Finally! A reply.
So let's start with a topic or something...
What do you think about the Filipinos consistently winning the world's beauty pageants last 2013?

Or what do you think about that massive category 5 storm that demolished the cities in the East of the country?

Looks to me the Filipino government should invest some major money into better infrastructures (including breakwaters along the shorelines) and better building standards.
It wouldn't have prevented ALL life loss, but sure it would have lessened the death toll.

First of all, we've been wining Beaty pageants for the last 30-40 years, why do you thing we're stereotyped as the Hawaii of Asia or something like that...

Its a category 5 storm and the strongest storm EVER according to world historical records.
Just look at it!
It was able to slam a freight ship into land and 4 to 5 story concrete buildings were powerless against it.
Building breakwaters will only be a band-aid to a wound. The root of the problem is the world's major polluters: China, India, Europe and the United States who continue to pollute recklessly yet we are the ones who suffer for their polluting policies.

Woah, I empathize with you. In addition to have Tacloban destroyed; Bohol's priceless historical buildings was also destroyed by that horrible Earthquake. You have been a victim of a double whammy.
I wish I could contribute more but I already gave 1/3rd of my clothes and a lot of my savings to help the victims.
Are you still living in Bohol right now? How devastating was the Earthquake in your area?

Well as per economy-wise.
We are the second fastest growing economy in Asia next to China and the fastest growing economy in Southeast Asia.
And we are currently the leader in the Southeast Asia region in growth rate and stock-market capitalization. Plus, they expect us to be the largest economy in SEA soon.
But the problem is that, the growth mostly only benefits the middle class and the rich but the poor are hardly uplifted.

I suppose that in order to ensure our survival we have to adopt a policy of "counter measures"...

Yeah I heard like being 16th in the world in 2050 XD
But our opportunity is the poor people, we should fund more for our welfare and housing problems but if only the government will just put hole in their pockets. Not only our economy but our military and SRDP which we need to face threath against Chinese claims over our islands. Our Navy ships(even Frigate Alcaraz and del Pilar) are very outdated and our AA systems are manual machine guns which can only shoot down helicopters and low level flying drones and planes. We should improve our nation in all fonts!!
And we must fix our political system, you know more anti-graft, anti-corruption and just crush those commies that make problems in MIndanao and all over the Philippines

Well in a very small scale it does, but yes our "overall" economy is more important for now...
Have you heard about the new cashless government spending system?
