Why does the Philippines hide their terrible gang problem?

Question

There are so mant crips and Bloods in the philippines I would recomend that nobody invest or visit there. They do not want anyone to know because the politicians children run the gangs. It is bad enough that the Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese are allowed by government officials to come and exploit into prostitution Filipinas and allowed to trick them into leaving the country into forced prostitution.

I went to visit friends in Dumaguete, I found that the city is full of gangs trying to be like our American Black gangs. I could not believe how the police and politicians allowed them to do any crime. I latter found out that their own children are leaders of these gangs. It made me sad to see that the people do not fight back against these gangs who destroy the culture and peace of the city. They need to refuse all business and jobs to anyone associated with known gang members. The police need to arest these gang members and hold them as terrorist. I had many friends who were going to invest many millions of U.S. dollars into bussinesses to prvide growth and high paying jobs for the poor in the area. Now they are going to invest in Vietnam instead. They cannot risk money on an area that does not provide a safe area were people can live and be educated without fear of rape robbery and murder. I pray that the people of this area fight back agianst these terrible gangs that are destroyng the future of their children. I am going to ask the politicians to remove the gangs one more time, after that I will invest my money in a different country if they don't stop them with all the force that they do against the muslims now.

They are basically a third world country in denial.  They want to appear favorable on the world stage and promote any tourism, which is actually much higher than you would imagine.

Theres a lot of problems there and there no going away anytime soon.....corruption is endemic and most people don't want to know...especially from foreigners....there just as likely to tell you to p...s off back to your own country....constructive criticism....is seen as a personal attact on Filipinos....

Foreign investors are not really welcome it takes away power from the big business people controlling the people and politicians....

Answer 3

No.

Don't think they hide.

Do not even know what went wrong out there.

With the young ones all at loss and stranded out there.

Do not even have the solution.

When the misery could not be trace or solve with science and mathematics.

Even with multi-billion dollars of  latest and modern technology of artificial intelligence of Mr. Big Brother, on land, in outer space or sea-below will not be able to trace or solve the mess out there.

Can only be solve and trace with the words of God.

From the Book of the Living.

Not with the Book of the Dead.
