Aren't most of the oligarchy of Philippines of Fujianese extraction (Jollibee, San Miguel, etc.)Family Interest come first, we are an oligarchy society after all.
Bro you got it exactly right, what are the similarities between Gollum and the Filipinos BOTH had a Precious problem...lol One is a ring the other is a Green Card.
Another Thing the so called Pinoy Pride is artificially design to perpetuate the current Oligarchy system. Its a contradiction, where are the pride when most of our dollar income come from our suffering OFW, how many children are malnourished? The left who used to advocate this socialism ideas had been coopted, the old guards had died and the new one studied at Ivy league school. So it beneath them to rally in the street and demand changes cause it may affect their career path.
Bro the American practice Divide and Conquer during their occupation. Look at our Muslim insurgency, the US transplant many Christian settlers in Mindanao to pacify the Island during the early 1900. The similarities between the Israel -Palestinian and them are so stark that maybe the American formulate this strategy early on with lesson learn from the British. Another similarities is between the 1986 Edsa Revolution and the Orange Revolution, the Philippine are being used as a testing ground for the US hybrid war.
