Being the wonderful country that it is, the Philippines is known for many things, two of them are the following:
1. Social Media Capital of the World
2. The country that is never satisfied with its government
In a bout of slight genius (triggered by an overdose on mallows) I realized that these two are probably co-related with one another.
Filipinos love to be heard. Whether its because they had an ingenious scientific breakthrough, or taking a picture of their next meal, Filipinos love broadcasting it for the world to know. They love the feeling of being heard, of being noticed.
(That's also probably why Filipinos make such great entertainers)
Of course, this love for attention transcends even from outside their screens. As one can see from watching the evening news, a group of people will always be complaining about one thing or another. And in the country where everyone has an opinion on one thing or another, coupled with the people's love for attention, the result is a nation where public demonstrations become not only something common, but it also ceases to become inspirational, and rather becomes a nuisance to the public.
So, that's just my two cents on the entire thing, if someone has already thought of this, then I congratulate you because you are one observant genius.
