We're losing all over again?

In the past 5 days, the Philippines began resistance in three of its original regions: Luzon, Mindanao and Visayas. Unfortunately, we Filipinos lost them all. 3 - 10, 0 - 10, and 0 - 10, respectively. How did it happen?

The most obvious reason lies behind the average citizen level. The Philippines, 16, and Indonesia 17. But that's not all.

The prolonged Indonesian occupation caused the Philippines to receive a pretty steady influx of Indonesian immigrants:

Region Total Residents Indonesian Citizens Difference
Luzon 397 90 307
Palawan 598 540 58
Visayas 706 534 172
Mindanao 622 483 139
TOTAL 2,323 1,647 676

It is apparent that in our homeland itself, Indonesian citizens residing in the country overwhelm the number of Filipino citizens residing the Philippines. So, whenever we conduct a RW in any region, we have less advantage against Indonesia.
