I am proud of my middle name because it is my mothers last name. the Senators comments does not reflect Filipino self-delusion that things are not bad. we do recognize that there are many bad things in the Philippines, corruption, poverty, poor education but what use will it do if we just keep highlighting the problems? atleast the senator wrote something to keep filipinos from giving up on their country. atleast he is saying that there is hope. there is always hope. <br /><br />quite frankly, I agree with some of the points you have made. however, what use will it be to be such a debbie downer... senator Pangilinan did not state that the Philippines is problem free. he just highlighted reasons why there is hope for the Philippines. because honestly, most people are starting to lose hope. atleast he was trying to uplift people and make them believe in the Philippines again. he was just writing a blog not a state of the nation address. people are entitled to their own opinions. however, I just wanted to comment on your blog and prove that I am proud of being a filipino. and although many bad things can be said about our country I do genuinely believe that there is hope. If no one believes that there is hope, then what is left for our country?anonymous12https://www.blogger.com/profile/12597325647351250419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073348098659027438.post-22134135430094304572009-05-23T19:54:14.848-07:002009-05-23T19:54:14.848-07:00when you said "However, the Philippines needs to w...when you said "However, the Philippines needs to work much harder to form a common identity and ethnicity. Many may find it sad, or disapprove, but the Filipino tribes (Tagalogs, Cebuanos, Ilocanos, Pampangans, also 'Chinese/Tsinoys' and Korean-Filipinos and white Filipinos if they exist, etc.) have to go, and be replaced by Filipinos. A single, standardized language has to be the language of the entire country. I would even approve of the government creating a list of 100 or so 'Filipino' surnames, and assigning them randomly to every citizen household in the Philippines. No Chinese or European family names, at least in public. All Filipinos should have a 'Filipino' name." are you even aware of the Philippines' history... before the Spaniards came we were not even a country...it was just different islands with different dialects and practices...it would trample on democracy and freedom of expression and freedom to practice culture and tradition if you impose something such as having one ethnicity. try telling this to the US...when you say United States you have African-American, Mexican-American, etc...most people in Florida speak spanish than English. in the Philippines, it is unfair to impose that we should only speak filipino..come to think of it having many dialects is what makes us unique. its like telling people from England to have one accent! lets be realistic...having only filipino surnames?! I am half Filipina and half British and I am proud of it. by having an english last name doesnt mean I am not proud of being Filipino. you know why most filipinos have spanish surnames? its because we were colonized by the Spaniards for more or less 350 years. furthermore, many foreigners love filipina women. having a foreign name does not mean I degrade the Philippines.

Lea Salonga who has made a name for herself in international broadway. Monique Lhuiller who is a famous designer for hollywood stars..she is filipino and was born in Cebu! when you said "Foreigners do not listen to Filipino music or avidly flock to Filipino art galleries." I have many foreign friends in the US, Spain, London to name a few and whenever they borrow my Ipod or hear some of the songs i listen to, they are amazed when I say that its a local filipino band. Bamboo, Up Dharma Down is famous and was featured on tv and Time magazine as the band who will most likely be able to penetrate the international market. furthermore, Hollywood starts such as Cameron Diaz purchase local made handbags. local made furniture is also popular in the international market. on your point about corruption, in reality...corruption exists not only in the Philippines...lets not be stupid here...corruption also exists in the United States... it is difficult if not impossible to stop corruption but we can sure try to lessen it. atleast people are saying and doing something about it. atleast we are trying. battling corruption does not happen overnight, over a period of a year..it takes years if not a decade...lets not forget, Philippines is a young country...and a developing country so it is not fair to compare the philippines to China and other countries who have had their independence for decades.

