    I believe a lot of what goes on here is their culture as well as their financial status. I lived in the Forbes Park barangay in Makati when I was working and you had a quiet (expensive) neighborhood. I live in Bacong here for 11 years and the dogs wake me up during the night and the chickens early in the morning. I tell myself I am retired and have no real schedule and this how I decided to live the last quarter so I check the + - balance sheet and drink a little wine at night so I sleep better. Not so bad at the end of the day!
    Note: I know not everyone thinks like I do but I hope they find a balance.

    OK, I think some of you read more into my comment about accepting things as they are, than was intended. Let me clarify.

    I agree, as a "foreigner" I prefer guest of another country that we make the attempt to integrate into their society, not push our society onto them.

    What I was talking about was the mindset of the Filipino, as I presume that is what Glendazumba was inferring. As long as the Filipino people keep that attitude, then they get what it brings. It is up to them to change if they want to, rather than just complain.

    Hope this clarifies it for those that need it.

    I couldn't take the barking dogs, roosters crowing and the smell of sewage everywhere I went so I moved to the country side on the other side. Much more peaceful here. For now.

    We live also live at Sto. Rosario Heights and can't really confirm your complaints. Of course there are some dogs and roosters. Smell of sewage everywhere ? Not really. But never mind, if you are happy somewhere else the better.

    This country will not be my final destination, so as long as I will be here, try to enjoy all those things I really like and when no longer available or out of stock move on. As simple as can be so I let the pinoys live on the way for the next centuries as they do now, maybe some day some eyes will get open start to realize, not a bad idea @all to listen to some good advice of those foreigners to improve the overall situation to live in.

    I wasn't speaking of Sto. Rosario Heights per se but if you travel pretty much anywhere you will find the old Spanish sewer system is the drainage ditch as well. I bet you could hold a match over some of those holes in the concrete cover and start a fire the methane is so bad. Looking on Google Earth I can see a drainage ditch and just looking at an overview of the area there is a group of shanties abutting the project area to the west. I can hear the dogs and roosters and smell it from here. If you don't smell poo when you go out you should never have sinus surgery. If you dont hear the roosters and dogs then you have successfully built your internal walls. Very Asian. Keep it the way it is. And yes, thank you; much, much better.

    I believe the Philippines government will have to allow more outside investment and less corruption to gradually improve the mindset and conditions. The poorer provinces like Negros Oriental will probably be stuck “as-is” for years to come, sadly.

    That's exactly what they're doing now, Chinese and South Koreans are flooding into this country. As for corruption, that won't go away anytime soon unfortunately.

    Sure - it has not gone away in developed countries but much of it is hidden on the golf course or private clubs.

    I for one love the Philippines and just about everything about it. So very much reminds me of the "GREAT OLD DAYS" of the Western life.
