The people in the Philippines are suffering from one of the toughest and longest lockdowns in the world. As the government struggles to deal with the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, the ultra-strict quarantine and social distancing measures which have now stretched to more than half a year, have left the economy on its knees. The move has also left millions of people jobless and hungry. The dire situation has now pushed millions of people to the brink of starvation. Why did the pandemic hit the poorest of poor so hard? With the Philippine economy slipping into its worst recession in decades, can the poor pull themselves out from the crushing poverty? Will their cries for help be heard?

There is no better qualified president in the Philippines to handle this situation other than Pres. Duterte. The transparency and the care the government provides to the people is excellent. All this problem theyre going through is a result of decades of corrupt politicians and not qualified President that handled Philippines so dont blame Pres. Duterte and his administration for all of it. Dig in and deepen your research and educate yourself before spreading news

True. We live in a democratic country so the mass actually has the power to vote for the right people and change our situation. But abusive politicians kept on dumbing down the mass. Education isn't a priority here because they want to keep on dumbing down the mass so they will remain at the higher position.

I became a Housemaid at the age of 13, so I can go to high school at night. My parents had 9 children. I’ve experienced nothing but poverty in my childhood. It was harder for us, the older children. I wondered, even at 4 years old, why children are considered as “blessings”, when we were all SUFFERING. There was no Pandemic in those days, but POVERTY was crippling us.

It's really hard because most Filipinos are over religious and use it as an excuse to have more children despite the poverty of their life. They always obey and blame God at the same time of their actions. They should use logical thinking over some religious beliefs if they want to improve their life especially the problem of overpopulation.

Even without the pandemic.. many of Filipinos have been starving, and unemployed. They also said here that "Hindi kami natakot mamatay sa COVID, takot kami na mamatay sa gutom" "Walang nakakagmot sa gutom, patay ka." and I think that's the most painful statements i heard in this video. Many filipinos experienced hunger amid the lockdown. In fact, the hunger incidence rate is at its highest in 6 years according to the social weather station. I can say that Filipinos don't easily give up in the situation and they are still helping through good and bad times.

The gov't estimate that more than 3 million Filipinos will be added to the population. Pre-pandemic, the Philippines was on the way to reducing birth-rate. But that changed overnight with this corona. Both males and females have plenty of time in their hands and all they can think of is having unprotected sex! The sex drive is so strong added with their dietary spices and hot SILI, both are aroused from eating too much spices! Look at the countries with huge problems with population: India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mexico and the Philippines. Much can be attributed to eating spicy foods.

I remember when I was in Grade 7, my Teacher told us that his friend went abroad (I can’t remember what country it was) and then his friend went to a store with a lot of dolls , each doll wore a national costume representing every country in the world, they were all beautiful and exciting to see, my teacher's friend was excited about what the Filipino would look like but he couldn't find it, and then he asked the seller about it, but when the seller showed the doll to the one who represents our country---the Philippines, she was wearing a maid dress, and it really broke her heart. See how other people in other country sees us. So we must work hard for the good of our Country.😞❤️ Anyway, I was Grade 7 that time right, and now I'm already in Grade 12 and still can't forget that story. It also became my inspiration to study harder, I know I am just one of millions of Filipinos, but if we are united, we can make our country better.

People are having too many children in the Philippines when they can barely afford to feed themselves. Catholic doctrine is partly at fault, but parents need to take personal responsibility as well. 12 babies in a row is not going to help at all. Gov't should make family more accessible to everyone.

@@slantize Makes no sense because having children at an early age hinders focus on career and education. And having more children decreases chances of education and career focusing exponentially. So, if it takes money to invest in the security of just 1 child (education and career) how can ROI increase when you have more children and spending that money for future just goes to keeping the family from going hungry? If the "odds" you talk about is for the children to be prostitutes, sex workers, or meet a foreigner, sure. I guess that's an investment just by popping out more babies... a very very twisted, way of "investment" you speak off.

