Poverty

Poverty is a serious problem. It deprives every poor man to answer his needs, makes him unproductive and deficient in supplies of things. It is seen in the countries of the third world in a larger scale, one of which is the Philippines.

In the Philippine status quo, poverty is getting in its worse form. The quality of living of the people really changes. It could either be the poor gets poorer or the rich gets richer and it's a painful fact. There is really defective in the governmental system. Sooner or later, there will be detrimental effects that will be experienced by the people whom we can categorize as poor.

The lack of money can be the root of all evil too. It can push someone who is in tremendous need to do something immoral. One can be a thief, one can commit homicide to attain his need. Yet, we shall never pay attention to what someone has done but why someone has done it.

In the brighter side, if we take poverty into a positive thing, one can motivate himself to do better, so that in the future, he would alleviate his social status.

At the bottomline, poverty is not facile to be removed from our society. Considering the fact that our own government can't even feed its own people and that they are incapable to open new avenues for us to improve the quality of our lives. There are so much faults and loopholes done. Moreover, we cannot always rely on our numb government, perhaps, we can use our own initiatives to uplift ourselves.
