Having poverty is unfair, unethical, and dangerous.

The Philippines
should abolish poverty because its people deserve to be free of it.
Poverty in the Philippines is one of the most serious problems that the
government must deal with. In relation to its nature, poverty in the
Philippines arose from the rapid population growth in the country.
The effects of it are very visible in nature. Poverty causes many
Filipinos to not pursue their education. Others seem to be contented of
their lives as poor. Many parents cannot afford to send their children to
school because, of the financial problem. The majority who are affected

This is because it is easier for them to steal than to go through getting
or finding a job. Poverty and crime have a very “intimate” relationship
that has been described by experts from all fields, from sociologists to

rank high of the crimes on the list of obstacles to a country’s

breastfeeding, offering the wrong foods, and not ensuring that the child
gets enough nutritious food, contribute to malnutrition. This is the
reason why many children died, it is because of hunger and
malnutrition. This happens especially to the poor families, like the
families living in squatter’s area. Some children ate foods that are
already thrown away from others, or worst some children get foods
from the trash cans. Although poverty is in a great level subjective to
Filipinos, it does not account that only poor urban dwellers are affected
by poverty.
