"Political Issues"

Many opponents have said that Filipino politics is overly political. Filipinos are so
passionate about politics that any political gathering, especially one held around an
election, becomes a celebration, akin to a carnival. As a surefire crowd-gathering method, movie and
television personalities are frequently invited to perform during political campaigns. According to studies,
public popularity is a major factor, if not the most important factor, in getting elected to a position. Guns,
goods, and gold have become familiar aphorisms, particularly among the wealthy and powerful politicians.
The following are some of the challenges and difficulties that face contemporary Philippine politics.
Defects in the political system, such as constitutional provisions that create a powerful presidency, making
it difficult to remove him/her from office despite unpopular and questionable political decisions; a powerful
presidency that controls politics and economic power (executive, legislative, and judicial) of government.
Lack of political will on the side of the government to implement true land reform, give more funding to
education, industrialize agriculture, reform the judiciary, combat bribery and corruption, and encourage
local entrepreneurs, among other things.
Government policy on globalization, excessive reliance on foreign capital, engaging into uneven trade and
commerce accords, and the so-called "mutual defense" treaty.
Import liberalization, free trade, tariff reductions, and the more recent acceptance of liberalizing foreign
entrepreneurs' entry not just into the production of commodities but also into the provision of services.
Human rights violations, military misconduct, and police brutality
Government and everything related to the state It encompasses actions involving state institutions and
those who serve them. You could choose to focus on voting, cross-national interactions, or political
actions.
Insurgent "Patriots" are being imprisoned, and their leader refuses to assist or even realize their financial
and personal lives have been devastated. Their families have been destroyed. A dictator may not be so
generous. Who's in charge? He'd like you to send him extra money to help him with his legal issues.
Another situation in which self-proclaimed "Patriots" lose regardless of the outcome. It is not a winning
position to be the mark, the pigeon, the sheep, or the sucker.
Our educational system must be improved. The conclusion of the story is that: If you want to be a
"Patriot," you should support your actual government rather than one you imagine you favor.
