What makes Filipinas the way they are? Let me see......

- Religion: A Faith that's held strongly by 85% of the population, and is the norm. Western societies have taken to Political Correctness, self-centredness, and "you can make your own truth".

- Strong family bonds: Being always part of a family and having a clearly defined role.

- A society that's based on the barangay rather than the individual: An extension on being part of a family, with the immediate society being an extension of the family. Very little room for going astray.

- The effects of poverty: As an Aussie, I think WE were a better and kinder people and society when we were poor and struggling. Wealth can be very morally-corrupting.
