It is agreeable to say that foreigners shall not own land in the country, for the major reason that they are prone to abuse of our patrimonial heritage which is our birthright.
The high exchange rate of foreign currencies on the peso is a big disadvantage if the law or such measure is passed.
That even today, there are foreigners who were able to enjoy the lands in the country by using Filipino dummies, using the advantage of marrying Filipinas, just to make their residency and land ownership a reality in this scheme.
We don't like to return to the colonial age where racial discrimination and abuses were our daily life in those times, and to lose respect and dignity by being poor and nothing in the society is a mark of slavery made stronger by the exploits of these strangers.
We saw the time when we were slaves by these foreign powers, and take advantage of our idleness and being lowly educated against them.
The rich are naturally powerful, and adding the pain when the rich are foreigners and they own lands?
Even in the current experience, there are handful of situations where the abuses and use of their power by these foreigners are glaring, and the situation is even aggravated by our culture as filipinos as being fond of the white skins and practice the character of being submissive.
We cannot deny of this culture as we are easily delighted and blinded by the sight and company of these foreigners. We have a tendency to entertain them without reservations, that the plain fact that we if are appreciated by these whites made by their vile motives, we bow and honor to their prodding, and give in.
A kind of culture in us which is very dangerous if we let them own lands.
