Post Your Comment | Back to Main Discussion Bad Traits that should be removed from every Filipino in order to have a better society This is Jochebed Dela Cruz or commonly known as "OBED DELA CRUZ" but you can call me "OBED D.C." I admit that we, Filipinos are people with good values. We still have morality and goodness but there are bad traits that other Filipinos have. The bad traits are: Pretentious Boastful Arrogant Insolent Jealous Regionalistic Cheating Corruption Busybodies Mañana Habit Crab mentality False witness Negative minded Angered easily Disobedient Fatalistic* Individualistic These bad traits I have found from history books, internet, and my opinion. These bad traits should not exist but should be eliminated. I know it's a hard job to erase these traits from us today but if we will see the cause and the prize that if we will eliminate these bad traits, there will be a better Philipine society. We are a rich nation. We have lots of natural resources. Our skills are known to the world but there is a negative international image about us and that should be erased. I still see hope for our nation because positive possibilities are everlasting and we should be what winners are. We should improve our character, attitude, personality, and concept of life. There's a purpose. There's a reason. IS THERE NOT A CAUSE?

There's no way we should say that Filipinos are like this or like that 'coz mind u guys, all those you've enumerated are also commonly possessed by other nationalities...

I also want to add that we should stop cursing our nation because our words are powerful and we must think thoughts that can enhance the comfort of Philippine living. We must use our skills plus praying for our nation to be awaken from this nightmare and be cleansed from the mud.
