    Phillipines continue to destroy their future by simping for the white man’s burden, just like Japan and South Korea. Will they ever grow beyond being a housemaid factory for neighbouring countries? Its very sad, because once they fall into the trap of IMF leeches, its joever.

      Japan is honorary white considering their history of imperialism and racism, not to mention their current financial imperialism. They are not abused by the system - they are the system as much as Germany or Netherlands are.

      Phillipines is more like S. Korea in that they are willing participants of the status quo. The difference is that South Korea at least benefits by upholding the current system, unlike Phillipines who does it for free.
