When you live in the Philippines or a country like that, you develop something of a very thick skin because you're confronted every day with all of the problems all around you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My worry is how to protect the Filipino.
I articulate the deepest need of the Filipino people, which is reform of a corrupt culture.
I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.
The divine flame of thought is inextinguishable in the Filipino people, and somehow or other it will shine forth and compel recognition. It is impossible to brutalize the inhabitants of the Philippines!
I really do not know. I really do not know how to solve the problem of the Philippines. I cannot be the savior of this republic.
Normally, the thin-skinned have an endless array of excuses for why their workaday interactions are so much harder to bear for them than for the rest of us. In the eyes of the self-suffering, they are being victimised, used and always abused, when they're actually experiencing exactly the same body blows as the rest of us.
I love my homeland, but it's an absurd country. Politics in the Philippines is like spectator sports!
The Filipino embraces civilization and lives and thrives in every clime, in contact with every people.
The people in the Philippines are so extraordinarily nice.
Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.
