funds for self-interest. They make millions and billions of dollars and poor people who
voted for them starve to death. Corruption is also a major reason for poverty in the
Philippines.

Citizens of the Philippines are also responsible for poverty in their country. The
Philippines is an overpopulated country there is a lack of family planning and no sex
education at all. Which results in a tremendous population explosion. It is difficult for
any government to satisfy the need of such a large population with limited resources.

Consequently, Poverty increases in the country. The numbers of jobs are constant and
the population of the country is increasing day by day which results in more
unemployed educated youth this also adds to the poverty of the country.
