life, and mind your own business.”
You can take your own advice yourself. I mean, what’s it to you if I believe prayer is bullshit? ;)

And really, “people like me” and not say… corrupt politicians, lazy people, murderers, rapists, victim-blamers etc etc are the reason why society is fucked up? Awesome.

Some of the things you’re saying are true, but i have to disagree with your statement,“Filipinos need to stop thinking that praying/prayer accomplishes anything.” That’s a really stupid thing to say. what’s wrong with praying? A prayer, i find, is really helpful.
And what’s it to you that they pray?
It’s their life, and not yours. so live your own life, and mind your own business. People like you are the reason why society is fucked up.

Filipinos (especially the teens) need to stop trying to whiten their skin and need to stop trying to be “Caucasianized.”

This is hilariously awesome Helga. I’ve always had much of the same opinion in mind but felt it would be too racist, sacrilegious, or just plain improper (I’m an American) of me to actually say in front of any of my Filipino friends, all Filipino Nationals by the way. I commend you for actually recognizing AND talking about all of this on your blog. I’d love to quote your post into my blog…I can only imagine the reaction I’d get from my friends in the Phils, although many would either say they agree, or agree but be too offended by it being openly talked about to reply. By the way I love your work here.

I totally agree! First things first, Filipinos must think properly! Everything follows…it’s all about discipline.

Well i have this american friend who finds it funny that all filipinos are nurses in their area. Its kind of like a stereotype.

Filipinos should stop spending too much money on malls. Be more of a producer than a consumer.

Filipinos should stop taking up nursing.

There is nothing wrong with nursing as a courseâ€”but something is definitely wrong when the whole country wants to take up nursing – the brownraise movement by lipad-lawin..

And i totally AGREE!!!

Filipinos should stop having too many kids, and on this note have some form of birth control policy.

Lack of resources stem from the fact that only a few of us pay taxes while there are others who have no jobs.

Filipinos should stop blaming the government for the fact that they do not have a job. oh brother, get over yourself and actually start looking for one.

Stop covering (too many) foreign songs and copying (too many) foreign TV shows.
