5 - Philippines
"The Reasons Why"
Philippines is known for what? Did you ever try to ask
yourself just once on what Philippines is known for? For some, Philippines is
known for its low cost of living, corrupt government, high crime rate and for
its poor economy. But why is the Philippines mostly known for this bad things
instead of mostly good things?
Philippines should be known for its good things. The
beautiful tourist spots, nature, food, and the culture. For these good things
that Philippines acquire, why does the country has a low GDP compared to other
SouthEast Asian countries? Let me tell you some of the reasons why this is the
case. First, the widespread corruption in the government. For example, the
extremely controversial pork barrel scam led by Janet Napoles, in collaboration
with numerous politicians. Second is money. Despite of what you think, the
Philippines is a very rich country, both economically and naturally. Then why
are most Filipino families in poverty? The reason for this is the ridiculously
high rate of tax. Third, the low literacy rate of the young Filipino citizens.
This is due to the terrible condition of multiple educational facilities.
Lastly, a leader who’ll stand out. We need a respectable leader who will guide
our country to its proper path. A president like Marcos who will do everything
just to make Philippines a better country. A leader who will fight for justice.
In the end,
everything goes down to love. The love that Filipinos should give in the
Philippines. For me, one of the only way to bring Philippines back to the top
is the love of the Filipinos for their country. You could do anything for love.
Just like what Kim Jaeyoun said in his short essay about Philippines, “Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the
Philippines. Do you really think the corruption is the problem of the
Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the lack
of love for the Philippines. If you have a child, teach them how to love the
Philippines. Teach them why they have to love their neighborhood and country.
That’s all I really want to ask you Filipinos.” Can Filipinos restore the
previous Philippines? Maybe or maybe not. But if Filipinos will succeed, it
might not be the same way as before. So who will start to make a move? Other
people? No, every one of us should start making a move and save our beloved
country. We should not wait for the others to make a move. We should start it
with ourselves. Try to change for a better cause and believe me or not, things
will be better. I am Samantha Karin R. Munar and I am here fighting for what I believe. I trust each and every one of you to start
making a change with yourself. Let us fulfill what Dr. Jose Rizal said, “The
Youth is the hope of our Nation.” And watch the future change in our hands.
