Why is the Philippines so poor?

I'm the supervisor of a hospital laboratory in the Pacific Northwest, hence there are a lot of Asians here, and there are especially a lot of Pinoys.
I do all the interviews and hiring for my department and I can say with one hell of a lot of first-hand experience that these people are ideal employees.
They are extremely productive.
They have zero workplace conflicts.
They are perfectly willing to work any shift on short notice, for however many hours.
They're the friendliest group of people I have ever encountered.
They're always upbeat no matter how shitty the situation.
They have an extremely tight network amongst themselves, yet are still totally open to outsiders with information or anything they can provide to be helpful to those they interact with.
They're extremely competent in terms of not making errors that could cause a legal liability.

I have been wondering this for a long time. Why is their nation so poor and corrupt?
Is it just that the U.S. is getting only the cream of the crop of them?
I feel like a nation comprised of these people should be ranking in the 1st world.
I'm completely baffled by it.

>They have zero workplace conflicts.
On the surface, but most of them love to dig dirt about other people and there's this unwanted drama that will rise gradually.

Some will point out that it's bc of the Marcos debt when in fact most of them don't build up a source of income that simply relies on their daily job. Also, pinoys love having feasts.

Being largely poor as shit, the ones you are encountering are quite honestly the best they have. We have quite a few on the wards here, fuckloads of RN's, and they are quite open about the levels of crime, drug use and general shitness of their countrymen.

They hide their thoughts about others better than the whites. I think thats a catholic thing really.

- The island isn't a big place for tourism. Island without tourism revenue generally suffer from having to rely on larger countries providing manufacturing
- Its competing with China on manufacturing & technology exports and losing
- Roman Catholic which means that there's a ton of children being born without proper thought put into family economics
- Fewer guaranteed jobs + people living and working at careers for longer periods of time = more younger people left to work in the black market / crime. They often continue to have children while living under poverty.
- Filipinos are great people and great workers. Many succeed if they can find a way to get to the states - but with the US economy being shaky there are fewer ways for them to come over here w/ guaranteed work.

Not really, a lot of them can be read like an open book.

We have pretty socialized laws and tough Union laws which discourages foreign investors to invest here. I hate this socialist shithole

You're only seeing the best people we have to offer. Back here, a lot of us are just lazy sacks of shit. We even have a word for a common type of behaviour where one starts on work enthusiastically but runs out of energy or motivation before finishing.

No family structure. Tons of broken families and harems, polygamists everywhere.

Law and order not very prevalent (until Duterte). This leads to bribery, corruption everywhere, nothing gets done. This has gone on for decades.

Now take a look at Indonesia, which, racially is very similar. Higher income per capita. They don't have broken families everywhere, muslim law rules to keep them in check. Law and order exists thanks to the Dutch that kept a presence much longer than the Murifats who basically handed over power 100+ years ago with no oversight.

This is what they want to do with the United States. Break apart law and order, break apart the nuclear family structure so we become a 3rd world shithole to exploit.

Incredibly corrupt political class and public service sector. Legal contracts have little backing by themselves, law officers are easily bribed and the burgers like to take an unseen hand in their political system and economy due to them being a former colony.

>break apart the nuclear family structure
Dumbass

What the fuck is the idea there?

culture.
also pinoys arent smart loool. I work in hospitality and 90% of the servers are basically pinoys, yet that 1 chinese waitress is smarter than all of them

They makes pretty good bar singers

>expects overqualified flips to work in hospitality

maybe whether or not a country is stable and prosperous depends on factors other than how good of a work ethic the citizenry has and cannot be reduced to simply "deyz gud werkers n shiet and dey nice dey country should be rich and shieeet"


really carmelizes those onions, doesn't it?

The dirty little secret leftists don't want you to know is how hard working the average person is doesn't have a whole lot to do with the overall economic success of a country. You can have a country full of the worlds most diligent hotel room cleaners but it doesn't mean much

I might agree if not that it were that seemingly 100% of them were ideal workers.
I have had absolutely zero problems with them.
The only thing I can think of is that for some reason they lack leadership characteristics but given solid leadership they very much thrive.

I couldnt fault the ones that served me in Dubai. Except for the god-awful faux-american accents half of them spoke english with, nails on a fucking chalkboard.

I have worked 8 years as an RN and i have never seen one in a leadership or educator position.

Is this a joke? Philippines are among the worst nurses. They learned how to pass the interview and fool the HR department, but they treat their patients like shit. Let me give a window into their worldview: Do you work in the hospital? Then you are a human. Are you in the hospital but don't work there? Then you are a worthless peasant. Are you a doctor? Then you are a god.

My mom is a nurse. Heres a story about how Philippine nurses accidentally killed a man because they are unqualified idiots. Doctor proscribes a drug for ill patient. It has weird name. Philippine nurse gets name wrong due to poor understanding of english. Nurse administers wrong drug. Patient dies. Nurse is annoyed that she is under review. Doesn't get reprimanded, genuinely believes other nurses are racist for thinking she did bad job

My ID will answer thy questions...

>faux-american accents

can you vocaroo for a sample of this accent?

>id: oprah jew

I knew it

>zero workplace conflicts
>zero

Laughing my ass off at this ignorance. You just based them on the FOBs and overseas workers, didn't you? Of course there will be zero conflicts in a foreign country. You think they're going to start shit up in a foreign place they have no knowledge of? You should try working here and supervise in my own country, i assure you one bit that is not true and you will be flooded with complaints from enployees about workplace drama and fights. Here's the thing, Filipinos when left to their own LOVE to make drama and pull each other down. Hate to say it but we're like crabs in a basket who will shame and pull each other down in order to look good among our peers. We call it "crab mentality" and consider it a social epidemic in the Philippines. Also, we have a hive mind mentality. If you do not fit in the cultural and social norms, no matter how bad it is in practice, good luck not being picked on. It's the reason why corruption is endemic here. Either you join in and play with their shenanigans or you get out and have your life threatened or have your life made a living hell.

It's because Filipino women are hard working God fearing Catholics that try and keep good households but their men are mostly drunken degenerates. Good lads to get on the piss with but they have all the work ethic of a lazy Spaniard. Great place to holiday though.

Because most of us are Christians and we have this shitty mentality of being comfortable enough.

Plus being fucked by mother earth's fart of storm every month makes people here apathetic.

Most of the smart ones gets national recognition or gets the fuck out of our country
The stupid ones stay in a conformist lifestyle
while some have a crab mentality
others have this tribal instinct to protect his region.
and the ones who have ambitions to make his country great and safe and not a pussy bitch gets called an authoritarian.
