Holy shit, how is the Philippines this much of a shithole?
Our race is fucking ugly and mutted up by every Asian country ever + the US + the Spaniards - yet we still want to appeal to whiteness as much as possible, every advertisement features white people or white-presenting people (i.e. Pinoys have skin color lightened up artificially)
We're the 3rd largest plastic polluter of the ocean. For an island this small - holy SHIT.
Our fucking air smells like shit, neighbors burn garbage readily, 4000 people die per year from air pollution, and there's no waste management system installed because -
Duterte is too busy slaughtering drug "peddlers" left and right, arresting any opposition and violating rights - while being hooked on fentanyl and saying some riotous shit one day, then taking it back the next.
Infrastructure - roads, electricity, internet access, etc. are absolute dogshit bad; we're dead last in Asian countries for internet speed because we're duopolized. Electricity wires are strung about willy-nilly, you'd think for a fucking typhoon-prevalent country we'd be more protective of our electric structure - apparently not. Anyone in a tin fucking house, sorry, you're roasted if a pole falls over.
People just fucking cut each other off on the road and honk REGULARLY to signal they are passing in the opposite lane or that they are cutting you off. There's no order in traffic, it's fucked and insanely slow. 3 miles takes half an hour minimum on a good day.
We're so up our own asses about Catholicism that the HR just passed a bill allowing conditional divorce just this fucking year. It's still prohibited.
We fucking elected Pacquiao because he's a celebrity boxer.
We have no motivation to advance or strive for anything further than eating the same dogshit status quo forever because "bahala na."
This is barely scratching the surface of other politically corrupt shit happening right now - the further I dig, the more disgusted I become.
