If Filipinos don't support each other on things that others could excel, then thats a real problem.
Miss Universe was the exception. The entire Philippine society was behind Pia. I thought that was great.
But I heard about that "talangka" (crab) mentality lots of times, which I think comes from negative feelings such as jealousy.
I heard that it means that "if I cannot make it, then you or no one should make it either".
Then we are all stay at the bottom by pulling everyone who are working hard to go up down till we all sink to the mud.
That's sad and cruel society.
People in other countries support others if others want to do better than what others had gone through before. Hopefully, Philippines will learn how to love and take care of others, especially if others want to better themselves.
Scrap that crab mentality. That hinders success in others and the society in general.
If you have the determination, vision, and hardwork, then people should see that and give support regardless of who they are, where they come from, and "whether or not they are good-looking".
Next time, it should be like, "if I failed to do it, then perhaps others can do better. I don't mind others trying to do better or make things better for the rest of us. We should support them by helping them out to go up to the top or succeed."
TO MY FILIPINO FRIENDS:
Winning Big4 is a work of art. Pia, Angelie, Bea, Ara, Megan, Janine, Shamcey and Venus know how to craft it.
They have the winning formula.
Use their expertise..
