Synergy is when the result is greater than the sum of the parts. Synergy is created when things work in concert together to create an outcome that is in some way of more value than the total of what the individual inputs is. (source: about.com)
But for the Philippine setting, "dissynergy" seemed to be the way to go.
Synergy is very valuable but in the case of the Philippines this can work better on the regional level.
The Philippines as a nation is ill-defined and not properly understood. Aside from the physical characteristic of this country, communication, culture and sense of nationhood is sporadic having scattered areas due to its "archipelagic" nature. But the regions or provinces have clear identities and have natural sense of community. This is the strength that the Philippines must tap. Instead of putting it in a negative light, regionalism should be funneled towards productive patriotic use.
Strong regions/provinces taken together amounts to a strong country.
