If only RP could provide jobs for all its people, there wouldn't be a diaspora. Part of the population wouldn't seek greener pastures within and beyond the Asian continent and there wouldn't be a necessity to literally kowtow to citizens of developed economies. Channeling our patience towards our stereotype professions in foreign land, sometimes in a hostile environment, contributes to our motherland's coffers in addition to providing financial support to our families. It's these contributions from very intrepid individuals that is propelling us to the top of financial hierarchy.
There is still a long way to go in eradicating poverty and hunger. There is the unequal distribution of wealth. There should be strong government programs providing income generating projects to the deprived members of society. A few should not be in a hurry to populate the earth. These were the heavily-debated topics during my adolescent years, more than two decades later, the pictures still show tearful scenes of deprivation. These days it's more high-tech, the debates are being argued and deliberated online.
But talk is merely, talk. It all boils down to good governance and a majority imbibing the virtues of good foresight.
