Philippines in The Future: A funny Perception

We went to a mall in our city after our feeding program last Saturday. After a long walk at the mall, we decided to sit in the food court and ate the junk foods that we bought below. While eating, we exchanged some experiences in our lives and we ended having a topic about what will be Philippines in the future.

We know that Philippines is still very dependent from other countries. I hate to admit this but without them, Philippines will be nothing. Sad but true. Philippines export Filipinos to the other countries to become domestic helpers therefore leaving behind their families for the sake of good salaries in exchange for their efforts. Instead of helping their own country, they have no choice but work abroad for it offers them more than Philippines can offer to its worker.

If Philippines will be rich as them, there will be a time when it will be importing some domestic helpers from different countries. Therefore, Filipinos will be the bosses and the foreigners will be their helpers. Just imagine a filipino having a helper like the beauty of a Brazilian model wearing uniform, bringing the things bought in a mall while following their bosses with a beauty of a native filipino (dark-skinned, flat nose, voluminous lips, and doesn't know how to dress and make up herself properly) will be outrageous to look at.

It is already in the Philippine culture that we admire most the beauty of foreigners than our own because long ago when the foreigners were still invading our country, we got used to the thought that they are more superior than us because of their skin tone and wealth. We, the Filipinos, who are fond of imitating the others will never obtain progress I suppose. In order to obtain such progress, we should believe and love ourselves first.
