• CORRUPTION OFFICIALDOM

The Philippines, like many other countries, is frequently afflicted by the plague of corruption. Corruption
is an ever-present factor that affects not only the lives of ordinary Filipinos but also the country's
economy as a whole, from the smallest bribes to the largest kickbacks. This problem has deep roots in
the country's political system, where leaders have been able to get away with blatant acts of corruption
for decades. Many of these agencies are also riddled with corruption, making it difficult and frustrating
to find work in the government sector. As a result, many Filipinos have sought employment in the
private sector, making the economy more vulnerable to the effects of corruption. However, the current
administration, led by President Duterte, has made combating corruption a top priority. He has chosen a
novel approach to combating corruption by focusing on those in charge of enforcing the rules and
regulations designed to keep the government honest.

• FORCED LABOR
Forced labor is one of the most widespread types of modern work. Forced labor is when someone is
coerced or forced to work against their will. Labor trafficking, which is a kind of modern-day slavery, is
the most widespread type of forced labor. Recruitment, housing, transportation, or coercion of a person
for the purpose of labor or sex slavery is referred to as labor trafficking. The Philippines is a major
manufacturer and exporter of commodities around the world. In the Philippines, however, many
laborers are compelled to work in hazardous situations. The majority are migrants from the country's
destitute rural areas, who work on mega-farms, construction sites, and in businesses including
manufacturing, food processing, and domestic service. There are plenty of them. Many are forced to
work without pay, sign contracts, and submit information. guarantors. However, because most people
work in conditions that are invisible to the rest of the world, it is a social system that is particularly
difficult to escape from. The only way to end an inhumane practice is to abolish it.

• HUMAN RIGHTS DENIED TO FILIPINO

The Spanish people have had freedom of expression, press, and association since the adoption of the
Spanish constitution, but Filipinos have been denied the right to vote, hold political office, or learn to
read and write. The Catholic Church was spread throughout the country by the Spanish, and Filipinos
were forced to attend Mass and pay taxes to maintain it. Even in the current scenario, there are times
when human rights violations, such as extrajudicial killings, are not addressed by justice. Those who do
not appear to receive justice appear to be depriving victims of their right to justice.

• RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
Rizal tackles the problem of racism in the Philippines in his novel Noli Me Tangere. Almost all of the
Spanish friars despised Filipinos, whom they referred to as Indios. Racial prejudice still exists, especially
among our Overseas Filipino Workers, who are thought to be unfortunate in the eyes of their bosses.
Some outsiders often discriminate against us not because of our inabilities, but because of the economic
status of our country.
