There is no way, in such a crappy country, that I am the only one that does not have a career? Most people can't even read or write. The standard here is almost non-existent. Surely someone knows? Or knows someone that does?
It's quite a stretch to state, or even believe, that most people can't even read or write and the standard here is almost non-existent. A remark which is really insulting to the Filipino people.
(Being Scottish, I could very well say that about any country whose citizens don't speak the Queen's English. I don't, as I realise that the English Language is a centuries old continuing "work in progress".
"Most people" in a population of 100 Million plus, is an awful lot of folks that you must have met, or known, and have tested their reading and writing skills in their native languages, to stand by such a statement.
Crappy country? Execute plan B if it isn't to your liking.

My thoughts only.
