The Republic Of The Philippines

“...We govern our children without their consent...Would not the people of the Philippines prefer the just, human, civilizing government of this Republic…” (Doc B, Albert J. Beveridge). I disagree with this black and white view of the world. The Filipinos are grown people capable of making the best decision for themselves. Children are not (due to their undeveloped frontal lobes). They do not need America to save them. They wanted freedom enough to attempt war with Spain, a global power, so they have earned that

Ruling a state, a country is really not an easy task. The head of the government should really have his organize and well-planned plan so the organization of its each concept will operate systematically. Taking care of estimated 104 million Filipinos, their lives are all in the governments hands. It is not only the people of this country who’ll be depending in the government but the whole nation, including its resources, establishments, employment and others. The fact that the actions applied by the government will reflect to its people and the whole country, the steps that people who have their powers will take, will be the representation of what will happen to the whole nation. The actions, steps and decisions of the government should be

Philippines is an archipelago located in Southeast Asia near the equator. The Philippine archipelago consists of 7,107 islands divided into three major groups of islands which is Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. As of 2016 the Philippine population is estimated to about 102,624,209 (World Fact Book). The Philippine nationality is termed Filipino and its population is made up of various ethnic groups. The national language is called Tagalog, it also the name of the major ethnic group of the country. According to Philippine Statistic Authority the population of urban area accounts for 45.3% of the country’s total population (Urban-Rural Classification). In contrast, the population in rural area is comprised of 54.7% and considered to be the majority population of the entire country. The Philippine climate is predominantly tropical marine where wet season occurs from November to April and is caused by the northeast monsoon. Similarly, the second set of rainy season, is caused by the southwest monsoon during May to October (World Fact Book). Additionally, the Philippine economy has been relatively resilient to global economic struggles because the country is less exposed to troubled international securities. The lower dependence on exports is what makes the country relatively resilient, relying only domestic products, as well as large remittances from millions of migrant and overseas Filipino workers (World Fact Book). The existing account balance has

Now, what can do to finally move forward? The greater challenge for us Filipinos is to understand

Another is that Filipinos have a culture of apathy and tend to use religion incorrectly and passively. People depend on religion and settle for what’s okay. In addition, the initial reaction of Filipinos to change is resistance, and this is why the country does not necessarily progress, or at least, progress at a continuous rate. Then, countries like Spain and Portugal only rode the “economic tiger” after “they realized that the only way to survive was change” (3.Y). Plus, according to another critic, the Philippines already had the experience of being under the parliamentary system during the time of Marcos which only resulted in a People Power Revolution. So why should the country bother going back to that? (4.Y)

from May to October it is basically the dry season during which most of the foreigners and tourists visit.Since the

As we all know the Philippines is very diverse, and diversity is beautiful and brilliant. Because it means we have a lot of things to offer and we have a lot of things to share. Federalism will strengthen ties and will promote creativity and competitiveness on local governments. This will constitute a big challenge to the citizens and will encourage them to actively participate in their local government’s activities and events. In short, socio-political stability and participation will be greater among

1. FAMILY. The Philippines is known to be a family centered nation. The Filipinos recognize their family as an important social structure that one must take care of.

Syria, Iraq, Iran, China, Korea, Russia, Mexico and last but not least, Liberia are places that the United States of America finds itself involved in. Globalization is the process in which societies and cultures integrate, appropriate, and learn from others. It is a natural process and occurs every time in history when one culture tries to dominate another one. In some contexts, globalization might seem necessary for a society to thrive. However, when a particular society or culture overreaches, that is when problems occur. I wholeheartedly believe that the United States should be involved in the Philippines in order

It is the goal of the government for the Philippines to become the majority of the population throughout the country. This can be seen in many overt and covert actions and policies. Many street names have reverted to their historical names. Philippines has been declared the national language of the country. Expatriated Philippines have been invited to return home and settle. Couples are encouraged to have large families.

The elected government in the Philippines has a long way to go to fully fulfill and succeed in turning the philippines around. Although, it does show promises. With organizations like the league of provinces where it aims to “ventilate, articulate, and crystallize issues affecting provincial and metropolitan government administrations. It likewise serves to secure, through proper and legal means, solutions to problems confronting the locales”(“league of provinces”, n.d.). Some of its
