Our country is in a financial crisis. The possibility of a good resiliency is limited due to the need of limiting government funds or cost cutting. This possibly creates a great threat to the financial stability of the country in attaining greater heights due to the fact that the country has a trench of debt reaching from all the countries and banks the country could borrow from.
The Philippines has a great debt from other countries including the World Bank. A problem is so great that it has reached to the point wherein a suggestion was raised stating that every rich Filipino citizen must donate at least one million peso, just to help uplift the country from its debts. How did this problem get this far? A question burns in our minds, where did it all begin?
It has been recently stated that about 280 billion pesos got wasted every year, due to corruption. That would have been three million pesos per Filipino citizen. A poor family would have lived a lifetime without ever getting hungry. Poverty and lack of Filipino professionals would have been erased from the equation, and the Philippines would have been different from what it is today. The government has created debts even reaching into the lives of the unborn children, those poor and innocent children will soon suffer the carelessness and selfishness the government created. There are really crimes which are so hard to conquer, like bribery and theft which is deeply rooted to corruption. The crime that kills the hopes of people to live a life of comfort and stability, where people would enjoy their standard of living meeting up with the current market trends. A life which every people desires, which every people look forward for. Its all because of power and selfishness that created corruption, politicians which are not contented with what they have, more than serving the people. The very same reason why they are in office to help them; not to steal from them.
Corruption is the root of all national crises. It is the main source of all national breaking news. How do selfish leaders get their offices in Malacañang or in any hall? Do they really deserve their government posts? We should not wait for tomorrow to stop corruption. The call is now of only we understand that every second counts, adding up to the country's past year's demise.
Our country is not supposed to be poor. It has all the natural resources to economically stand up on its own. Resources that greatly helps the economy by using them to facilitate demand with what the people needs, with what the people desires. This is the quest for the truth, a quest every Filipino prays for, to have a prosperous country. One that would proudly face itself to the world as a renowned country which is honest, true and balance. All it needs is an honest, truthful lawmaker. Still, a question of uncertainty flies freely in the air, "what would the Philippines be like in the future?"
