Misplaced Nationalism Or Pure Corruption?

Comment from a reader the story The Responsibilities Of Investors, Korean Or Not

Bulletin, your commentary explaining your meaning to your readers seems to clarify comments of 'Korean invasion'. I did not want to be negative, I thought your comment, "keep any comments" was sorta funny, like opening a door to your dog, saying, 'do not go out'.

Over a period of many years, in and out of Korea, what impressed me, they are very aggressive business wise, this is obvious, per se, Korea versus Philippines, following Korean war & WWII, the help & opportunities offered to Korea from United States were much less than opportunities & help to The Philippines look what Korea accomplished in a much shorter time, 5th or 6th ranking industrial nation in the world, (Philippines, maybe not quite a banana republic?) the relationship will eventually work out to some degree, much like relationship with U.S.

Smart Philippians will recognize the benefits of financial input, opportunities for employment, etc. one problem with The Philippines, they have misplaced nationalism to their detriment. A step child syndrome. Nationalism in Korea is very intense & legitimate, comparatively speaking, it is main difference.

The greatest republican president, Theodore Roosevelt, made this statement shortly after taking the oath of office in a speech before the congress over 100 years ago. "United States should grant Philippines their independence immediately or they will be our stepchild forever" about as profound as you can get.

Again, i want to express my appreciation of your bulletin, I look forward every day.

respectfully,
