Poverty in the Philippines

Poverty, it is the state of being poor and lack of the means of providing material needs or comforts. Our country is in poverty. Why? Here are the causes:

-        poverty in the Philippines caused by laziness to work harder and more hours
-poverty in the Philippines caused by lack of quality consciousness
- poverty in the Philippines caused by lack of love for GOD and thus for all his children on earth
- poverty in the Philippines caused by abuse by rich ones
- poverty in the Philippines caused by mismanagement of government due to lack of sincere interest for the benefit of ALL
- poverty in the Philippines caused by social injustice created by mankind / industry / money world / investors / rich ones
- poverty in the Philippines caused by accidents/ disasters/ war/ political instability
- poverty in the Philippines caused by personal karma

Philippines - compared to many other countries is a VERY spoiled country - spoiled by God far more than many other countries in this world. Spoiled by having lots of natural resources readily available for minimum efforts - resources such as - agriculture potential, agriculture resources, agriculture goods - food in all variations grow in abundance with mostly easy work.

But the lack of difficulties made the Filipino people LAZY and SPOILED. European farmers had to work hard to have a reasonable harvest of fruits or crop or dairy products - hence once the harvest begins such hard working farmers honor their harvest and remember how much work was involved to get harvest starting and thus such hard working farmers in harsh climate zones keep on working hard to care for their land and keep growth ongoing.

As a result of such extreme laziness among spoiled Filipinos, we have even basic products that COULD grow in abundance HERE in the Philippines - in such abundance to produce for EXPORTS, ... but even such typical local products are still being IMPORTED from OTHER countries. such extreme products do include basic food like RICE - just very recently a shipment of rice imported from USA arrived in the Philippines - a natural rice producing land with plenty of water flooded areas during many months of tropical rainy season - a few ten thousand TONS of rice imported into a rice producing country that has by nature ALL natural condition and weather such as rain, ground water, irrigation facilities form rivers or ground water for EASY rice cultures - still most rice potential is widely UN-tapped all around the country.

It’s so sad to know all of these. I hope these will be a realization among all Filipinos who are so lazy and spoiled. If you are given what you need, there is no need to receive anything from another. What we have is enough, we just have to treasure and protect it. :'(
