Corrupt Politicians, not a Large Population, cause Poverty,

[huCaresxxx]

Hi to all, maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nag comment, Either good or bad comment i really appreciate it po for taking the time watching this, it just show that lots of people still concern for what is happening around us. But unfortunately, since i moved out of the philippines, i dont have any idea now what is happening there, i just heard that former president GMA will be going to jail? I'm proud of the justice in the philippines if thats true. 

[prototype615h]

hindi ako sang ayon sa title, dapat, corrupt politicians AND large population cause poverty

[gi2bull]

some people think that the best way to answer the poverty problem in the Philippines is to control childbirth among the poor. as if the poor would later have better jobs after using condoms distributed using people's money.

[prototype615h]

@gi2bull I know what you are trying to say, but seriously, there is no one-step solution for a complicated problem such as poverty. In order to solve poverty, numerous solutions should be done, including control of birth rate. If you control the birth rate, you control the dependency ratio, and such alleviates poverty.

[bamboonetzoid]

if you wanna be rich... be a politician in the philippines... it's where all the money is... coming from the people of the philippines who work so hard even if the salary grade is cheap... not only that OFW's pays more higher taxes than those within the country... yet the ppl in that country never enjoyed such benefits that they deserve...health care system is poor so if you are are poor and no money with you.. you die..

[ShaolinSurfer777]

The philippines can be a great country financialy. Its people is great, its culture is awesome, the people are willing to work hard for their nation and their families yet these corrupt greedy politicians are not willing to distribute the wealth. They're only after themselves and thats the bottom line.

[djsuekrue20]

president auqino what have you done in this 4 months?

remove wang wang and what more>?

so yo thoughyt when you remove the wang wang poor people get something to eat the will get jobs?quit beeing a president go to a comedy bar for guys cause youre gay but not a president you dont know what to do? remove all old corrupted people but you cant cause you are scared they might kill you ...the difference between you and your father is he was ready to die for the people but you are scared!

[rogerrosales1]

the roman catholic church in the philippines is for population explosion. she tolerates poverty and sees untidy children from slum areas as "blessings from God." she is against the plan of creating another "las vegas" in the country, thus, depriving filipinos of employment opportunities. it is a shame for us, filipinos because we brag of ourselves as "the only christian nation in asia" and yet were branded as one of the most corrupt nations in the world!

[ivanmullan6000]

I lived in cebu and you are so totally right, the corruption defies belief! The politicians dont care who suffers, as long as they get elected and keep power..

[supahcool]

0:15 my dream house..lol

[xake19]

It's a good thing that Thailand is a Buddhist country without your Catholic BS that it's able to control it's population and bring about harmony to its economy. It is now one of the fastest growing economy in South East Asia. A feat the Philippines can't compete with with population BURGEONING MASSIVELY OUT OF CONTROL that it saps the country of its resources

[xake19]

What mathematical equation have you been using? Or better yet, which FAT Cardinal brainwashed you? Overpopulation is NUMBER ONE cause of poverty OVERWHELMING to any other problems. It creates increase needs for expenditures, wealth dissipation, and environmental destruction in large scale. Millions of husband/wife with 8 or more children, creates dilemma for this 3rd world nation barely able to pay for basic infrastructures. Developed nations have population control & the Church less powerful

[joesel19]

i have read an article in saying that philippines is a cursed nation because of being brainwashed by our foreign inveaders and embracing a western religion and that pagan=our true religion is the true way!?

[Mugetsu456]

Terrible grammar and even worse music makes these videos lose their impact in my opinion. The last thing that I want to listen to while watching people suffer is some guy talking about smacking bitches and making money.

[supahcool]

anu tong pilipinas...

sayang lng ung tinaposan sa koleheyo..

nursing nagiging janitor etc..

kya tuloy nag kalat ang pilipino sa buong mundo at nag titiis na malayo sa pamilya..

[jockeyhanes]

just asking, bakit po ba lahat ng bansa na naging under o colony ng espanya at katoliko and pinaka malaking relihiyon ay third world? salamat po!

