I agree, Filipinos are very intuition driven, subjective rather than objective. Lack of data sometimes, but I also think too much dependence on data is ridiculous. Off tangent, I think we can compare this to German design, although very precise, may come off as too cold as compared to say the expressive work of Italian design.

Although I think design needs a certain amount of data to work with, a lot of times, too much information from people who do not share the same vision as the designer will just prolong and even destroy the design tasks at hand. In our country on the other hand, it works differently. It's not the influx of data that's making it difficult to work as designers; rather, it's the lack of it. Philippine culture relies too much on subjective decisions and everyone(even your mother) has a say on design considerations that they really shouldn't meddle with.
