Why?

Living in a known country for its poverty situation is not that easy. We have to adjust with our situation and be used to be called “OFWs” or worst, “JAPYUKIs”.
But if we would go back to the memories of the glory days of our beloved country, a big smile would be visible to each and everyone’s faces. But that will just be forever a memory living and staying in our cultures and history.
During those glory days of the Philippines, that was I guess 1960s or onwards, our country was known for its total value of gods and services of GNP and even GDP. We were economically rich and can afford to explore anything because we were one of the tops and giants of Asia. We were considered as one of the major exporters and importers in the whole world.
During the 1970s, our quality of life was totally god. Many attempted to open and build their business and company in the Philippines. As what I have read from some of the articles of the newspapers, our country began to be famous during the 1970s.
Many tourists came here to visit beautiful spots that can only be seen here. Some even wanted to explore our country band know what the Philippines had.
Until the year of dictatorship came, Philippines’s sustainable development became unsustainable during these years.
During the 1980s, martial law was proclaimed by the former President Ferdinand Marcos. And not just that he also began to be dependent on other countries. Just for example, when he would be lending money from the World Bank, he did not lend money for our benefit but for his own desires and vices response.
Believing in him made us more poor than ever.
