    You have pretty much described 95% of the Philippines. Perhaps you might be happier in another country.

    Obviously, you are not yet used to the Pinoy way of life----Filipinos live like that----

    And by the way, Dumaguete is still partly rural so it is normal to see goats, dogs, cats, carabaos, ducks,chickens, cows, etc. crossing the streets. They do make noise like their humans. It will probably take some getting used to before you can sleep in peace.

    I have been to Sto. Rosario Heights a couple of times and I think it is way, way better than all the other housing projects in the city. I think you only need to accept the way things are. Hopefully, things will get better in the future.

    I believe the proper way to say that Spanish-Catholicism is sh*t sh*t..

    That is what keeps the Philippines the way it is, people just accept the way things are, that is the hindrance to change.

    Hey Happy, I think you've got it backwards. As a "foreigner," we need to adapt to the culture of the place to which we moved. Do not expect the Filipinos to adapt to our ways, they're mostly happier than a bunch of cranky foreigners... That's like Muslims wanting the residents of the country to where they moved, to adapt Sharia law or Filipinos expecting people in California to speak only tagalog.

    We can hope and encourage Filipinos to vote for clean politicians like the US (kidding, don't touch..), but that's their choice. We do not want a repeat of the US destroying the successful Muslim administration of Mindanao as they did in the first decades of the 20th century, giving the government and the land to "christians" thus beginning a century of resistance to foreign imposed government. And don't get me started on colonial Catholicism.

    Perhaps it is somewhere in between: No one should expect to move to a country as a guest, which includes all expats of course, and then dictate terms. But, I see no reason why any organisation, even nations, should reject the benefits of modelling - if guests can provide ideas, based on previous observations elsewhere, then it is 100% up to the country to take it on-board or not. The common consensus here on this Forum seems always to have been that if we cannot accept what we find then move away - so it is a case of accepting the situation as it is but offering appropriate advice, perhaps only when asked, and doing so with respect to a country's culture, which existed long before any of us were born.
