Colonial Mentality August 2, 2008
Ramon Tulfo makes a good point today about leadership.
But I find use of the term “colonial mentality” as mere name calling and not very useful. Certainly, Rudi Giuliani doesn’t know jack about leadership in the Philippine context, but I don’t know that he claims to.
In any event, colonial mentality, if at all, it’s a disease of the elite, not of the masa.
Go talk to just about any taxi driver or almost anyone living in the province. But head over to a coffee shop or hotel lobby in Makati or to a Forbes Park soiree and you’ll get another, more toxic view.

Colonial Mentality is a disease. That is always thinking that the grass is greener on the other side. It hinders progress

I agree with this. Colonial mentality has long been dead in the context of the Philippine society.
In any event, colonial mentality, if at all, it’s a disease of the elite, not of the masa.
And if it existed in the past the same way that it continues to exist until now, it it only in the circle of the elite.
