poverty
As a citizen of the Philippines for almost eighteen years today, I’ve always dreaming of a better nation. I always want the Philippines to be in its highest glory. But as I witness it every day, the social problems in our country became worse as the time pass by. Just like the social reality that is mentioned in the film that poverty is the main problem of our country because corruption seems more fun in the Philippines – corrupt officials enjoy higher standard of living while millions pay the price of poverty, hunger and death. And still many of our countrymen lack basic access to health, food and shelter.
I feel sad and deep pity for those people who experienced poverty. But for me, it is not just the corruption that causes the poverty in our country, but also, our lack of love for our country. We are blinded by the thinking that it is merely the corrupt politicians, in the first place were elected by most of us Filipinos, which cause our misery. We always put the blame on them without thinking that we also have to blame ourselves. We should not just work for ourselves but also for our neighbourhood and country. We should love them as much as we love God. Love is the keyword, which we should remember because if we have love for our neighbours and for our country we can help solve the poverty that our country was experiencing.
We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from us. Love must start in ourselves, in a small scale and have to grow. So, in my own little ways, the solutions that I can help to solve the problem in poverty are the following:
First, I should educate myself. I should have DISCIPLINE and HARDWORK. I will follow the laws and regulations and avoid laziness.
Second, I should help myself and my family to stop poverty or (uplift the way of living) we have. We should not always depend on the government.
Third, I should take care of our environment in order to prevent natural disasters that happens like floods, volcanic
