1. Cite at least five social issues in the Philippines.

From what I have searched these five social issues exist in the Philippines. These are poverty, corruption,
insurgency, unemployment, and crab and colonial mentality. Poverty happens when there are less
opportunity and people experience difficulties in life. Corruption occurs when an individual shows
unethical behavior and intentionally do illegal activities. Insurgency is an active revolt by someone or a
group of people which provides a burden to the government. It also becomes a hindrance to rural
development. Unemployment is a situation where individuals are unable to find or get a job. Crab and
colonial mentality is the negative mindset of people thinking that imported products are way superior
than local products.

2. Choose one of the selected social issues in the Philippines and create steps/ways on how to
solve the said issue

In the five social issues, I would like to talk about poverty. This issue exists almost in the entire world. It
was being talked about many times everywhere. We can't take from not talking about it since it's
rampant. Practically speaking, it is difficult to solve this worldwide problem considering the current
situation right now. But with determination and long-term solutions, we can actually minimize its impact
and reduce its cases.

The first thing to do is to start with ourselves. We need to work harder and smarter to help ourselves
achieve a comfortable life. We just don't rely on the government to provide everything for us. Each
individual must exert effort and don't just ask everything from God. As what famous saying says "nasa
diyos ang awa, nasa ao ang gawa".Secondly, it would help to develop and implement sustained
economic growth policies and programs. It is one way of empowering people who experienced poverty.
The support from the government is a big help to motivate people for working harder. The third is the
proper management of resources. It is important to take care of the source of our necessities.
Conservation would help us in the long run. Moreover, the government needs to encourage businesses
and provide jobs. Enough opportunity can help people to be lifted from poverty. Lastly is to remove the
barriers and develop social protection system. Removing barriers allow people to access services and
resources such as education, healthcare, adequate food, and other necessities.

By providing and applying long-term solutions, we might just wake up in the future where poverty
doesn't exist anymore. God only knows.
