Political Issues ,
Political and Social Apathy, there are two faces of apathy. The first considers apathy as a choice and participation in public life a consequence of one's affirmative use of freedom. The second face of apathy arises when citizens are led to believe that their personal needs are not part of the political agenda, resulting into political deprivation and the reaffirmation of the status quo. Philippines political and social life is marked by the second kind of apathy, which might also arise from the belief that individuals are powerless and hopeless in making significant changes in their lives. For this reason, the paper would like to awaken reflection on apathy in the personal and public spheres and to outline ways by which the individual can move towards sympathy. It is the intention of this paper to show contemporary Filipinos can find his passion again in order to move out of apathy. The paper will explain the rationale behind the development of the Philippines social and political issues.
The Philippines is faced with a number of issues that concern our organization. We are passionate about raising awareness of these issues, and developing grass-roots solutions. Poverty, unemployment and environmental legislation are the major issues facing the country, and these problems have resulted in a large number of Filipinos moving overseas for work. We believe social entrepreneurship can help address some of the issues facing the Philippines at the moment.

    We are known be the world as a nation with happy people and this is one of the advantages why many foreigners choose to go to the Philippines because aside from beautiful places, we are welcoming them with friendly faces and attitude. It is something for us to be happy about, but the question is, why do we still suffer and slowly respond to many inevitable different kinds of problems? Instead of putting our interest for being proud as happy flock, let us also not turn back our heads to those awful sides of smiling insignificantly. One of these is when we are called for our earnestness; we developed apathy towards matters. Perfect example would be the ‘Milk Tea incident’ where 2 people were found dead after drinking the milk…

    “Ang dating Sick Man of Asia ngayo’y punong-puno na ng sigla.”( The Sick Man of Asia is now full of life) That is how Pres. Benigno Simeon Aquino III described the economic status of the Philippines during his Third State of the Nation Address. He was indeed proud to report to his bosses the progress done by his administration to the Philippines- such as the decrease in unemployment rate, the increase in infrastructures, and the growth in investments among others. However, when the Filipino masses are asked if whether they are truly able to feel the effects of the claimed progress of Pres. Aquino, most of them would only answer that they are still sick with and of poverty.…

    Philippine politics is curious and intriguing, interesting and entertaining—and particularly detestable as well as disgusting. Philippine politics is not simply for the vicious but also for the avaricious, not merely for those wanting to serve but the more so, for those wanting to be served much and well. Philippine politics is the origin of wonderful promises and as well as the cause of big disappointments productive of misery and poverty. Political economy of development emphasizes the role of elites in shaping the economic and political institutions that constitute the fundamental determinants of economic development. According to Acemoglu and Robinson, they emphasized that the way which elite persistence may undermine attempts to reform institutions, leading to “captured democracies” wherein economic institutions and policies disproportionately benefit the elite. Political dynasties, exemplify a particular form of elite persistence in which a single or few family groups monopolize political power. Political dynasties are common in many contemporary democracies such as Argentina, India, Japan, Mexico and the Philippines. The Philippines is a notable example of a dynastic democracy. More than half of elected Philippine congressmen and governors have a relative who has held elected office previously. In 40% of the 79 provinces, the provincial governor and congressman are related. It is the summit of irony…

    Politics. Envisioning Philippines politically 100 years from now, I see disaster. After a century, the Philippine political situation will remain politically immature. Filipino leaders will become only desirous of political control and not because they are interested in the welfare of the mass of the people. Voters will continue to choose not based on who is competent and who is fit in leading the country, but on popular personalities, whether they’re popular actors, actresses, athletes or children of former famous politicians, who are incompetent and does not have a single knowledge of running the country and are only good at convincing people with flowery words. Unworthy politicians will continue to be elected because many Filipinos will vote in exchange for money, not for the progress and prosperity of our country. Political dynasties will continue to prevail and local elites will continue to exert considerable influence in our country. Just like it has always been, presidents in the future will get impeached and senators will be accused of plunder. Corruption in our country will definitely not be lessened. Thus the political and economic situation in the Philippines will continue to be chaotic and mismanaged. However, the country might have a chance to prosper if the government continues to implement reforms, particularly in fighting corruption; if people will stop electing based on popularity, for money, for uncertainty, for probability, for the best promise, and will stop not voting at all. Only then the political situation in the country can get better as a whole.…
