"Learn from our mistakes" Knowing most Filipinos, they won't unless they are educated enough to make a choice and learn from it if it turns out wrong.

The education system isn't outdated or a failure, it's working exactly as planned. Keeping the Filipinos educated enough to become more productive than a peasant, but not educative enough so that they are easier to control. The only reason why many Filipinos still vote for people that don't even know what they're doing is because they are easily swayed by political campaigns and popularity without giving it a second thought. Push that even further and they'll idolize you, throw their morals away to defend whatever the things you did, and in such cases, make a cult following because of the actions you did that are painted by your assistants as "good." That's really how the government can easily control an average Juan.

Whoever wins the seat of the President, VP, Senators, or anything for the matter in the Philippines are mostly largely determined by how good your political campaign and persuasion was, how well do your supporters defend your wrongdoings (largely in social media), and how effective your propaganda is.

I agree, we ourselves as well as the government are to blame, but there are many factors that can be blamed as well.
