The documentary "Pag-asa sa Pagbasa" highlighted the challenges that teachers and students face in the Philippine education system. Poverty forces many students to work at a young age instead of focusing on school, and overcrowded classrooms make it difficult for teachers to properly educate students. This helps explain why the Philippines scored lowest in reading comprehension on international assessments. To improve the situation, the government needs to increase funding to build more classrooms and support teachers. Communities also need to help support education without discrimination. As future educators, it is the duty to help students who are willing to learn, in order to improve the country through developing reading comprehension skills in citizens.

Watching Kara David’s Documentary was a huger awakening that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Teachers were in a dilemma which to choose pass every one of the students to have a clean and decent record on their performance in teaching or fail those who don’t meet the standards and be branded as incompetent teacher. I still don’t have much knowledge in creatin a systemic criterion in teaching but I agree with what the teacher said that the System of DepEd in evaluating the schools is wrong. Teachers are the second parent of every student and it is our job to pave the road and build foundations to meet the dreams of the students. However, we can’t execute our expertise because of variables like Poverty, Lack of Fundings, and some broken elementary knowledge of the students. Teachers in the video made a decision to teach the students without pay so that they can meet the standards of their respective year levels. Their sacrifices are massive that I am assuming they spend more time in the school rather than their home. Poverty really strengthens my notion of why Philippines scored the Lowest in reading comprehension in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2018. Because of poverty students at a young age of 12 were force to make a living to help their parents. Most of them tend to only memorize the Alphabet without even knowing what are their sounds or how are they read when they are combined with another letter. They don’t have time to review in their home because they need to work for their daily food. An Empty stomach will stop the student on remembering to review their previous lesson. Government needs to give more funds in schools to build more classrooms. It is pitiful for a single teacher to teach in a crowded room that the numbers of students exceeded what their profession require. It is also distressing that a classroom still needs to be divided in half to put another section on the other side. I was building a grudge while watching this video to those Elementary Teachers that let the students graduate in elementary but is unable to read. They are supposed to build a cornerstone on each of their pupils so that they can navigate smoothly in their Secondary Level. But maybe they were also force by the system and can’t do anything. I believe that Filipinos Memorized fast and absorb more data than the other race. However, our current system may not be the best in stimulating the comprehensions of students. That’s why as a future Educator it is my duty to help the those who are willing to learn. Furthermore, the support of the parents and a community without discrimination will be appreciated very much by the Educators of the Philippines. The Excellence of the country is made out of the quantity and quality of the Citizens reading comprehension.