[Flipsify]

Lahat ng mamamayan dapat magtutulongan at makaroon ng kooperasyon malutas ang mga problema subalit dahil sa mga madaming walang napagaralan at lumaki sa kanto at pagbabarkada imbes na tutulong lalong pinapalaki ang problema, nagpipintasan, gumagawa ng mga dahilan magkaroon ng away. Nagsisimula sa pamahalaan, mga nasa politiko na walang pagmamalasakit sa mga kapwa Pilipino kaya pati ang mga Muslim gustong humiwalay para magkaroon ng sariling bansa.

[HansCent]

The Philippine government is probably the most corrupt government in the world.

I don't think there is one solution to solve all this.

But the large Philippine population too is a key reason why the Philippines is as poor today.

[henrybautista2153]

correct po kayo dyan not to mention pagiging native & gallible & ugaling walang pakialam or ignorance ng nakakaraming pinoy its the pinoy negative-values deep rooted lac of self discipline in may very simple ways yes our government is most corrupted but who made them corrupted siguro kung walang magbibigay ay wala rin naman tatanggap...pakikisama/bahala na/kumpare/utang na loob attitude etc

[nlRobertnl]

afghanistan is the most corrupt world wide

stop over population let them use pils condoms i don't know if the philippines are christian people cause then it would be harder to do this cause the pope is against it

[Opticalgaze]

put me in charge ill fix it. Ill make government corruption punishable by death. problem solved. country fixed ( might take 10 years to see the effects) I love holidaying there hate seeing poverty and corrupt police. It can be much much better there

[sOsDidit]

your video took the words right out of my mind, all the time i was there , kept saying i dont get it, i see the large citys theirs a tax base and they let their people suffer, politicans, greedy goverments, make them bring decent paying jobs! i was most impressed seeing resillience in pilipino ppl, you smiles amidst your struggle, really heart felt, god love ya, Elect Statesmen/women only and make them work for ya, Peace and Love

[huCaresxxx]

Philippine Politicians-They have taken the rights of the poor people to live and survive.

[emmthreejonny]

You don't see these on WOW Philippines brochures. Out elite government officials know this but as elites they have a different set of morals - none. They need the poor so they can use them. Which is why they exist and they will continue to do so.

[amazingCP]

MR CUERDODELVINVALO

You are anti communist - ok but anti american, well , then you are just one of the type who have make your country downfall to such state. american free you from the japanese,give you huge amount of money,provide so many assistance, well then you ungrateful guy, just hope no country will help you out in your next disaster.you need to reciprocate kindness in order for people to love you stupid.anyway for your info, I am not a american , just irritate by your ungratefulness

[kapretikba442]

@amazingCP You have no idea about the Philippine-American relation, do you? History is replete with one sided relation between US and GRP in favor of the American. American did not free the Philipines from japanese. Americans only came back when the Japanese were defeated in the countryside by Filipino Guerillas

[JayT98]

The philippines is a hell hole. Nice country. But your politicians are as corrupt as they come. All the world's criminals and filth ends up in the philippines. Its become the toilet bowl of the world. Filthy place.

[Ritchie37]

hell no its not a toilet bowl. i dout u have gone there befor.. i am one i was there. don't diss the country cuz it would be like dissing your own country, i now the government dose suck there cuz are stupid. i always hated the governement there cuz they do nothing to help everyone in the philippines

[0800Freecall]

pag corrupt ang mahalal nah pangulo nxt year,dapat patayin agad para hindi makapagnakaw.

[ChiLdOfDaSuN206]

[HeartBreak1x]

Yeah but China is giving up Communism so Why bother? It would make more sense if it was a situation like China 60 years ago when we could have united then came out of it like them.

[javisperas]

there's no hope kung democracy paiiralin ntin... ..

ilang beses n bng umasa tau na uunlad ang pilipinas??? marami na at ala p ring pgbabago dhl sa kurakot at kwalan ng pangil ng batas...

[HeartBreak1x]

Puta, next year nga di ako boboto. Lahat ng Kandidato corrupt at nakakatakot. Puwede rin maging socialist siguro tayo hanggang maangat. Kaso lang puppet government tayo ng US so di ito mangyayari unless mayroon silang better say sa pangungulo natin.

[javisperas]

gnyan tlga...pero sa tingin ko kung hanggang ngaun eh pinamumunuan tau ng US...bka kasing yaman din tau nila at kasing disiplinado sa kpaligiran...

