The average Filipino right now is a laborer, either working in the construction industry or in agriculture. He just finished elementary and has worked early to provide for his family. If he's living in the urban areas, he's probably engaged as a unskilled worker or sweating it out in some service company, either as a janitor, or waiter or hired hand.
The average Filipino is NOT a college graduate. Only a few, about 4 percent of the entire adult population, are college graduates. With that figure, only about 5 million work legally or illegally abroad either as domestics, laborers, construction workers or medical staff.
Now, why do I write these things here?
Two reasons: I'm currently studying the best tactics on how to trigger aggressive reaction from the masses and two, what's the best language to apply for them to realize that they need politics to change their current State of Affairs.
This urge to study this stemmed from one question---why is there no successful mass-based revolt in the Philippines? Apart from the first EDSA, nothing has come out of attempts to rouse the masses to revolt. What would frustrate people enough to justify aggressive action?
