    Philippines in the late 50s and early 60s was beginning to become a progressive country. Let it be a lesson to all countries, that corruption and incompetent leaders will destroy a nation. A very good example is the Philippines where corrupt and incompetent leaders govern the nation to poverty and economic disaster. Thanks for sharing your wonderful short video.

      It was Marcos who destroyed our country. The Philippines was one of the ten countries with booming economies in Asia in 1950 to 60s. When Marcos took the presidency in January 1966, it was the beginning of the collapse of the Philippine Economy.

      @@levjarez527 patawa ka! Si Marcos ang nagpahirap sa Pilipinas at mga Filipino. Bakit, di mo ba alam na negative ang GDP na ating bansa pagsapit ng 1980s at lalong naghihirap ang Pilipinas sa ilalim ng diktadorya at kurap na pamamahala ni Marcos. FYI, bago naging presidente si Marcos, 1 sa 10 mauunlad na bansa ang Pilipinas sa Asia at nawala lang ito sa listahan nang dumating sa buhay ng mga Filipino sina Marcos at Imelda na mga ganid sa pera’t kapangyarihan.

      My Tata was one of those people, he was later granted citizenship to the US and for that I can’t thank him enough. Our family had 32 hectares of land which was stolen easily through corruption, 3rd party militias used to roam and target my relatives because of money. But during WWII my Tata didn’t realize his life would change. He not only saved several US military men, he also assisted the Igorot tribe in taking down the Japanese, he watched them decapitate the Japanese with their headhunting axes. No matter what, Filipinos still find a way to survive, no matter how harsh of a life they go through. I appreciate my Tata so much, if it wasn’t for his heroism we would not be living the life we have today.

      He managed to escape and survived it. I was wondering, if he didn't got away, I may not be here right now. Sadly, he passed away in 1976 before I was born(1978). So I didn't get to meet him.. but my mother always talks about him.

    Life of the filipino featured in this video is very, very familiar to me. Means of livelihood is agricultural. Fishing is mostly the source of food with vegetables grown in the backyard. Life was very simple. There was no roads connecting to other towns. No vices, no drugs, no syndicated crimes & people know each other even in far flung barrios. Parents tried their best for the education of their children. Many became professionals & it changed the life of the filipino family. Politicians in those days became rich who engaged in logging who easily got forest concession. Americans were also in logging harvesting the old grown forest trees. I watched all of this the passing of years since my birth in 1947.

    But when the Americans arrived in 1890, the country was over 90% covered by forest. After the WW2, the parity rights (Bell Trade Act of 1946) given to Americans had allowed them to cut more hard wood trees and by time they completely left in 1974, the forest was denuded to only 30% had remained.

    People will often say that "ohh what could've been". But here's the thing, we can't change what happened. I know it's easy to wish for a time machine and change one little thing in our history that we think will have the best change for our country. And it's easy to lose hope either. We will never know what it was truly like unless we have seen it for ourselves, even those who did will think differently of each other just like how we are now. Different opinions, different beliefs, different ways of thinking. We all want what's best for our country, and that's what our leaders tried to do.. emphasis on "tried". But forgetting what happened in the past. What does it take to run a country like ours?

    It's really fascinating to see how beautifully our country was presented, but now we could now see how the little issues the narrator pointed out grew into huge social problems in the future
    10:00 This is how the Philippines lost 50% of its forest reserves in a few decades. Forests were never replanted. Many of the wood exported decades ago still sit in warehouses in Japan to build Japanese architecture that people from around the world travel to see. Total logging ban in the 90s is why you barely see wood in our country today.
    10:32 As it was back then, until today, everything gravitated around and was dependent on Imperial Manila. Manila connected us to the world, but also marginalized the rest of the country. 12:12 For generations the 'Filipino dream' was to live in Manila. We failed to distribute development throughout the country, there were no other major cities outside Manila until recently. Now Manila is the rectum of the world.
    12:00 Cool jeeps, great symbol of our resourcefulness. 60 years later, nothing changed, and most of them are smoke-belching metal coffins. Modern alternatives are so difficult to implement because it would put the jeep industry out of work. Now a great symbol of our inability to innovate.
    4:15 Our once-praised western democracy led to a culture of uneducated and misinformed voting where people no longer see the benefits of the democratic process.
    4:36 The Filipinos are well-off. We aren't an inherently poor nation, we failed to keep up with progress and innovation. Many of the agricultural methods (and jeeps) shown are literally the same as it is today. We became too comfortable with our 2nd place in Asia.
