Pain of Juan dela Cruz

Philippines has endured a nasty economy for quite some time now. The people have suffered so long that even middle class is sliding to the poor section. What is happening? Why cannot the country surpass this terrible crisis?

Even text jokes about the most sought after NFA rice emerged. Here goes the joke:

"I may be a star now. Famous, hard to get, delicious, but the truth is, I am simple and sometimes it hurts me to see people struggling to get a little of me." by NFA Rice

How excruciating it is to see that life in this beautiful and resource-rich country is not getting better at all. Most Filipinos resort to seeking jobs abroad which is a sad thing again because children are left with overseas mother, father or even both.

Have we lost the brains to uplift the Filipino life? What does our government officials really doing aside from bagging government funds? Are we just satisfied with the rich getting more rich and the poor becoming poorer than the rat?
