What is the point in having a 'high' standard of living (for some) if we are no longer able to live happily in our own traditional way in our own country ?
That is one major difference between here and the Philippines.
At least they haven't sacrificed their identity, customs and national pride...such as it is, now they're an independent nation.
Perhaps that's why you see such happy smiling faces everywhere, despite the hardships they suffer day to day.
