    Hello Robert, thank you very much for coming to our country and you are always welcome to be our guest. I am writing to try to answer your question:

    Can someone explain me WHY those people still think so different compared to us? The Philippines live today, like we lived 50-60 years ago (if not longer ago)
    --------------
    ANSWER: I am an expat living outside of the Philippines and I do not think that we Filipinos think differently, but rather we think or act based on what we currently know and what we have (resources, knowledge, etc). Most of our people back home just doesnt have the knowledge to think like those who were born i the first world countries (like in the west) or like their compatriots who were now either migrated or working (living) outside the country where innovation is at its best because of the resources that the advanced countries have.

    The Philippines is an ARCHIPELAGO located in the FAR EAST. We are just FAR from the rest of the world, most of our people doesnt have the means to go out of the country to explore (and experience) and bring back new ideas. Although we have some modern cities, the expansion is very slow because of our geographical structure.

    I am sure that you noticed that FILIPINOS smile a lot and very welcoming - thanks also to this geographical structure that we have because most of our people treat people from other islands as their GUEST, even though they are compatriots.

    The Philippines has started to be "seen" again in the world map. THANKS TO THE INTERNET - our tourism campaign says "ITS MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES" - I am sure you had some fun already, but there are more to see. I have read on your previous posts that you were looking for ruins, parks, etc. you are lucky to be in the Philippines because it is every where! You just need to plan your vacation well - like you can visit INTRAMUROS and FORT SANTIAGO for some great historical sites. We have lots of Spanish era churches specially in Northern Luzon and you can visit VIGAN too where they are preserving Spanish era city. You can also see the Rice Terraces, you can have an adventurous trip to different volcanoes (Mayon, Taal, Camiguin, etc). Beautiful beaches are everywhere. We have big parks like LUNETA and BURNHAM park in Baguio City where the weather is cool. Or if you want to see some more beautiful things, DIVE in our beautiful underwater parks and shipwrecks (spanish ships, japanese planes, etc) - you just need a professional travel agency/guide to bring you to those placess.

    I would like to say more, but I am trying to make this short. But reading between the lines, I hope I made you smile and think about my answer.

    Come back to the Philippines again!
