-Drug war of government (Oplan Tokhang) wherein many innocent people are killed (Why is the government not doing anything about it? Are the innocents given justice by our government? Is it reasonable to kill people without proving their crime?) possible solution: The government should still be strict with the police officers even after implementing the rule "shoot-to-kill", because some police might abuse their power.

-Constitutional change to a Federal Form of government (Is it beneficial for our country? Is it necessary? Will it lead to a better governance over the Philippines?)

removing the grading system in education- as technology is advancing, new forms of teaching, guiding and other features should also be improved. One such feature is using a grading system in education to judge a student’s capability and knowledge.

corruption in the government- we should align anti-corruption measures with market, behavioral, and social forces. People especially the poor get hurt when resources are wasted. it is so important to understand the different kinds of corruption to develop smart actions.

unemployment in the philippines- unemployment in the philippines is a big deal considering the rapid economic growth.
