Poverty in the Philippines


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Reaction
              Poverty causes many lives to be broken. Money, is what most people need and want. Full or lack of money sometimes is the cause of evil or destruction. For my family to be escaped from poverty my parents need to go abroad just to feed us. We may be fortunate in material things but not in other things because as of now my family is not in good condition. 

              Poverty causes people to strive hard just to escape from poverty. Because also of poverty, some people knows how to be contented in what they have and sometimes uses it as their inspiration to be successful and achieve many things in life. My family is not in good condition and sometimes how I wish that we are only poor yet happy and contented in life but still I am thankful because I can see how much they love us and sacrifice many things just to provide all our needs and even wants. Poverty makes other people move- to have what they need and want. Poverty can only resolve if the people living in it will unite and help each other and when the government will stop thinking only about their selves but for the people they are serving.  

             Poverty causes many lives and dreams to be broken. In the Philippines, I believe that we are undergoing poverty because of corruption and laziness of some people. People should not blame everything to the government(leader) but also to the some people living (followers) in it because the people are the ones who can make the country progressive or fall down. Because of poverty, people are forced to do evil things just to make their living well. Other government officials only thinks for their own and want to have a life that is abundant, a life that is abundant with material things.  There are lots of children and adult I can see in the street begging for money and in my mind saying the government should do something about it. Money cannot make people happy and contented in life only in God we can find true contentment.
