When your "education" limits your imagination it's called indoctrination. Those who cannot think for themselves are truly lost.
Education should be a rewarding experience which allows you to think, imagine, question, doubt and solve problems. 🧠
Two things to understand about the Philippines. First, those are incredibly cool, wickedly funny people. Second, the Marcos family stole so much money during the US-backed dictatorship (and stayed rich when they moved to Hawaii) that they could buy people off and rewrite history
If there's any country with the highest moral ascendancy to discuss about dictators, it's Germany. They had the worst of them all. And they learned from it.

Nutribun was a USAID-initiative project made to combat malnutrition in the country due to severe poverty during the term of dictator Marcos. It was never his project to begin with.

Once again, we are the laughing stock of the world. And while they laugh and call us stupid, Filipinos will continue to be victimized, the poor will be poor, the evil will get richer, politicians get dumber, and you will age dramatically before you even realize that its hopeless.
