and again to Mr. Alecscotland (i will put the name here for the benefit of Mr. dmigtysolomon, whom might misunderstand my statement again) as I quote your statement "i cannot be proud of a country that only exports manual labor & not ingenuity that really, is the element of nation building",

filipinos may not have Honda or Toyota under their badge but what is not to be proud of exporting manual labor, it is easy to build a car, easy to develop equipment and gadgetries, but it is hard to produce good minds, good people with good values, and the philippines were able to produce such people..now top that...
