An introduction to my blog on the Philippines

It's very hard living in this country.  I see something irritating almost everyday and this blog is going to help me cope.  Like it or not, the truths will be revealed!

Of course, like presumably every other citizen, I also love this country.  Through all the pollution and beneath all the grime you can find the true nature of the Pinoy: comedic, sensitive and caring.  It's true!  Yes we constantly honk, curse and ignore the rules of the civilized world but all this stems from the decades long frustration we share with our country's progress.  Our system has weighed down our virginal character and given us a whole new personification: naive, short-sighted and western loving.  What a shame.  

So read on if you dare.  I hold nothing back.  Get ready to face the truth in its ugliest form. Prepare to stare at yourself in the mirror and realize 'yes, you are one of us'.  We come from the same animal you see.  I don't care if you appear mestizo, igorot or something in between by feverishly rubbing skin whitening cream on yourself.  Ikaw Ang Pinoy.
