PTF Home

I agree with you. Most Filipinos are still tied up to that "get good grades so that you can finish school and get a stable job in a great company" mentality. We should be past that line of thinking. THe most successful people in the world are not employees. They may be business owners, investors, celebrities, etc. But very few (if any) employess.

That's why I gave up my career as a Physical Therapist to build my own business. I have never met a successful PT (retired with lots of cash) but I know of several people who own businesses and are now reaping the rewards. One's a computer shop owner, another's a franchise owner, another has a home based business, etc. Different backgrounds, same end result: success.

pero... san ka naman kukuha ng puhunan ng businnes mo kung naguumpisa ka pa lang? kelangan mo muna ng pera diba? so...kelangan mo rin muna mag-earn ng pera as an employee?

yup yup you're right, they were start from the scratch talaga, at naging millionario dahil sa sipag at tyaga

Kagaya ng pinoy na pumupunta sa abroad, may sipag at tyaga... kaya nakaka-ahon sa kahirapan

It is not always the case na sasabihin ng pinoy sa magulang nya na pag pupunta ng abroad, "i want to work and earn money for a living"

ngayon, sasabihin nya, "i want to work and earn money for my business"

think positive! if you base your own success with others' failures, talagang walang mangyayari sayo... i mean, magpapa-apekto ka ba?

Like your given example, nakaka-awa, pero kanya-kanyang diskarte sa buhay yan...

Ngalang napapansin ko, mas inuuna ng Pinoy ang profit kaysa sa maging masikap, ewan ko kung tama ako o mali, lalu na ang mga variety store ng Pinoy dito sa Toronto, mas mahal ang presyo kaysa Intsik, pati restaurant, it's sad to say poor quality.

In my opinion, Filipinos are infatuated with high paying jobs. How often do I hear, "this is the perfect job for me. My salary is high and the company's benefits are great." A few months later, I'd hear them complain, "this job is agony. My salary does not keep up with my expenses. My boss sucks. The compny treats its employees badly...." and so on.

There's nothing wrong if you opt to be employed or self employed. However, if you don't take steps to control your life, don't complain when others do.

Still Pinoys end up working as skilled employees wherever they go...bam!!
Maybe that's how Pinoy's tend to be diba...

Mga anak, alam nyo ba na si Luso Tan este Lucio Tan ay magbobote, nagtutlak ng kariton, Bote, Garapa, Dyaryo nung kabataan niya, ngayon ey siya ay isa ng HIGANTE na nagme-may-ari ng malalaking pag-aari. Ang sikreto daw niya e, ALISIN ANG INGGIT SA KATAWAN AT HUWAG MAGMAMADALI SA TUBO, PATIENCE IKA NGA.

Sa Pinoy naman anak, maganda ehemplo si Manuel Villar. SIPAG AT TIYAGA ang prinsipyo. Dating Shoe Shine Boy at Vendor ng isda, ngayon ay may ari na din ng malalaking pag-aari naging Senador pa.

Siguro wala sa nacionalidad yan, nasasa tao na lamang yaan.

Madami din naman sa mga Tsinoy ang mahihirap ey, di ba naman ang mga drug trafickers e yung maiigsi ang apelyido heheheheh kaya yumaman ey

Ang Pilipino kasi, mgaling manglait sa sarili. Para bang walang sense of national pride. Parang Italiano na nagsasama sama lang pag soccer ang discarte, tayo naman, proud kapag may Pinoy achiever abroad. Lol, we should look at our own weaknesses and learn from them but therefore, we must have confidence with ourselves as a people.

Isang dahilan ay dahil ang mga pinoy ay gusto laging playing safe. Even with pinoy business men. Hindi masyadong nag ta-take ng risk. Chinese business men like to gable. Kaya naman marami ding na ba-bunkcrupt sa kanila. TO prove my point, punta ka sa mga casino anywhere in the world.. puro intsik laman.

Isa pang dahilan ay ang mga pinyo kasi magaling manisi at magturo ng kapwa pinoy kaya pinoy din ang nasisisi at nalilintikan sa bandang huli. tsk...tsk...tsk..... pinoy din ang nagbababa sa kapwa pinoy...

ewan ko, pero pinoy ngayun makasarili.

Well, some of the people I knwo here in States,, they have great jobs and big houses and good life...

But back in Philippines,, probably because of the economy. Kung mababa lang ang mga foods and clothes,, filipinos will probably gonna save the extra money to save for their child's college tuition or something like that and get their children into a good college and finish college...

I agree.

I think it's not the economy at all. Looking back at history, the Chinese mestizos were already above the natives. Many were businessmen and hacienderos.

The problem that I see with the native Filipinos is the "puwede na yan" mentality at minsan masyado tayong mukhang pera at show-off sa mga kadugo. Yung mga nagDDH sa ibang bansa, marami sa kanila ang nakapagtapos ng college pero after 15 years, katulong pa rin? Why? Wala namang masama sa pagiging katulong pero bakit tila satisfied nalang sila sa pagiging katulong, pero come to think of it may degree naman sila. Siguro habang nagkakatulong sila, puede silang maghanap ng trabaho ng related sa degree na natapos nila.

Yung mga tsinoy, hindi ganun. Usually, they stared with the menial jobs pa nga, nung nakaipon nagtayo ng maliit na resturant hanggang sa kumita, nagexpand.. and so on and so forth.

It's with the Filipino mentality.

Why the Chinese or for that matter, the Jews & I also notice a burgeoning Muslim Filipino mercantile class? Because they have homogenous languages & cultures. They agree on what a Chinese, Jew & Muslim is. Same goes with the EU & UK nations.

People will ask, why the US with its plurality? Because English is their national language & they accept that they are mostly immigrants. (I like australia better because they are acknowledging their history of penal colonialism & mass immigration at the cost of displacing the native Aboriginal populace). Even Singaporeans thrive on plurality & made English their national language.

Filipiinos are divided & insecure about their identity. We can't decide on our national language (siguro shortcut texting na lang?). We argue over our national hero so we don't have a national role model. We still make each other feel insecure about wearing Tatak Pinoy.

We see scarcity while foreign investors see abundance of opportunity (otherwise, they should've packed up & left if they were really self-respecting businessmen). We see it as a mark of privilege to be above the law rather than be ashamed for breaking it. We see image as more important than the truth based on the totality & context of facts.

While we operate under this paradigm, we as a Filipino race, will progress at a turtle's pace & Filipinos who operate by principles of good governance & the rule of law will be at a disadvantage & be exploited.
