It's now wonder Filipinos remain poor. They are being taught by their most revered "thought leaders" that poverty is everyone else's fault but theirs.
According to Hilbay...
Poverty is overwhelmingly NOT a choice; people are simply born into it. It is artificial, & strips people of dignity. It's the consequence of an unjust socio-economic structure, entrenched & legitimized by the legal system.
The most recent example of this injustice is TRAIN.
Not true. The real definition of poverty is far more confronting and can be digested only by people who can handle the truth...
Poverty is a habitual entering into commitments one is inherently unable to honour.
When an entire people are continuously told that someone else, or a higher power, is responsible for their fortunes (or misfortunes), guess what: they will soon forget how to take personal accountability for their own prosperity.
Chronic poverty in the Philippines is the legacy of generations of Filipinos being assured that their poverty is a "blessed" condition that is up to somebody else to solve.
