So, you think farming is the opposite of progress? Why does a nation have to be materialistic to be acceptable?
Like i said, the point of my suggestion is not because I view farming as the opposite of progress or anything negative because in fact, my father who is a retired Doctor is into agriculture, exporting Cavendish bananas. I also do not mean suggesting the use of pictures that imply materialism to replace whats existing. I mentioned the word primitive as that is, again, based on experience, impressions of some about the Philippines and/or Filipinos for that matter.
I know it does not seem to makes sense, why I suggest this no matter how I try to explain -again, without insisting. That is because, unless you are a Filipino who has seen, heard, and experienced such sorts of discrimination and "put downs" in general, you'll never really know and understand what it is like.
Nevertheless, if the background does remain as it is, so be it. I am just suggesting because, after all, I am a Filipino.
I am not embarassed as a basis for suggesting. I hope I have explained enough.
