Philippines = hell. Superhigh income tax rates for the poor and middle class. Superhigh tax on consumption. Low salaries. Expensive food. Generally privatized healthcare and housing. Shitty mass transportation. Corrupt, opulent, greedy, really selfish ruling dynasties. Arise!
Sometimes I wonder what the tipping point is for the Philippines to change its political trajectory. By any standard, weβve experienced the worst: a strongman who tested the malleability of our democracy, and now, a thief for a president. What needs to happen for people wake up?
