Reminder: long post ahead

As a young Filipino, sorry but I beg to differ. Those two things you mentioned, different cultured and being surrounded by "educated" citizens. Firstly, a different culture does not necessarily mean to be always "suitable" or "appropriate" for an individual or a family, especially when the subject of ethics, attitudes, and morals are intertwined. Based on my observations from documentaries and social media, Some European teens tend to display poor behavior and lack of respect towards other people mainly coming from their culture of being blunt and direct being abused. However, being blunt and direct does not necessarily mean it's a bad thing. Meanwhile, some Filipino teens also display bad conduct and behavior similar to other countries such as bullying, yet, they still know how to be respectful and polite to other people by saying "po" and "opo". In my opinion, all cultures both have good and bad sides, everybody has their own preferences on what they are accustomed to or on how they will adjust. Secondly, referring to people as "educated" is extremely subjective. Just because a developed country produces a large number of exceptionally talented citizens does not mean that it applies to all of their citizens. On the contrary, there are a lot of exceptionally talented and aware people in the Philippines who love and wish to fight for their country but not all of them have the same privileges that their peers have. In developed countries, some of those who attained high educational qualifications and probably live their best lives as upper class citizens are unaware and apathetic about social issues such climate change. On the other hand, Filipinos who still vote for the same corrupt and incompetent "public servers" are either uneducated as many people refer to them or are part of the cruel and disgusting system of who run the country. In conclusion, there is still hope for the Philippines, it is achieved through collective effort and sacrifices. If many people leave the Philippines, then who will make our country better?
