I think because most of us are selfish and have a pretty high amount of ego. For example, if you were to put yourself in the situation where the nearest pedestrian crossing lane in the busy road where about 200meters away from you but all you wanted was to do something on the other side and do it without wasting alot of your energy. Clearly you have the choice to just cross the damn street because no one is looking and nobody really cares if you do cross that street, because people don't care about you breaking the rules. We tend to lack discipline when we do stuff that we think we are going to cut down some "time" in executing some task we need to accomplish. And sometimes just merely because we have a relatively high ego and you just want to break rules because its fun to break rules.

Because the Philippine government

has been neglecting the Philippine military for 2 decades

in years 2000-2010

marked the transition of Philippine military from a decent but outdated force

into a far weaker one

In 2012 $1.8 billion worth of money was approved for the initial

modernization of the Philippine military

It was 10x higher than that of the annual expenditure for

modernization of the military in the past 10 years.

In 2013 Feb The Philippine Department of National Defense

Approved the acquisition for 12 Trainer/ Light fighter jets to be acquired

from South Korea.

The reason why Philippines is a weak state aside from massive corruption

is that the past regimes have significantly neglected the

Armed Forces.
