How to stop or solve the poverty in the Philippines?

SNOOOWWWWWW!!!!! mao ra jd na!..para magtarong ang governent ug mga tao pd..hehe!!

i once did a very rapid area assessment sa mandaue city. i suggested we plant trees to replace our almost non-existent forest cover, have communal toilets for the poorest of the poor...blah, blah, blah...my regional marketing head told me, you should have suggested we put up a huge oxygen tank in mandaue city coz its an urban jungle with no place to breath.

oh well. at least i got a 1.25

if im not mistaken, mayor jonas cortes has a backyard gardening program where residents of mandaue are encouraged to plant vegetables in their backyard. kung wala man gani lot, sa ka-ang i-tanom. this has been picked up by many community gardens (ang ABS-CBN has a garden sa ilang station). i find this simple idea to actually work. at least kung naay vegetable garden ang family or ang community, naay cheaper access to food, diba?

sad to say, gitawag si mayor cortes og bogo sa mga opposition kay ang mandaue kuno industrial city na kuno. nganong mananon pa man daw. kay tungod kuno agriculturist si mayor, mao ra iyang hibaw-an, mananom. gi-devolve kuno ni mayor cortes ang pagka highly industrial sa mandaue. what these idiots from the opposition (kani silang nerissa soon-ruiz, si ouano, fortuna, biano ug uban pang kaalyado nila sa conseho) dont know is that the current trend for industrial cities worldwide is to have green roofs. ang ilang roof top himuon og garden. usually vegetable gardens. even the city hall of chicago has a green roof. the reasons for their roof top gardens are: a) lessen the carbon dioxide in the air, 2) insulation for the building and 3) plant produce (vegetables or flowers)

my point is, naa na man unta'y genuine, workable program to help in food production, nganong daoton pa man gyud. usahay no, kaning mga politiko maoy mo contribute sa kagutom sa mga tao. ga salig lang ni sila nga daghan sila'g kwarta nga ikapalit ug pagkaon.

naay similar nga project ani sa states... nay community garden nya gi close sa gobyerno... naay documentary ani "the garden".

before Imelda Marcos had a program on backyard gardening- I think that was called Green Revoution and it does makes sense and doable even up to now

poverty in the philippines is caused and sustained by the continued theft of resources by corrupt politicians. filipinos support the sustained corruption by taking payment for there votes. if someone buys your vote, they will steal from you later. stop taking payments from corrupt politicians. shortenen and limit the terms of elected officials. create and enforce stronger graft laws. take away the monetary incentives to be a politician and then u have a change of electing someone who has the peoples interest and not their own as their goal.

its difficult to solve the poverty. coz its a cycle. what we need to instill to every filipino is discipline. i think it should be the 1st step, coz poverty is not the main problem, its the result of the main problem.

All that you pointed out is taken up in the hyperwage theory... the single ultimate solution to poverty
