“Poverty in Philippines”
Poverty is an issue delt with throughout the world, but we are really not aware on
it’s conditions. Philippines has suffered poverty, mostly happens in Luzon. Eastern
Samar is now the second poorest provice in the Philippines 55.4% poverty
incidence. Poverty is a very serious problem in the world. People understands
poverty as poor which I also do understand it. They are so many factors that
didn’t really help filipinos find incomes. One is Natural Disaster, Philippines is
considered the most disaster prone country. This includes the, typhoons,
earthquakes, volcanic eruption, floods, landslides ,and military action against
Muslim’s. This factor leads them to losing there homes and valuable things.
Second is soil erosion another major concern for the Filipinos, without farming
there will be no food provided by the breadwinners in the family leading to
starvation. Third, population growth. We are one of the most populated country
leading to poverty=no money=no food=no education and etc.
Its mostly because of having too many childrens, according to the Population
Commission(Popcom), 24 babies are born to teenage mothers every hour. Almost
200,000 Filipino teens gets pregnant. Most of them are ages 15-19. The reasons
are either rape, having a serious relationship at an early age, or just desperate
and etc. Even though Philippines has an improved economy today, majority of
the people living there is still struggling in poverty.People living in the Philippines
are not enjoying the equal. It is the state that a person has a little or no money at
all or few or no material possessions.
These people encountered struggles in life and probably cannot eat every day or
every meal, can’t afford to buy clothes as protection to their body.
They have no shelter to live. Poverty is visible on how do the people live and how
much the money they have.
Not all people do not understand the true meaning of poverty, some people are
not aware of the condition.
corruption.
If the person is unemployed or no job, he cannot buy anything that they want
because they have no money to use to meet the basic needs, therefore they will
feel so poor and can cause depressions which can also cause complicated
diseases. One of the reason why people become poor is the uneducated, these
people tends to become a construction worker or will belong to the lowest paid
individual in the society, thus their salary cannot support the needs of their
families. Other problem that can cause poverty are the disasters. Many people
lose their source of living and income. They are then left without anything.
Corruption is also another reason of poverty. How can we prevent poverty?
Philippine can prevent poverty my looking a job or by engaging themselves in
entrepreneurship. People should strive to go to school because if the people in
the Philippines are educated they can compete to other nations, there are lots of
opportunities knocking elsewhere that can contribute to income generation.
If the people in the Philippines are earning, economic would also be able to stand
better. Corrupt should be punish and people should take good care the
environment.
