ACTIVITY 2

Write a personal essay on what is currently experienced in the country.

There was a lot of news coverage of the entire country. There is a lot of information floating
around about poverty, the health crisis, and inflation. Do you think this circumstance will be solved?

People think that things will not be the same the way that they used to be. Even crimes,
misinformation, a lack of education, and an unjust society are uncontrollable by Filipinos, including
those in positions of power. A lot of us want a good government that will put an end to these problems.
This issue affects the whole nation; it causes death, and it makes people poor. In the middle of these
events, some cannot endure them, and others have lost their interest in living anymore. But we know
that everything will be okay. It will take time, but we should be positive in our thoughts, which can help
us overcome all the problems that we are facing right now. I hope that our country will recover and
become better as time passes by. Everyone can help and has a role that needs to be played.

No one will make it unless we cannot take it into action. We Filipinos are the ones who started
it, so it means that we are also the reason to stop this crisis, misinformation, lack of education and
poverty. If we're not going to make a plan, we cannot say that the Philippines is now totally evolving its
society and people if half of the Filipinos are still below the poverty line, which can affect their
livelihood, education, their jobs, their support and, of course, their mission and vision. So many parts of
our country are still processing and recovering after the pandemic started. So many opportunities have
not been taken because of what we are facing now. I believe that we will overcome it if we unite as one
community, one society, and one nation. Changes start in how we take up space so that opportunities
will lead us to success.

I hope that our country will recover and become better as time passes by. Everyone can help
and has a role that needs to be played.
