comsci should be focus its 1-2 years (at least) only and only in programming.
but the other factor which we cant deny is the economic status of our nation, china is rich country and we are developing country, from there we can see limited resources that we have,
plus the fact that our government is infected of corruption, instead of giving the support for the phils. IT industry, the're putting it on in their pockets. :)
that's only my opinion.

2. Because we have to do senior high-school material in college (History, Theology, Philosophy, elementary algebra), together with some sprinkling of computer science (programming). Our foreign counterparts do nothing but hard computer science in the University.
3. Because for our foreign counterparts, programming is a way of life, like walking or breathing. For us, programming is a homework assignment due in three weeks, which we try to finish one or two nights before the deadline.
4. Because they love to program, and they get orgasm when they finally get that elusive code to compute the incenter given the coordinates of the three vertices, or generate all proper subgroups of a finite group, etc. We, we get our orgasm the normal way.
So, if we like to code like the Chinese wizards, we have to live like they live, think like they think, and love programming like they love.
To put this on track: Why doesn't U.A. & P use Linux for the ACM programming contest? After all, PC^2 runs on Linux!
