When my brother was stationed at Clark AFB, he picked up a wife over there. That was well over 30 years ago.
He and his wife went to the Philippines last Friday. He has been sending me videos of the places they have been visiting. The places are not the usual tourist places, the places are the heart of the country. There is some rough living going on there.
It struck me odd that there are some people here in the states crying about how bad it is here. After seeing these vids from my brother those people complaining don't have a clue. We have it great here. Our poor are wealthy compared to many Filipinos. I also noticed that the Filipinos seem happy, their power may go out at 4 pm and come back on the next morning on a daily basis, have no hot water, not sure where food will come from come tomorrow, most of them don't own a car much less a bicycle, but they are still happy. I've been to a few Filipino parties and they sure seem like a happy bunch of folks.. Anyhoo I found it all interesting.
