It's hard to apecct but a big percent of the Filipino electorate are not yet ready for a democratic system to begin with. The weakness of our illiterate electorate are being used by the intelligent, selfish, corrupt, unethical leaders that we have nowadays. They remain corrupt and rich while the big percent of our population suffers poverty. It is true that the middle class are being drained overseas because they have long lost hope and frustrations never left us. And so the poor remains poor and even poorer; the rich becomes more selfish. Poverty creates more illiterate electorate and so dirtier politics won't stop and can still be much worse in the future. Even from the beginning of our history, the distinction between the elite and the poor was already there, but what was bad about our history was the fact that we had our tipping point in people power 1986. We had our chance of helping to rebuild our nation and be on the right path to progress. Democracy could have worked for us back then, only if everybody worked for it. If the selfishness didn't creep back in our government. But maybe it was being too ideal for us to hope. Anyway, people power 1986 was triggered because Marcos created a monopoly system that even the few elite can't get in, so everybody protested. But when the dictator has fled, everybody went back to our own niches of selfishness. The ideals used on the streets were left on the streets, the promises uttered remained just promises, they were not put into practice. It is true that the new leaders of 1986 could have started their work right, but when the people were less vigilant, they started being their old selves again- practicing their rotten acts of corruption.