The COVID-19 pandemic has tremendously changed various people's day-to-day lifestyle in general. The Philippines, a country with a population of over a hundred million people, is the setting for this paper. At first sight, it appears to have beautiful infrastructure and tourist destinations. However, if you look closer, you'll notice that many of the people you see are poor and some may be even begging in front of businesses, under bridges, or on the streets, and this social issue has already happened before the pandemic, how much more during the lockdown. The lockdown in 2020 caused a drastic change in the economy. Multiple businesses and workplaces went into bankruptcy which caused the people to be unemployed. Even people who belong in the high and middle class were struggling in coping up with this problem, how much more with the people who belong in the poverty line. Elena and Leia’s story was really heartbreaking because it clearly shows how they have to battle multiple dilemmas in order to survive. The video tells the audience how people in the poverty line have to break quarantine guidelines and protocols in order to remain alive. Moreover it also tells how risky it is for the people who live in slums since it is very packed and the living conditions are faulty. Elena and Leia eventually have to collect leftover goods in order to feed something for their family. There was even a time that their family had to eat rice and salt since their mother cannot already provide anything. The video that was assigned for us to watch was really heartbreaking and difficult to watch. It opened my eyes and I was grateful that this activity made me realize things and shouldn’t be blinded by any certain issues in the society that didn’t merely affect me. As someone who is privileged enough, I should not even complain a slightest bit for not having a meal that I am not craving for, nor even complain about gaining six kilos during the lockdown. The government officials, people in the higher and middle class should realize the harmful things that are happening in the society, and shouldn’t be blinded by their comfort.

About the covid 19 in the Philippines. The number 1 reason is because of overpopulation and followed up by poverty and next is the government and the people and then others. I'm not solely blaming this administration but also the previous administrations. Metro Manila is too densely populated or overpopulated. I mean Metro Manila alone has 145k+ cases and almost 2.3k deaths and also the other cases from other regions came from Metro Manila. Just imagine if there is no Metro Manila maybe the cases today is around 80k or even lower. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that Metro Manila should not be part of Philippines, I'm not discriminating on them. What I'm saying the rants, the complains and the critics (not generalizing all) of the government are clearly biased and others are just going with the flow. It is creating a diversity among us like DDS, dilawans, anti and pro duterte/government/Marcos/Liberal Party/Rev Gov and others and I don't want this diversity to go on. I mean we are a developing country although Malaysia and Vietnam are developed compared to us in terms of infrastructures/equipments. Philippines is not Vietnam and Vietnam is not Philippines. It's not like the government and other government organizations like DOH are perfect. It's unfair to solely blame this administration. I'm not saying the government is not incompetent, we can clearly see that the sense of direction is confusing. Yes they were very confident on the early stages but that doesn't mean they can't change, if you compare their response from the January to the present, they changed. The people who I blame are those who didn't try their best to fix poverty, overpopulation, people who are not following the rules, incompetency of the people and government, upgrading our infrastructures/equipments, the uneducated and others especially the slacktivist. Church is also to blame, they are in the way in preventing birth control. Also not all has national ID system so it's very hard to hand help. I think, the government did a fine job based that we are more undeveloped country compared to our neighbors, lots of incompetent leaders and officials, overpopulation, poverty. I believe that even if we have close our borders to Wuhan early or close our borders to China, we will still have an outbreak, the safest is close our borders to every country which is not a strategic move. Also believe no matter what adminstration there will still be an outbreak at the end. At the end of this there will be people who can't accept this, it's up to yourselves if you guys will change or not.

@Azi ra Your right we can never institute that we are in control of our lives in daily occasion due to factors that are inherited, the circumstances that are built and the environment that we live... I think the government should radically change its systems first and promote job opportunities that can stimulate the economy... But people also need to not rely on the government for food and other necessities and be comfortable that food is always available. I hate to admit it but charities is a liability since people will just eat free food rather than local foods that has pricetags thus businesses in those communities will not prosper or grow over time. To stimulate economic growth, people should create bank accounts so that they can borrow money for wise investments like a business or mortgages and not products that are useless and a liability like fancy clothes and stuff like that. But poor people has adapted to live below their means so i am confident that they will value money more so than the average person. All in all, the government should change how they can help people by lending them money in a formal matter and not giving relief goods left and right(except for disasters) and people should get jobs like manual labor or other services and make a medium sized business rather than small scale(like tindahans).

In the country side of the Philippines people are really abundant in terms of food, vegetables and fruits since Philippines are rich in Agriculture. Give more fund on Agrifarm this is what we need.

