“The Philippines is a country that has been battling many
challenges. First, there’s an endless battle against graft and
corruption among some politicians and government officials.
Second, there are natural calamities that constantly bombard
the country all year round. These natural calamities come in
different forms such as devastating earthquakes and strong
typhoons. Third, there is the battle in the minds of the Filipino
people on how to stay strong amidst all these trials. Some
would just give up hope for this country and choose to migrate
to another country to rebuild their lives. Others chose to remain
passive and just accept their fate in this country.”
