Personally, there are a number of issues being faced as of late regarding our state's contribution to the proper usage of equipment and tools for their authority. To this very day, poverty has been one of the top unsolved issues being faced by others. Because of this, we'd tend to question: does poverty ever have a solution at all? The answer is yes. Of course, it does, but its solutions require ample time and politicians who are set on the goal of solving poverty and wish to abolish the neglect towards the uneducated and unprivileged.

I think that some of the major problems in our state consist mainly of corruption, poverty, and pollution. I think that we can help lessen corruption by the equal use of the country's funds.

Poverty and pollution are the major problems in our country. There are almost 20 million impoverished people in the Philippines, which is around 18% of the population. Philippines is also one of the biggest plastic pollutants in the planet.

Personally, I often observe the major problem in the drainage system of my community, especially with the current weather conditions. Unfortunately, many people are greatly affected by the typhoons due to resulting floods that damage their shelters and hinders their lifestyle such as having water and gas outages, when buying food from the grocery, and many more. In my opinion, I believe that it is truly helpful if the community starts to attend and comply with the issue by proposing solutions and coming up with decisions that would truly benefit the place. More importantly, it is better if the funds are equally distributed to ensure wellness throughout the community.

With all the problems in the Philippines such as poverty, corruption, hunger and more, everyone is aware of these dilemmas but the state, one of the only entities that have complete agency to help solve this problems, doesn't provide adequate support.

The majority of Filipino citizens are lower class and impoverished. As a result, many people in the Philippines do not have access to luxuries and basic needs that those in higher social classes can access at any time. This results to lower class citizens committing crimes in order to have those needs and luxuries available to them.

In my community, the pollution worsened a lot more this year than last year. It rains almost constantly, leaving no sun in the sky. The trash situation has alleviated quite a bit, but there still needs to be some improvements. Otherwise, the Philippines both have a few similarities environmentally. It's just that I hope the Philippines is able to do manage waste more efficiently in the future.

It is both interesting and sad that there are similarities shared between America and Philippines based on the data above. There are evnironmental issues in the Philippines, hunger issues, gun violence (altough not as prevalent)

In the Philippines education is not regulated as for each school, city, or province their is different level of lessons being taught to children who are not given the same opportunity as everyone else because of the lack of regulated education in this country. People cannot have an even playing field when they are on different levels of education in the same grade which is unfair to the people and their chances of having a better future which is diminished because of their lack of education the government did take care of. -Naomi Espiritu10Ruby

I like to imagine the Philippines as the little America of Asia. It likes freedom and suffers from the same problems as America does only 10 fold worse. Political gun fighting is a thing here and oh boy is it fun when you read on the news about some local shootout or a government official hiding makeshift attack helicopters in their mansions.😁😁😁 The poverty here is also insanely out of proportion. If you use public transportation like me I'm sure you had been hassled or begged on by some hungry kids or some random dude who hopped in you jeepney and don't get me started on the random dudes holding kids on their hands. It would usually be appalling in most countries but here that's just everyday life. Finally there's the environment. If the pollution and littering here was annoying enough well combine that with 20+ typhoons every year and you got yourself a fun year of floods dirtier than the average teenage humor.

# data[].attributes.body
For me I feel like poverty is really common in my community due to most people not being able to find a job and people who don't have enough money to afford food, I hope this issue could be solved in the future.

From my observations, the problem within my community is traffic and environment. Traffic is very heavy because of the lack of proper management. For environment, there are many pieces of trash that can be spotted in different areas. On the sidewalk, road, etc. The environment is not cleaned which may lead to negative effects on people, animals, and more.

DODO-10S-LP

I am very thankful that gun violence is not as prevalent in my community, but unforunately, there are still problems like environment and hunger. Food prices continue to grow while the people's income doesn't. Many families and individual suffer from hunger in the community.  I don't think the environment is as clean and stable as it should be. Sometime there are street corners where people dump all their garbage. There are also many people who are unconcerned with littering. The roads and sidewalks can use more work because there is uneven ground that are tripping hazards.

I am not from a US State but I can still observe different things from my community  in reference to the data. Fortunately, my community does not suffer from Gun Violence, but it does suffer from environment and hunger.

In my community, there are people in poverty who are unable to consistently purchase healthy foods, and though my community is relatively clean, the rivers are polluted with different sorts of trash.

Gab Collera, 10E LP

# data[].attributes.body
The environment in my community is objectively clean. However, some areas prove polluted. There are sometimes plastic bags, cigarette butts, and colorful milk cartons lying around on the road, waiting to be picked up and thrown away. Those trash lying around the street contribute to land pollution, and even air or water pollution. I believe that we should do something about it. Whether it'd be throwing trash on the street or properly separating the biodegradable from the non biodegradable, we should at least help the environment in nurturing itself and the people around.

In my community and communities near me, there are many children who are unable to access healthy or adequate food in their everyday lives. Because of that, a lot of children tend to grow up malnourished, affecting their growth and development. It is sadly not rare to see here in the Philippines.

The issue I see in my community is the flooding and its water pollution. In some areas,  it is  flooded there. And the lack of enforcement on the maintenance of bodies of water resulted in the river being filled with rubbish and waste.

Problems in my community include pollution and traffic. I usually see different pieces of trash such as plastic bottles and used masks scattered along the roads.

I believe that the main issue in my community is the environment. Often, there are a lot of trash piles and overall uncleanliness. The traffic we have to face everyday is also unbearable. I would say hunger is also an issue, as it is pretty common seeing kids on the streets asking for spare change or food.