Let me share with u one sad fact.... It's nothing to do with neither Mother land nor agrifarm.... In this world, food is more than enough.... Just imagine, a poor country (low technology based), those rich mans or corrupted government, they have their wants (electric or electronic devices, luxury goods, luxury foods, luxury car or other high tech porducts), how are their going to have these? They have only land, and poor pity farmer. Hence, those land owner (government officer and their relative, those rich men who bride the government, those rulers of the country), they order the farmer to work for them, either they farm the grain or they farm some cash Corps (this is the reason why there is not enough food to feed the whole world), then they sell it to those high tech countries with low price (there are so many low tech based countries can sell the food but there are only few high tech countries can produce high tech products, hence high tech country have the bargain power) in order to exchange those high tech products This is the reason why the people on the earth is still starving...the land, and the farmer, should be able to produce enough food to everyone...

I have nothing against these family,I lost my father when I was 10 and we are 7 siblings, since my father died and no one else can provide for us each of us had to seperate and lives on our own to survive, I myself is an example who grew up living in the street for many years rain or shine with a carton/box of cigarette as my bed and have nothing to eat was not easy Thats why I told and promise myself I would never have tons of kids cause I'm afraid I cannot provide for them, that I cannot give them a good life I never have when I was a kid. Being a parent they should think first if they can provide before they decided to have lots of kids coz at the end its the children who will suffer if those parents are not being selfish there will be no children in this kind of situation. In the Philippines theres center who give free contraceptive pills. Let's break the mentally "our children is our wealth" " anak ang mag aahon satin sa hirap" if you think you can provide go have as many children as you want but please don't let your children suffer...

In the 2000s, the number of kids is a good gauge i think. It may just be correlation and not the cause but I see people with 2-4 kids seem to be doing better than those with 5+ kids. I mean look at celebrities, businessmen, or even those people around you. Do your relatives with fewer kids fare better than those with say 7 to 13 kids? Most of the people I know personally stop at 2 or 3. And when we talked the reason is 2-3 is what they PLANNED for financially.

Our neighbor takes home a mere 500 pesos a day as he is a minimum wage earner. But his kids are in school and they do get by.

Even before the breakout of COVID-19, starvation, poverty and corruption were existing already for years in our country. The pandemic just increased the number of people suffering from the mentioned problems above. This should be an eye-opener for all of us Filipinos to start a change already. We have suffered long enough! For us to have the best leaders, we should be the best citizens first. Yes, it is our government's responsibility to provide relief to us, but we must also help ourselves by being educated, being knowledgeable about family planning and particularly by voting responsibly and wisely during local and national elections. We need to ensure that the people we would give our votes truly deserve such positions in our society. And also, we must stop voting for people who give money or stuff to buy our votes because in the long run, we, the citizens will also be the ones that will suffer due to their bad leadership. What we need are leaders who are committed to serving and helping their people and not leaders who are full of themselves.

You can do all that but our government system doesn't actually force politicians to do good. In fact, it actually rewards mediocrity and corrupt practices. Good politicians may survive a system like that, but they will likely end up achieving less than what they intend to do/can do because the corrupt status quo will try to undermine their efforts every step of the way. The system itself needs a major overhaul. We have already put countless of politicians in office but nothing changes. It's already madness that we're doing the same thing over and over again, and still expect things to be different.

@Megi Dora Hey, don't beat yourself up on this. Just focus on what your goal is in life. Do you really want to have a family? If so, then maybe adjust the conditions a bit. Make it 4M$ and maybe life more frugally. Something you feel you have a higher chance of achieving. Some personal enjoyment is sacrificed but in the end...its what you want right? A family. Or, if the 10M$ & no debts IS your goal? Then enjoy the journey. You may or may not reach it. BUT as long as you do everything within your power to go towards your goal. Then you're doing fine. Don't stress out things you can't control. For me, I see it as some people like to make babies. They may not want to take care of their kids. They may drink and complain about everything. But their GOAL in life is to make babies. They don't want to plan for the kid's education, the kid's nutrition. or even if the kid/s would be successful when they grow up. Their goal is to make babies and psychologically reinforce to their children that it is the KID'S RESPONSIBILITY to be the parent's retirement plan. Then there are people like you, who understands kid's cost money. And it is an important life changing decisions when, or even if, to have kids. A life changing decision for yourself and the possible child/children. Remember, this is your life. You decide what the goals to achieve are. Being a parent is NOT a per-requisite or requirement to be happy. Heck you can adopt one if you don't want to share your kid with a partner if playing parent is what you want. Just live a happy life. As long as you don't harm or bring harm to others, do whatever makes you happy.

