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.
