Here's one very interesting topic for discussion. Hope Filipinos in this forum can contribute their thoughts to this topic.

Early this year, Survey Research Hong Kong released the Asia-wide Happiness Survey. And Filipinos topped the list being happier individuals than any other Asians. The survey showed that despite poverty, 94 percent of Filipinos are more contented with their lives.

This isn't surprising really. Because when you come to the Philippines, smiling faces are everywhere. We have experienced so many tragedies and adversities as a nation and yet, we always believe that everything can become better. Our positive attitude has become our coping mechanism.

Hmmm...so what else do you think contributes to Filipinos' happy disposition?
