The Philippines and India (thailand too) are similar in the fact that people in general lack social responsibility....garbage everywhere. People are motivated by personal greed or familial relations alone. I don't see how either of these countries could possibly attract people to live there. Dirty, overcrowded, rude, two faced, technologically backwards. The people in those places are desperate to get out of the shite holes they created and spread to destroy what somebody else built.
Yeah....Very true....I always have a hard time making people understand, that I'm different than other Indians or my place is miles ahead of rest of Asia and the world..Even higher than America and Europe....Its the only place in the world, that threw coco-cola away for using ground water, only place where people are aware of the toxic mercury in CFL blubs and use LED bulbs...Only place, where no GMO is used...
That's why i tell people to never go lame stream..and do their own research on India.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala
This in-spite of using fiat third world currency and living in India and its policies.
The state has the highest Human Development Index (HDI) in the country according to the Human Development Report 2011.[5] It also has the highest literacy rate 93.19%, the highest life expectancy (Almost 77 years) and the highest sex ratio (as defined by number of women per 1000 men: 1,084 women per 1000 men) among all Indian states. Kerala has the lowest homicide rate among Indian states, for 2011 it was 1.1 per 100,000.[6] A survey in 2005 by Transparency International ranked it as the least corrupt state in the country.
HDI Increase 0.854[3] (very high)
HDI rank 1st (2013)
It was 0.91, higher than America before the animals started coming in.
British Green activist Richard Douthwaite interviewed a person who remembers once saying that "in some societies, very high levels – virtually First World levels – of individual and public health and welfare are achieved at as little as sixtieth of US nominal GDP per capita and used Kerala as an example".[18]:310–312 Richard Douthwaite states that Kerala "is far more sustainable than anywhere in Europe or North America"
Kerala, a state in India, is a bizarre anomaly among developing nations, a place that offers real hope for the future of the Third World. Though not much larger than Maryland, Kerala has a population as big as California's and a per capita annual income of less than $300. But its infant mortality rate is very low, its literacy rate among the highest on Earth, and its birthrate below America's and falling faster. Kerala's residents live nearly as long as Americans or Europeans. Though mostly a land of paddy-covered plains, statistically Kerala stands out as the Mount Everest of social development; there's truly no place like it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_model
The Kerala model of development, based on the development experience of the southern Indian state of Kerala, refers to the state's achievement of significant improvements in material conditions of living, reflected in indicators of social development that are comparable to that of many developed countries, even though the state's per capita income is low in comparison to them.

That's why i told NewLife to visit Kerala first, plenty of Christains as well...Its not like other parts of India.
