What I'd like to see

... for my country.

1. Good rail transit systems all over the country so that if I want to go to either Abra or Bicol, I will just have to hop on the next train.

2. Underground train system (like the Tube) all over Metro Manila. But for starters, please finish the MRT line going from North Avenue to Fairview.

3. A centralized bus system and very clean bus stations.

4. Cheaper airline tickets and more destinations.

5. Good road system (please fix the one that leads to the Bicol region, the one in Camarines).

6. Less shopping malls and more manufacturing establishments.

7. Increase of state subsidy on education. (Let's not use expired chemicals for our laboratory classes please.)

8. Improved language skills. Pinoys should be multi-lingual or mapag-iiwan din tayo balang araw ng China.

9. Good sewerage systems para wala nang baha lalo na kapag tag-ulan.

10. Efficient solid waste management.

11. Tourism that will truly cater to the Pinoys. Wouldn't it be nicer if Filipinos could enjoy the beauty of their country first? Meaning: affordable travel packages. Remember our minimum wage.

12. Government officials believing and trusting our own scientists first. Look at Al Gore. I've heard that he doesn't even have a science degree but hear him talk about global warming in the Philippines. As if he knows anything about what's going on here in the first place!

13. Acceptance of the mining industry. This is one way of alleviating our poverty.

I think there are still lots of other things that we want to see in our country in the future. Therefore, this list will be updated. You may add to the list if you want.