[HeartBreak1x]

Di siguro tingnan mo yung GUam. US 51st state pero Binabasura ng US. Puro Sundalo lang padala doon. Parang Satin din. Tapos sundalo mila pagmayginawang kasalanan parang wala lang.

[javisperas]

hindi nmn US state ang Guam eh..prang independent state pero under US rule... pero tama ka puro sundalo lng at wlang pakialam ang government kng may gnwang kasalanan ang sundalo o hindi...

[anjojune]

both coz religion is also corrupt... they say hindi puede hindi puede while govt say puede puede

[TheRandomX1]

I want to nominate my 6 year old son for president in 2010 election!

kaya lang, baka di umupo yon pag nanalo!

ayaw kasi ng anak ko ang Mabahong Lugar e nuknukan na ng baho ang malakanyan e' halos lahat na yata ng baho sa pilipinas ay nasa loob na ng palasyo (daw) na yan!

kayo, wala ba kayong balak mag nominate ng sarili nyo?

[TheRandomX1]

ang pag lipol ng kuropsyon sa bansa ay mas madaling gawin kesa sinasabi' ang dapat lang ay patunayan natin sa sarili ay ang kasabihang matatapang ang pilipino! meron pa kaya talagang matatapang sa pilipino? meron pa kayang lalake na me bayag sa pinas?

mga pare ko! wag itaya ang kinabukasan ng pamilya mo sa iyong pag boto sa darating na eleksiyon' wag mong ibenta ang inyong bukas dahil lang sa kawalan ng pang ulam' patunayan mo na ikaw ang tunay na mamamayan ng iyong bansa at hindi ang intsik!

[zemezman]

Have you ever thought of trying to change on what you FOCUS? Focus on Research and Development and it will result to products that you can export that our Government can earn Big money from it.

Does changing things through politics help us export products? Earn more Dollars?

Changing things through politics changes politics.

Exporting products makes us RICH and SOLVE poverty.

[Poorestgump]

My wife has never been corrupt.

[55oiram]

Who's not corrupt in a Philipine society? You are all corrupted people from your grand grand father to your grand grand child. Why? Why? Why don't you look at your country,,,more big churches than hospitals and schools. From baranggay tanod to the president are all corrupt. You can't be a member of the Philippine govenment if you are an honest person,,you will die young before you become a mayor.

[MegaNewlook]

right!!! i agree . coz Governement Philippines hidding theirs corrupt and i know as one the most amazing stories that anybody know in the whole world of Grand Master Angel Blancia iloilo city Panay island Philippines.

They stolen knowledge of Angel Blancia coz business, popularity, money and they become rich........im sure many many happen that to filipino have skills.

[k0Idexx21]

BAKLA ANG DAPAT NA MAMUNO SA ATING BAYAN. Ang mga BAKLA kasing tulad ko ang pag-asa ng Pilipinas. MABUHAY ANG MGA BAKLA!!! Ang payo ni Gat. Jose Rizal diba? Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng mga BAKLA! kay Chupain ang kabataan!!!

[k0ldexx21]

tama k sundaymoarning.pero me ikokorek lng ko, patayin ang mga anak ng mga may katungkulan s gobyerno dhil cla ang next n manunungkulan s bayan o s bansang pinagnakawan ng kanilang nkktanda!

[sundaymorning03]

para mawala ang corruption sa pilipinas kailangan lahat ng 4yrs old above na pilipino patayin kase ang mga ang mga 3yrs old down nde p nila alam kung ano ang corruption......are u all willing to sacrifice ur self for the sake of our country?

[oomphpower]

every filipino has to take responsibility and know that there is no easy way to defeat corruption and poverty. it will take change from within every filipino. i still have hope for the country, no matter how vague its possibility may be.

[spacej0ckey]

At pagdating sa bagay na yan......lumalabas ang katalinuhan na ginagamitan pa ng common  sense.

[55oiram]

Papaano nyong  malulutas ang corruption sa pilipinas kung ang lahat ng pilipino ay corrupt,,,huh?

