It’s the political culture, not the system

Mr. Oriel:
Your suggested form of government and reasoning is a model that works with those kind of mentality of people and government officials, but majority of the Filipinos, the government officials, and their politicians do not think and act like the way you do or the people in those countries where that form of government works.
For example, do those people sell their votes, do they ask their public officials for dole outs or help for almost everything they need for their families instead of earning a living for themselves? Do those government officials or politicians get the money to dole out from the government coffers through illegal means? Do those politicians enrich themselves and their families by corrupt practices? Do most of the newspapers in those countries condone corrupt politicians by not publishing corruption? Do they have SOP for their "PORK BARREL PROJECTS"?
You can suggest the best form of government for the betterment of the Philippines but it will not work until that attitude and mentality is changed. Start first with enforcing the laws and the Philippines may not even need to change the form of government.
As I stated in my postings many years ago, there are available qualified candidates for execution of politicians and government officials almost every day of the year.
Now, please do not ask for evidence just to make an argument because there is preponderance of evidence.
