I. CORRUPTION

The reason why corruption occurs in the Philippines is that many officials want to get rich in a very simple way. They get the money allotted for the improvement of the country. When this occurs, the Philippine treasury will lose the money that can be used for the improvement of the country, and then, the Philippines will borrow money from other countries to meet the needs. As the country continues to borrow money, it will still lack the needs that result to poverty, unfinished projects, and economic loss.

The cause of corruption is generally too little money. When a government or organization is low on cash, dishonest individuals looking for extra money sometimes choose to gain it illegally. This usually results in a further breakdown of the system, as no one can be trusted to act responsibly with the remaining money.

Governments are too selfish Two people & a sum of money. That’s all you need. Sadly it is human nature to be dishonest & if

people can do a dodgy deal some think that is the best way to get on in this world. Few indeed are beyond reproach in financial dealing at one time or other and the temptation to ‘cook the books’ is very, very high.

Effects:

Poverty No equal distribution of economic Resources

Solutions:

Punish the vote sellers Annual assessment of all public officials by the BIR More effective and efficient tax system

II. Increasing number of Unemployment rate

•Recession With the increase rates of unemployment other economy factors are significantly affected, such as: the income per person, health costs, quality of health-care, standard of leaving and poverty.All these affect not just the economy but the entire systems and the society in general. Here are some aspects of the impact of unemployment on our society:•Non Educational attainment•Not suitable for the job they are applyingEFFECTS:

1. Tension at home: Quarrels and arguments at home front which may lead to tension and increased numbers of divorces etc.2. Lose of skills’ usage: The unemployed is not able to put his/her skills to use. And in a situation where it goes on for too long the person may have to lose some of his/her skills.3. Mental health: Mental health problems like: Law self-confidence, feeling unworthy, depression and hopelessness. With the lost income and the frustration involved in it, the recently unemployed may develop negative attitudes toward common things in life and may feel that all sense of purpose is lost. Frequent emotions could be – low self-esteem, inadequateness and feeling dejected and hopeless.SOLLUTIONS:

1. Going out of the country (OFW)2. Lower their tax burden. 3. Stop mandating foolish regulations 4. Stop providing grants and gifts to large corporations to unfairly compete against small businesses 5. Increase work output by eliminating union mentalities in the work place.

III. Out of School Youth POVERTY, even the education is free, many Filipinos cannot afford still to go to school because

of the lack of essential needs like bag, notebooks, paper, writing materials etch.. We cannot really deny the fact that the Philippines is a third world country where poverty is rampant and the hardships of life is in one package deal already. To very poor people they cannot even afford to eat three times a day that's why it is more important for them is food rather than investing for the education for their children.

UNSUPPORTABLE PARENTS , what are the qualifications of unsupportable parents; one is they are the anti-motivator they don't motivate their children to go to school instead they are manipulating their children not to go to school.

CHILD LABOR , child Labor refers to the illegal employment of children below 18 years old in hazardous occupations. Under-age children are being forced to manual Labor to help their families mainly due to poverty. About 2.06 million children all around the Philippines are compelled to do Labor, such as in crop plantations, mining caves, rock quarries and factories.

BAD PEER PRESSURE, some common reasons why children, and teens drop out are there bad peers. What are these bad pressure they are influencing to them?. Here are some examples ;(by: ashetreemeadow)

premarital sex [or even sex between minors]under-age drinking liquor drugs of any kind (marijuana, cocaine, shabu etc.)self-mutilation even hygiene practices that are potentially unhealthy or harmful, like eating habits that lead to disorders vandalism theft bullying pornography

EFFECTS:

IV. DEFORESTATION Soil erosion destruction.

Soils (and the nutrients in them) are exposed to the sun’s heat. Soil moisture is dried up, nutrients evaporate and bacteria that help break down organic matter are affected. Eventually, rain washes down the soil surfaces and erosion takes place. Soils never get their full potential back.

Water Cycle When forests are destroyed, the atmosphere, water bodies and the water table are all affected. Trees absorb and retain water in their roots. A large part of the water that circulates in the ecosystem of rainforests remains inside the plants. Some of this moisture is transpired into the atmosphere. When this process is broken, the atmosphere and water bodies begin to dry out. The watershed potential is

compromised and less water will run through the rivers. Smaller lakes and streams that take water from these larger water bodies dry up’.

Loss of Biodiversity Many wonderful species of plants and animals have been lost, and many others remain endangered. More than 80% of the world's species remain in the Tropical Rainforest. It is estimated that about 50 to 100 species of animals are being lost each day as a result of destruction of their habitats, and that is a tragedy.

CAUSE:

To make more land available for housing and urbanization To harvest timber to create commercial items such as paper, furniture and homes To create ingredients that are highly prized consumer items, such as the oil from palm

trees To create room for cattle ranching

SOLUTION;

The best solution to deforestation is to curb the felling of trees, by employing a series of rules and laws to govern it. Deforestation in the current scenario may have reduced however it would be too early to assume. The money-churner that forest resources can be, is tempting enough for deforestation to continue.

Clear cutting of forests must be banned. This will curb total depletion of the forest cover. It is a practical solution and is very feasible.

Land skinned of its tree cover for urban settlements should be urged to plant trees in the vicinity and replace the cut trees. Also the cutting must be replaced by planting young trees to replace the older ones that were cut. Trees are being planted under several initiatives every year, but they still don’t match the numbers of the ones we’ve already lost.
