>>81372719Corruption is a manifestation of extreme tribalism. Filipinos truly do not give a shit about anyone except their own; so it's "morally correct" to steal from a daycare fund or whatever if it's to empower your own people. Marcos didn't do anything "wrong"; he was just looking after himself. There is no Filipino identity. You can see it in their media consumption; they flock to California/America or Korea or Japan for arts, because there is nothing natively. Same reason the "well-off" flips learn English to go up a caste. (BTW, it's the Americans who standardized Tagalog, because even a hundred years ago they understood the importance of SOME social cohesion). And obviously that corruption destroys everything else; high taxes that pay for nothing but leave everyone broke and sick and hungry, so now you literally have "Filipino Cuisine" be synonymous with "dumpster diving".
The only thing they can do is stop being faggots cuckposting on /vt/ and try to encourage the development of their own culture and national identity, because that will lead to dividends in every aspect of their society. Once people have a common sense of "us" and they can develop a sense of empathy like normal humans, it becomes a lot harder to screw over your neighbors for a quick buck, which makes corruption less of a cultural feature and more of an actual societal failure. You can't do anything about education, health and sanitation, or nutrition until corruption's under control.
