Reflection Paper - Buwis Buhay, Teaching in outlying areas
The national issues presented in the film are poverty and the poor public transport system. I feel ashamed that my government almost did nothing to improve the way of life the teachers live in secluded places in the country. The teachers sacrificing and dedicating their lives to us just like the ones shown in the docufilm Buwis Buhay, Teaching in outlying areas, are heroes. I felt that their love of the country and its people is pure and powerful. Their cause motivated me from the bottom of my heart to the point that I realized that I also need to do something for my people and my country right now. Their perseverance, dedication and patriotism should be a prime example that we, the youth should follow and practice. As a member of the youth, for now, I can contribute and be like them by encouraging and educating my fellow youth to value our education. There are few things that I can suggest to solve the issues present in the film, First is, the Government should build safe roads and bridges to these provinces so the people there will not suffer. Second, The DepED should provide the teachers benefits and bigger salaries so atleast there will be more teachers available throughout the country.
