no. let us not blame everything to the government. the problem with Filipinos is that, they have become disastrously dependent with what the government can do for them. like for example, during elections there is a relatively high number of Filipinos who accept "suhol". it is a payment given to a person to vote for a certain candidate. if Filipinos consider themselves as responsible citizens, why accept such things in the first place? so we can't blame those government officials because for them it is as saying as "bayad na kayo", you are paid.
