Lots of influence from the Spaniards... They always collect taxes higher than expected... Get the land of farmers... So.. After 333 years of colonialism what do you expect from the Filipinos? Be totally better than them? NAH!!! Your wrong... \nDo you think that the Philippines shold be first or what? It's good that the Philippines is only second not first. It's not in the religion. It's already in the tradition. It's hard to eradicate that...\nMind you... Not every politicians are corrupt... :) Wow good thing... I still think that Pres. Arroyo does not corrupt because there are no issues about that...

I disagree that the country is reaching its dead end. Phillipines is a developing country. The people (I mean fillipino) are very good people and they are dedicated to the work. I know one friend who is a teacher in a school. She is very dedicated to the job. She is satisfied with the economic as well as political circumstances. You should know that no country can become rich overnights. You have to wait  and see the result of investment made in the country by the Govt as well as by private sector. Please be patient and have faith in the natural outcome of your country.

The Philippines are islands in the Pacific and WWI was fought in Europe. For the most part is was a land-based war and the Philippines was just on the wrong side of the world to effectively participate.\n\nThe Phillipines had no choice in WWII. They were attacked by Japan and over-run.

These two countries are neighbors. Philippines is located above the Sulawesi island of indonesia.\nThus, people from sulawesi is very similar to filipino.\nSimilar food, similar language, even similar personality. Tagalog and Bahasa Indonesia have similar language, they have the same roots

It depends on where that certain Filipino lives...\nMost of my Filipino friends that live in America act more "western" and have more of a connecting with American habits...

Go to the The Economist website (www.economist.com) and pick the Philippines under country briefings. (It's on the sidebar). It should have everything you need. The CIA World Factbook and U.S. State Department websites also have good information and are easy to find on google.

greetings...\n\nphilippines was ones considered as the third largest english speaking country in the world next to US and the UK.\nbut that is no longer the case... the filipinos were taking for granted the gift of english which they had...\nas what current conditions in the philippines imply, english is of much significance being the universal language...\nwithout the proper practice of english filipinos might might forever plunge into a third world country...\nbut on the other hand, it is the english language that can pull the philippines from the claws of poverty...\n\ni hope i was able to help.......

their history is so interesting because of the different countries that came there, tried to conquer it, left their mark on it.  It is a kind of United States of Asia.  Filipinos are friendly, curious, and very tolerant of others.   They are located just north of the largest Moslem population in the world--Indonesia.  Yet this great island nation has  maintained its character and its diversity, while Indonesia has not.   How did the Philippine Islands get this way?  That is the reason to study the history.
