As a citizen of the Philippines for almost eighteen years today, Vive always dreaming off 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 elate, food and shelter. Eel 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 neighborhood 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 neighbors 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 HARDWOOD. I will follow the laws and regulations and avoid laziness. Second, I should help myself and my Emily 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 eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and typhoons that cause a big impact In poverty If happens. Fourth, I should choose not Just a good but the best leader that will lead our country because the present and the future of our country depend on them. Fifth, I could also help an Individual. Even helping one Individual can make a small change for the better. If I e someone who needs help, I would talk to them.
Give them some money, even a few pesos can help. I will offer my help without being judgmental and try and help them find a place like a shelter or a soup kitchen. Sixth, I could volunteer to help out in our community through direct action. I could share the things that I know to the children, the elderly, the mentally ill, and the homeless. Like for example, the courses on how to grow sustainable food because a large number of people who are poor cannot afford to buy much produce, so teaching them a sustainable and cheap way o grow their own food, could help alleviate some of that vitamin deficiency.
Lastly, there are multiple charities working to fight poverty In the Philippines where I can get involved. I will donate food, clothing, toiletry Items, toys and books or I will make a pledge to give up some treat for a month (Like fancy coffee, or chocolate, or clothes shopping) and use the money that I save for them. Or I could Join In some satellites for this people and help them in their simple problems like misunderstanding of going to make a difference.
