We still band into tribal units for self interest rather than the common good. Pinoys abroad cannot resist to organize social regional organization resulting to unnecessary competitions instead of building a strong foundation of friendship. This practice results to subjective and biased judgment favoring more on persons within the same tribal/regional group like job hiring, election, etc.The Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212065427632311604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988840146314740773.post-3067976884713364482009-12-12T15:12:56.894+03:002009-12-12T15:12:56.894+03:00Ms.Jo, your company enrolled you in an arabic spea...Ms.Jo, your company enrolled you in an arabic speaking course?

It also happens in other form in the Philippines. Not only that, like in some organizations, it's not only about the race, but with University identification, too.witsandnutshttp://witsandnuts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988840146314740773.post-84903826406143162252009-12-12T13:26:13.218+03:002009-12-12T13:26:13.218+03:00RJ, your comment reminds of the saying - "Giv...RJ, your comment reminds of the saying - "Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give to God what belongs to God".
