The Philippines, as of now, is one of the third-world countries in the world. It has not yet recovered that much from its poor economy or our country is still not that industrialized and our economy is not that stable unlike the other first-world countries. But what are really the reasons why there are many poor people in our country today or what are the causes of poverty in our country today?
I think one reason is graft and corruption. Many of our leaders are so corrupt nowadays. Having a high position in office, many government officials are abusing their powers to gain money by illegal means. Another reason of poverty in our country includes overpopulation and one way to prevent this thing is having family planning. Just imagine that you are ten members in the family and your parents have no permanent work to sustain your daily needs. Because of this, some children are forced to work at an early age and they are forced not to go to school anymore. Some would be brought to the orphanage and there are others who really have no choice but to do bad things or improper ways like to steal, snatch, etc. just to earn money. That is why there are many robbers, snatchers, etc in our country today and there are also people who never really have the chance to go to school and how can they have a good work when many companies of today’s time would prefer a college graduate? Another reason is also education. Many children were not given the chance to study or go to school. Of course, if you haven’t gone to school, you would really have no permanent work when you would grow up and this would lead to having no enough money to sustain your daily needs and this would maybe somewhat lead to poverty except the fact that you could find other ways to succeed or you would really strive hard to earn money.
Nowadays also, many people wanted to go abroad because they believe they would earn more money abroad because of the peso-dollar rate. Many students are taking up nursing, computer science, etc. because it is in-demand abroad. They prefer to work abroad because they believe they would earn more money there than here in the Philippines. Filipinos are just practical and it is also a fact that if you would work abroad, you would really earn dollars wherein converted to peso is already a big amount. But of course, it would be much better if we Filipinos would work and serve our country because just like today since many nurses, teachers, computer programmers, etc. are going abroad, only a few were left to serve and work here for our country. Yes, many professionals are going abroad to earn money. But of course OFW’s are also helping our country by means of helping and putting a better life to other people here in our country especially their families.
Let’s admit it that our country is really poor and at the latest survey that I have watch from the news, the Philippines rank first in graft and corruption in Asia and we are also rank second as the poorest country in Asia, first is Bangladesh. But despite all of this, many tourists and foreigners would still come to our country because Philippines have some treasures that no country has ever had. We have abundant natural resources, many beautiful spots and historical places, many beautiful beaches, colorful festivals and as what they say Filipino people are the world’s most hospitable people.
