The great topic 😀 I actually agreed that the forums are flooded with hate crimes & this forum needs a change.

I don't have the power to change the website layout. I can only move the post and ban certain members.

Talk to the Admin. As someone said, he only listens to women.

I don't think it's realistically possible but everyone in ASEAN understands that ASEAN unity would make ASEAN a megastate.

Yes, religion is one of them, Buddhism & Hinduism is considered paganism in Judaism, Christianity & Islam. Religion affects how laws and policies are made. For example, Thailand's abortion laws are legal for up to 12 weeks, while it's illegal in the Philippines.

@jun Yes, I was wondering if there is different religions and politics in the ASEAN countries. Do they have a chance to unite without provocation?

Its like how it is in here in America. This whole big quarrel between the left and the right.

Religion, race, politics, history & other national interests.

The Philippines does not exactly have a separation of church & state structure. The Catholic church still has a strong influence on government politics. Hopefully, when Protestantism grows from 10% to 50%, the Philippines will experience a complete transformation.

Oops, you're right, I forgot to mention the complicity in the Philippines government structure.