[picklerelish]

i agree. because of that i feel like most filipinos lost their respect, discipline and morality and you can't trust them too much anymore, well except your friends and families of course hehe

[55oiram]

Ang malalaking kompanya banyaga man o lokal ay di nagbabayad ng legal na income tax sa gobyerno dahil mas mura pag binayad nila sa ilalim ng la mesa. Yan ang dahilan kung bakit ang mga politiko any nagaagawan sa puwesto. Sinasamtala naman ng mga Pare at Ministro ng simbahan dahil ang gobyerno ay bulag at busog na sa biyaya ng tao na galing sa dyos...hmmmm.

[Flipsify]

May tinatangap ng gobyerno galing sa ebang bansa para matulongan ang mga makapagtatayo ng mga kompanya na makapagbibigay ng mga trabaho sa mga tao pero madaming hindi nakaka alam yan. Dapat kaelangan ipagsabihan yan sa mga mamamayan. Kaya napupunta sa kanila ang tulong galing sa ebang bansa kasi madaming walang nakakaalam at madaming gusto lng magtrabaho sa kompanya. Kung mahilig lng ang mga Pilipino ang pagnenegosyo kagaya sa konstraksyun madami ng umasensong buhay nila sa Pilipinas.

[checkwa000]

ha yooop ang mga official d2 sa pinay daig n ata ang buhaya bawat kilos mu naun sa pilipinas dapat may lagay

[qzxwxzq]

Huwag ka maglagay kung alam mong tama ka. Kung ipitin papeles mo, reklamo ka sa media para mapahiya.

[qzxwxzq]

Kung magnenegosyo ang mga professionals hindi naman mawawala skill nila kundi lalo pang ma enhance dahil lalawak ang market nila, teacher na may school, architect na may construction company, engineer na may manufacturing company, accountant na may accounting firm, aboagado na may law office, yun nga lang may mga challenges ang business pero ang kapalit naman economic freedom, respect, nobody tells you what to do, you own your life because you are the boss.

[rrraberrr]

you are so naive and out of touch . all of the possibilities you mentioned require one thing and that is to be corrupt. for your business to thrive or to be competive in the philippines, youMUST bribe. even our lord gma does it. why do you think pinas is the toilet paper of asia when it comes to corruption. most corrupt. i like you positive vibe but reality speaks for itself

[qzxwxzq]

Mali kasi mentalidad ng Pinoy, gusto natin mag-aral na mabuti para makapasok ng trabaho, kaya ngayon puro trabahador tayo kulang sa employer, dapat ibahin naman, mag-aral na mabuti para magkaroon ng sariling kabuhayan, negosyo.

[redsoil5]

Tama ka sa punto na entrepreneurship,pero mawawalan naman tayo ng mga especialista kung lahat ay magiging negosyante.Pwede rin na combine career katulad nalang ng Doktor na may negosyo din na pharmacy.Arkitekto na may negosyo na Hardware.Journalist na may negosyo na Newspaper o Chef na may negosyo na Restaurant.Kahit anong profession ay pwede magka negosyo. Iiwasan lang yung conflict of interest.

Hindi naman pwede na mawala itong mga profession na ito at lahat ay matutuon nalang sa negosyo.

[commentatto]

It is not the children's fault in the picture. Some on the government still attached on the church about Go and Multiply. We know the source of many of the problems is the population, and still we are not doing anything on it. Let us start with the family and school by giving the teenagers pills and condom and teach them about sex eduction. Be open minded parents, your kids are sex active, talk to them. Population control is the answer because we all love to ah ah ah. : )

[gearzone2611]

@commentatto By allowing giving teenagers pills and condoms, and teach children about sex. Isn't that all people are against for. Big government, you're allowing our government to make't bigger by proposing a bill to enhance their authority against the people, through mandated population program. What's got this to do of making our country safe and stable? You allow them to enforced more regulations and laws that jeopardizes our rights and economy, thru massive government control over education.

[jackiethegreatest]

pleaasee!!! ksalanan nyo yan kya mtuto kayo dpat na tumyo sa srili niyo at wag isisi sa lht ng tao lhat ng mga bgay na sa tingin nyo ay dineprive sa inyo!

[jackiethegreatest]

[redsoil5]

Kahit gaano karaming trabaho ang igenerate ng isang bansa ay hindi rin sasapat kung patuloy din ang pag dami ng tao.Mas maraming guma graduate sa koleyo kasya sa trabahong nag aantay sa kanila.

