Philippines: Nutrition crisis hinders children's performance in schools 

Do not be offended by what this honest Russian will say which is the truth: It is the total corruption of the social fabric of Philippine society as a whole that is unraveling everything that is wrong with the DAMAGED FILIPINO CULTURE as exposed by Teodoro Locsin in the 1980s and 1990s. How can farmers be motivated to give their best when they have to give bribes at every step of the way and by the time they reach the markets they have to give bribes to the protection gang rackets protected by the totally corrupt Filipino police protected by the totally corrupt lower ranking Filipino politicians? Out of 100% of expected net profits, the hardworking Filipino farmer will only get 30% to 35% of the expected net profits. He might as well give up farming for he is not working to better himself, he is working to fatten up the corrupt political and police system. And Filipino public education is twisted for there are no practical subjects such as growing survival foods and survival herbal medicines under the most direst social, economic, and cultural conditions and environments. Practicality of survival and thriving must be intertwined with academics. But none will do it for a rising and expanding middle class within a generation will change the class status quo and that is the key critical issue. What is needed is an armed humanitarian approach with full diplomatic immunity against the corrupt elements and people of the Philippines and maintain that approach for a full 2 to 3 generations, 4 generations just to be sure. How did I and we know that? Simple, we have Russian spies inside the Philippines that can pass themselves as filipinos for Russia is composed of more than 100 ethnicities and many of them can pass themselves as filipinos, that's how. We spy on you filipinos in order to know why you are in such a dire predicament and we already knew that for several years but everytime a 2sd party is formed to help you, your corrupt politicians and police and army tries to rip them off!

@@darthvader5300 Thanks for your comment. I did not know that police extort farmers in that country, but I'm not that surprised. Nothing is too mediocre to exist in the Philippines. That culture is so immoral and outrageous. Many Filipinos feed their roosters before feeding their kids. Everything is wrong with these people.

agauravluca luca such as?

agauravluca luca it's a news/journalism channel, not a tourism one.

I think it is a good and factual view. People need to be aware of the reality of some people. We should stop romanticizing too much as this does not improve the quality of life of those who do really need it, which are the poor. Only spreading awareness can help them.

And how do you want to portray the Philippines? Lie like most politicians in the Philippines?

Not always positive if this is reality

not sure of that coz as per Catholicism/Christianity, it's not being rich which makes it a sin, but the love, evil ,and greediness of money makes it. Being a monk is not popular in the Phils.

Henry Ford knew that a long time ago and applied it to his workers but today's present generation of industrialists does not share his wisdom.

aziatiklover because these women have no education nor funds... society says their purpose is to have babies which is natural. Men work women have kids. but just like in Africa and just like in the States. The poor have the most kids due to the lack of knowledge and promotion meaning society deems them average or like everyone else. If America says all women are the same and no special privilege was givin, America would have the same outcome. Basic Economics 101

ask pope there

Their policies are tied to the catholic church, which has an ominous influence in the Philippines. This is what happens when you let religion, whether it's christianity or islam influence laws and social norms- society always gets stunted and fails to progress.
