RE: There Is a Problem With The Philippines - Steemit Can Fix it.
Wow, very impressive article. I do know first hand about the plight of the Philippines and the struggles of the people there. You have made some very valid points. The Philippine people are some of the best people in the world, however they seem to also be taken advantage of their generosity and trust. It's a shame. I would also add that the government contributes to the plight of their people. The labor rules there are archaic to say the least. Too much emphasis is put on feeding the hands of the wealthy there and no rights for workers. The ordeals young people go through to work for low wages and long hours are something that needs to change.
I applaud your optimism regarding Steemit and I hope your dreams as well as many of your fellow countrymen are met through this vehicle. Also you make friends, acquaintances and business partnerships across the world that lead you to higher paths in life. Nobody deserves it more than Filipinos...I mean that sincerely.
The present government is doing something about these and more. Fighting crimes, drug and corruption made rampant by the previous administrations. A lot of these corrupt officials are still in office opposing the President Duterte. Him having 82% satisfaction from the people with the recent survey means he is being maligned with character assassination by the opposition.
If there was ever a president who was pro-poor, it is president Duterte. Who feels the plight of the Filipinos overseas. Who wants free EDUCATION in the Philippines, it is him and NO ONE else.
Child-trafficking is something the department of social welfare and development is working on.
HOPE is what we see in the president...21 million Filipinos is behind him.
This is very true @origongazer. Thank you for appreciating the article that I wrote, your words are taken to heart. I truly hope that through steemit, we can help to spread education and knowledge to our people, encourage a wisdom society which will in turn becomes one of prosperity.
I believe that steemit is one of the best possible vehicles to bring this into fruition and hope we can all make it happen together. Thank you for your kind words for all of us Filipinos, I may not speak for all, but I personally greatly appreciate all you have said.