@AOEDaily Hmm, yes and also no :) Having a birth rate > death rate is good for economy and social security. Yes, this is true. Japan is having problem of too few births and their death rate is greater than the birth rate...so one of these days, if Japan doesn't fix this, they're in trouble with all the people in pension and not enough workforce to tax to support it. Now, if the "lots of kids" are all working and are contributing to society and paying taxes...then YES. Again, this is good for the country. However, these lots of kids are under fed, lots are uneducated, and most are not taken care of and thought by their parents to be a proper and decent human being. So since the parents make more kids than they can feed and care for...most live in poverty, most contribute to the trash and pollution, most do not live in a house with proper sewage/septic systems, since most are not educated enough to get high skill jobs...a few will resort to crime and/or illegal activity (not saying rich don't commit crimes, they do, but pickpockets, snatchers, muggers are mostly personal "in your face" crimes you are more likely to see on you everyday life), most will drag down a country's business and investment opportunities as businesses want to see a prosperous country not one where there are beggars who swarm their car on every stoplight. So, yes. In the perfect scenario, more kids are good for the economy. But not if this scenario.

If I CHOOSE to play with a knife and throw it around and toss it in the air and try to catch it in my mouth...it is my choice. I decided to do it so if should accept my consequences. It wouldn't make sense for me to sue the knife company for me being injured. Same with child birth. An adult has the choice to make babies. Their family can be as big as they want it to be.

@AOEDaily Ah, I think I have found where we disagree on. We both agree government should help its citizens. What we do not agree on is the personal responsibility side. I believe the government can help its people by trying to improve the current health care we are getting as well as giving/increasing retirement benefits. NOT waste it on "intentionally" neglected children. I use the word intentionally so you won't misinterpret it as kids who lost their parents by accident or such with no other guardians. Intentionally as in the parent knows they could not afford to provide basic needs of the child (food, housing, education, etc) yet intentionally chose to make a child so the child can serve as their investment and money machine. An adult should be responsible for his and her actions, if he/she wants to give back to their parents...it is their choice. CHOICE. A baby did not CHOOSE to be born, the parents made that decision. The parents SHOULD be responsible to provide for the baby...not the government. As an adult myself, I believe I should plan for what I do. If I want to retire and stop working I must save some money. If I want more kids, I must plan and budget for the added food we need to feed him/her, a place to sleep, and an education. Because I CHOOSE to make a child, I have to be responsible for it. No one points a gun to a persons head and says...make babies! And family planning is not anti-growth, it DOES NOT stop you from having kids when you want to have kids. Let me repeat that because some other commenters (not you, just to be clear) are not really....emm...not the sharpest tools in the shed so to speak. So they lack common sense. Even I as a barely passing retard myself understand family planning is a way a woman can CHOOSE, again CHOOSE, to have a baby or not. Look if you are a Revillia or Dolphy or Freddie Aguilar...as long as you can provide for your kids, have as many kids as you want. It is against HUMAN RIGHTS to starve and hinder another human being from being able to educate themselves so they can have a future themselves and be self sufficient. This is what people who intentionally bring children into this world KNOWING that they cannot feed them and provide them with proper education.

@Nicole Laygan common sense lang naman dapat ipairal. Kung madaming anak masmahirap sustenahan. Maspinapairal kasi nila ang tawag ng laman.

@Nicole Laygan YES, literally that is the point of having public schools. 1987 constitution mandates it and with Republic Act 6655, they extended FREE public schooling up to HIGH SCHOOL. It is the PARENTS who intentionally don't let their kids go to school so they can work and beg and steal. The same irresponsible parents who like to have more kids than they can feed in the hopes one or more of those kids gets their hands on some money and/or work and then the parents have their "retirement plan".

"Why did the pandemic hit poorest of the poor so hard?" Well almost all of the poorest of the poor here earn daily. Selling candies and cigarettes on the streets, selling food on carts, selling services like house cleaning and car washing. The moment the lock down was implemented all of those stopped. And the fact that the poorest of the poor averages around 5 children per family? And the middle class averages around 2?