Historically and technically speaking, they are 'One Nation' separated by Two States. And even to this day, there is almost no difference between the two peoples of Korea, except the fact that those in North are 'probably' in favor of Communism and Totalitarianism, and those in the South are in favor of Capitalism and Democracy.<BR/><BR/>verdict: we can not use the previous "Korean Peninsula" Olympics Team as our premise.<BR/><BR/>Next is China's case. Although we can say that within China's "United Nations" territory there is only One Nation and One State (China's territory covers Macau, Hong Kong, and Taiwan), HK and Taiwan were still allowed to have their own contingent for the following reasons:<BR/><BR/>1) Hong Kong as a 'Nation', it has developed into a mixture of different cultures already. It isn't a Nation of 'mainland Chinese'.<BR/>2) Taiwan as a 'Nation', also developed on its own path due to political reasons. The differences in culture, identity, history, and being a 'Nation' is clear between mainland China and Taiwan.<BR/><BR/>OIC and possibly other countries, will use the example of China to go against an "ASEAN Olympics Team".<BR/><BR/>And in a way, I agree with them since the Olympics is about "Nations", not Countries, not States. ASEAN as a region will never become 'One Nation' as much as EU isn't.<BR/><BR/>In fact, China can insist on having One Olympics Team because under the UN, China is a "One Nation, Multi State" country, but there will be political effects so China allows it's 'other' states to compete separately as "Hong Kong, China" and "Chinese Taipei" (not as Hong Kong or Taiwan).<BR/><BR/>That is something that we do not have. Maybe 3 decades from now, the next generation ASEANs will consider themselves as "ONE NATION", but currently, it is not a possibility.<BR/><BR/>ASEAN will become "One State, Ten Nations" (or twelve once Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea are approved).<BR/><BR/>Do I agree with your idea? Definitely, I want to see an ASEAN Team myself, and it will GREATLY help the ASEAN Ideals specially in the Socio-Cultural Aspect of the Integration - the grassroot - us the people.<BR/><BR/>Wow I blogged here, Lol. But I never thought of this comparison until now:<BR/><BR/>Korean Peninsula: One Nation, Two States is their target (and their previous teams)<BR/>China: One Nation, Multi States (Im not sure if I got it correctly, but something in that line)<BR/>EU: Multi Nations, One State (eventually, it is obvious they are heading that way, the EU High-Level arms are the most powerful grouping today)<BR/>ASEAN: Ten/Twelve nations, One Community (eventually in the future - One State).<BR/><BR/>Well, let's not lose hope. It doesn't hurt to try. Let's push for an ASEAN Olympics Team!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>PS<BR/>I invite you to install disqus.com as your comments system for blogger.

Here is a person who in her heart knows that God is color-blind, and that believers are all brothers and sisters -- yet she just can't quite seem to chuck off that human sin-nature that wants to look down upon other people because they have some 'unpalatable' difference (skin melanin, etc)...<BR/>But thanks for highlighting the main points in the transcript.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555438888853184349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073348098659027438.post-76153849147093163442008-07-01T19:56:00.000-07:002008-07-01T19:56:00.000-07:00You need not be so threatened by India and China. ...You need not be so threatened by India and China.

Just take a look at a global map that highlights the ocean depths (light blue for shallow, and dark blue for deep), and imagine the light blue as having been land (due to the large amount of water tied up into ice during the Ice Age). China would've extend through Taiwan. The distance between Taiwan and the Philippines would've been very close, and there would've been land bridges between South Eastern Asia through Borneo and many of the islands of the Philippines. <BR/><BR/>One answer to a question that continues to evade me: <BR/>So were the Asians from the line of Gomer (Japeth)? Some claim links to Togarmah (father of the Turks), and the Miao aborigenes have a legend that traces their lineage to Gomer. <BR/>Ham (some articles claim links to the Sinites or Hittites)? <BR/>Or Shem (the Elamites seem to have had a head start in expanding towards this region -- at least through India)... <BR/>Maybe digging through the various cultural 'myths' will yield an answer, but I haven't found it.

How do you ...Thanks for the insightful article(s). How do you think China will be impacted by their own demographic limitations? I have to believe that their one child policy is going to result in some negative effects. Also, I agree that PRC (mainland China) union with the ROC (Taiwan) seems inevitable at some point. I think the one 'wild-card' in the equation, that can result in maximum bumpiness, is that the old guard in charge of the government will try to cling to power in any manner that they can. And unfortunately, the tried and true method of the Chinese rulers is to whip up the people with nationalistic fervor - whenever their own incompetence and failings become obvious. We've seen them do this against Japan, America, Europe, etc... Its possible the leaders will do something desperate to hold onto power - and when that happens, 'bad stuff' could happen (e.g., Mao used the 'Cultural Revolution' to distract the people from his blunders - which resulted in the deaths of tens of millions due to famine. This 'Revolution' 'worked' to solidify his power; however it also spun out of control and set China back a decade...).Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555438888853184349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073348098659027438.post-5991616592928484752008-05-25T21:16:00.000-07:002008-05-25T21:16:00.000-07:00Christian Freedom International (http://www.christ...Christian Freedom International (http://www.christianfreedom.org/) appears to be a good organization that has feet on the ground in Burma to help the folks over there.<BR>I mention this in case any of your readers wish to donate in this area (and want to by-pass the Red Cross).<BR>Likewise I agree with your premise that Burma isn't getting as much publicity as China regarding these disasters - however that is probably mostly due to Burma's junta keeping their country walled off to the outside.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555438888853184349noreply@blogger.com
