ANSWER:
1. From the middle part of your diagram, which do you think is the incurable defect/vice of the Filipinos? Why
do you think so?
• Based on the diagram, I think corruption is the incurable defect/vices of Filipinos. Simply because Filipinos
are dazzled by power and have greed and desires in money. Also corrupt governments still remain in their
position, because of vote buying since poverty is the main problem in the Philippines. Some voters in the
Philippines also has lack of knowledge and education that leads them to vote corrupt governments. In
conclusion to this corruption will be hard to solve not only in the Philippines but also to other countries
since most of humans are greedy and have hard desires that will lead them to do bad habits that will affect
the economic growth of one’s country.

1. 2. Give some recommendations on how we can eliminate the vices and defects and how getting rid of those
can help us grow as a nation.
• I would suggest to do some research about the vices and defects in the Philippines and find solution. First is
to observe possible reasons why vices and defects is happening, then analyze if there are possibilities to stop
it, if there is a way change the bad habits to good one. Another suggestion is to avoid situations that triggers
vices. For example corruption, be observant and educated about voting if the candidate had a bad
background then avoid voting him, be wise. Filipinos must be taught that if they give you money to vote
them and you are poor be mindful that if we vote them they will not give money again if they win. And lastly
practice being mindfulness, always be mindful about making decision on where it could lead you and your
whole country. If you get rid of those vices then it will help us grow as a nation, by getting rid of things that
makes us poor country and having good and mindful leaders that will help us to be a successful country,
