It's a social dilemma, this.

Parents using their kids as their own insurance plans.

When they get old, their kids will take care of them, whether they like it or not.

Let's explore what's causing this and see if we can stop it from bleeding into the next younger generation.

He is probably the most famous Filipino to ever hit the international scene. But these days, his name isn't in the level of Manny or Jake Cyrus or any famous Pinoy out there, and I think it is because of a good reason.

He has made Don't Stop Believin' number 1 in the Billboard charts a few years after it became a number 1 song), made Journey more famous than before (and not that they aren't) and has given himself a platform to highlight his God-given skills.

His "journey" started with 5% luck (Neal Schon searched for YouTube videos of cover bands), but the remaining 95% was all up to the legen that is Arnel Pineda.

Virtual Wallets, automated government transactions, checking in and out of hotels.

These are some of the stuff we expect to have seamless processes.

Why is the country struggling to establish an ease of doing things? Bureaucracy? Too much politics? Culture? Tara, pag usapan natin.

It's not just about nostalgia, or being nostalgic. Traditions are what make us more human.

Traditions are both good and bad. It's how you benefit from them that will make you want to continue doing it or otherwise.

But maintaining a good tradition speaks more about your discipline than the tradition itself.

Bakit nga ba di mo pa nakikita phone mo sa panaginip mo?

Is it because hindi pa or hindi mo lang maalala kung nangyari na nga ba siya?

Subukan nating guluhin sarili natin with this episode.

No need to know who the guy is.

This episode is a very intimate one, coz it has to do with a guy that the 99.9% of the world population doesn't know. But it's okay that way.

Listen to know the guy, is all I am gonna say.

It's the first time in my podcast's history!

I was able to talk to Lord!

Not the Lord, but Lord Gen, a good friend who thinks he travels in the same bandwidth of thoughts as I am. Who am I to think otherwise?

It's the first time ever to invite a guest for an episode or any episode at that.

In this episode, we got to talk about why gravity is similar to running or managing your own shit in life.

"Ang ganda ng Pilipinas!"

"Para kang nasa ibang bansa!"

The most stupid advertising idea embedded in tourism campaigns, or in our own culture.

Why can't we just promote the country like it's the only beautiful place on earth?

I admit, I am fond of tackling social dilemma. Pinoy social dilemma at that.

Call me anti-social, but there's fun in talking about why Pinoys behave this way or that way.

This one, is one of the many Pinoy social dilemma that need to stop. When something that's happening doesn't make, Pinoys don't tend to support it, coz it doesn't make sense to them. Like saving, exercising, getting insurance or even the smallest act of being on time.

How to end it? Play your part.

Crab Mentality, Crab Theory, Crabs in a Bucket, or Crab-Bucket Effect.

Admit it, one way or another, you were part of this social dilemma. It is so dangerous of a social dilemma that we associate it with helpless crustaceans.

That's how stupid this human behavior is. I mean, crabs don't deserve this association with them.

But unlike crabs, we humans have a way of stopping this social problem.
