Filipinos used to place education in very high regard. That is not the case anymore. With the Internet and easy access to knowledge fewer people are pursuing education, preferring instead to go work in call centers where the money is good. Education is seen as elitist and an education in engineering or science as dull. Reality television makes it seem that everyone can easily become a celebrity and hobnob with the rich an powerful.
