Yes You Can
Kaya Mong Maging Dakila (You can be a hero) is a collaboration of 40 artists that joined together to sing about Philippine political issues. It would be nice to just turn your back against all the bad things that’s been happening around us but I think that’s living in unreal world. Sadly, Philippine government had been embroiled with numerous political issues including the ZTE broadband scandal recently. Watch this related video:

It is important to take note that scandals do not only happen in the Philippines. Even first world countries do get entangled in scandals of something similar. But whether the cancellation of this national broadband network / ZTE scandal and other political issues significantly reduce the confidence of investors in the Philippines from China, USA and other countries is something to keep an eye for.
It would be nice to just be dependent amongst ourselves and not care about any foreign relations (both economic and political) but this isn’t the case. It is a vital ingredient, if a country is to progress. And with our present situation we do need investors from within our country, as well as from other countries, if we are to spearhead our economic development. I do hope that they remain positive about the Philippine economy.
Kaya Mong Maging DAKILA
