The president of a top notch electronics company in the Philippines made this hard-hitting comment. And I read it with gusto! He said, and I quote " We see (in the Philippines) a lot of 'starts' but we need more 'completion'. Very sharp observation! And I share his sentiment.
Indeed the country today is plauged by the same mindset through ages. People blame the Spaniards colonizing the country. Hence the introduction of this so called 'manana habit' (procastinating). Fast forward 500 years after Spanish rule, the Americans came and so with the Japanese. Despite surviving 2 world wards, Filipinos still continue to harbor such attitude.
Is leadership the cause? Is it policies? Or is the statement a very generalized statement which only happens in a small segment of the country?
If I know all the answers to these, I would run for a government leadership position one day!
