1.

The one in the picture, the man who was dazzled by the money, but in return, he would
vote for the government candidate, buying the candidate's vote from the voters. This
usually happens during elections, it is unavoidable, and someone can get through this
way. It carries a penalty of disqualification of a candidate and imprisonment of one to six
years for anyone making a vote-buying.

2.

What is in the Rice Tarrification Law? It is a law launched by the National Economic and
Development Authority (NEDA), signed by President Duterte. The purpose of this law is
to make it easier and more affordable so that the price of rice and the continuous growth
of rice production, especially in the machinery used, and increase the rice seed. This is
a good idea, especially for the poor who are also struggling because they can only fit
their budget.

3.
My explanation here is that it affects the class or the universities as well as the schools,
whether private or public, due to the COVID-19 pandemic not only here in the
Philippines but all over the world. In this time of new normal, the government has
decided to have distance learning so that the flow of education can continue.

There was a policeman who stepped on a man's face and aimed a gun something like
that happened in the United States. It is about George Floyd, who was arrested by the
police for buying a cigarette that he paid for with counterfeit money. The policeman put
his knee on Floyd's neck until he could not breathe and later died. It became an issue
because it violated human rights; they were affected by racism, oppressed, or harmed
African people. We must live with them and love them as real people.

5.
So it is stated that poverty can reduce economic growth and increase investments in the
Philippines. Why? Because there are factors that can cause poverty, such as population
growth, declining employees and quality of work due to low wages, inflation or lowering
of the peso to the dollar value of high commodity prices during the crisis, and the
presence of disasters. So the Philippines is not developing because of the corrupt
politicians who are just a waste of the people who pay taxes; it does not go to our
economy, politicians are stealing it, and it does not go to the person affected by poverty.
