Why the Philippines is poor – the empathy solution

Here’s another answer to the question.  It says we’re poor because we are “bad”:  we have no discipline, we tolerate bad leaders, etc. etc.  Therefore, to get rich we should change ourselves.

Unfortunately, it’s not quite the right answer.  We can be good, in that sense that will make Santa Claus bring us Christmas, but still we will remain poor.

Why is that?
