We are poor because we are poor-- this is not a tautology. The culture of poverty is self-perpetuating. -F. Sionil Jose

It's a shame I only read an article of F. Sionil Jose. The one entitled "An Open Letter to Noynoy." (To the non-existent person who doesn't know F. Sionil Jose, he's a columnist in the Philippine Star.)
Now, I came across this video accidentally and that accident placed things in perspective. I dedicate this video to all "mayayabang" Filipinos out there.

To all of you, inhale this!