Kaya ang solusyon ay population control.Ang over population ay maraming masamang dulot katulad ng sanitation,traffic,shortage of shelter,food water,power,jobs.Degradation of environment,depleting agricultural land & forest .Pag naubos ang gubat at agricultural land ay i import na tayo ng pagkain.

[JohnNikshMarcelo98]

You forgot something, Lazyness and no belief in self. People only sit and wait for money to shower but it is not the way it should be, we should make money to shower, we must find jobs and parents should work hard and do everything for their children to graduate in College.

THE CRISIS isn't an excuse that we can't find a job, its just people ae so lazy.

The president is there to lead us not to shower money and feed our stomachs.

[spacej0ckey]

corrupt politicians AND large population  cause poverty!!

[wasaviakoh]

Eh kahit sinu naman uupo bilang presdente nang pilipinas eh talagang nsa dugo na nag mga politicians ang mangurakot!!!! kya tayong mga ordinaryong mga mamamayan ang naghihirap...samantalang sila ay busy sa pangungurakot!!!

[tetchan]

kung sinong makakapagbago sa takbo ng buhay sa Pilipinas, itaas ang kamay!!! Akala ninyo kung sino kayong malilinis!!!Akala ninyo kung sino kayong marurunong!!! Nag people power na kayo, wala pa ring nangyari!! ano ibig sabihin nun? Puro kayo daldal!! Mabuti pa manahimik na lang kayo at magtrabaho ng maayos... dyan magsisimula ang asenso nyo!!

[JohnNikshMarcelo98]

Oo nga.... We should change and not be lazy not the government should change and we should sit and wait for money to shower on our rooftops

[DuskandDawn06]

Hanggang ang tao ay di matuto at walang ibang iniisip kundi sarili lamang walang pagbabago ang mundo.......sad but true!!!

[Joseph20062007]

Philippines must implement one child policy in order to secure the progress of the nation like China. Philippines must destroy the Catholic Church because the bishops are corrupt also like politicians.

[MegaNewlook]

Inside governement philippines political have chinese filipino but they corrupt your country.

[nerdimadic99]

corrupted goverment will lead to nothing, plus, they keep on baby booming, violating human rights and don't follow the rules. This country is gonna die anyway...ahahahaha

[gearzone2611]

Corrupt power corrupt absolutely! Baby booming,they did that in US. Violating human rights and dont follow the rules, the answer is Implement the laws! This country is going to die if the government wouldnt stop borrowing money from abroad and dont put legitimate president that respected the supreme law of the land. Its important rather to respect & get guidance from the Pope that costing a million pesos just to get to Vatican. Its better to respect personal liberty on every Filipino individual!

[huCaresxxx]

It is a sad fact that we are the region's biggest underachiever. phils should overhaul our political and economic systems and stop being a puppet by USA.

[gearzone2611]

Puppet by US Corporation and International Banking Institutions. Bankers plus a tool can take a massive amount of money from such country. The ones that hit hard the most are us! What we do, lower our standard of living and with lacking of governmental programs, we meet more people. From there, we get hungry. Most of us died from lack of food and shelter. Yet, we are taxed to death and a mounting of debts! Debts enslave us all, until we all die and these happy people can take our land as that!

[jontibloom]

Yea sure endemic corruption, like in the Philippines is a recipe for poverty, but having a large population and high pop. growth is compounding the problems. The Catholic Church should stick the preaching if that is what they must do, and shut their fucking mouths about things that dont concern them such as family planning / mining and politics. The catholic church represents some of the most corrupt aspects of the Philippines.

[ourearthhome]

The most fundamental cause of poverty is the state of human consciousness which gives individuals the sense that they are not connected to every other human on the planet and do not themselves suffer when they harm others. This gives rise to the worldly practice where a small percentage of us claim to "own" most of the land and natural resources and have the right to charge the rest of us for access to our own planet. This enriches some at the expense of the rest. All poverty follows from this.

[johnnycurse]

yeah right. its the CORRUPT POLITICIANS!!! sila mga salot sa pilipinas why we been dealing to this poverty! IF ONLY THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE AND HONEST ENOUGH!
