During the weekdays, en route to work, I always ride the jeepney from Magallanes going to Mall of Asia. Here's the thing, jeepneys have the choice of lining up in the inner parking or outer parking where passengers go and ride. As I do this routine daily, I have made an observation wherein people would always go to what they think is the most filled jeepney and yes, I understand that they were in a rush and it is a logical reason. But in the back of my mind, I think that if the passengers will flock and go to the more spacious jeepney, in minimal time, it will be full but what they do is that they ignore it and the consequence, the jeepney gains no passengers.
I compare this scenario to our country. I do not intend to offend anyone, but this is more of a personal opinion. Filipinos would always go the more developed country, to the more flourished country and leave the nation. Similar to the jeepney, how can our nation develop if we will leave it behind? If we do not give it a chance to flourish? If its children, most of all the professionals, who we believe is our hope, will neglect it? If we only devote ourselves to our nation, invest our time and skills to it, in no time, we can achieve what "abroad" countries have.
