philippines is in danger. our president is putting us back in lockdown without actual plans on what to do. they're prioritizing the army and police. they dont care about our medical front liners. So many doctors and nurses have died. People have resorted to stealing to survive
people are dying and they don't care. we're just numbers to them. the presidential spokesperson said only a few children died. they obviously do not care. the president has been borrowing money from diff countries and institutions.
just so you know, philippines isn't Korea or Japan. We're not a rich country. But just this year, the president has already borrowed 9 trillion pesos (~$1.8 trillion). Despite this large sum of debt, we were just told that we do not have enough funds for COVID 🙃
our covid statistics didn't even have a "second wave" we only had a graph that rises up as time goes. My people has resorted to lying because if they didn't they would lose jobs, unable to make money and support their family. The government also stands in the way of volunteers
There is a risk of being arrested if you volunteer. Yes. Arrested. For helping your fellow countrymen. They recently passed a bill that would allow the police to arrest anyone they think is a terrorist. Evidence or not.
They are trying to tax our internet activity, even going as far as taxing the search engines that everybody uses. Yes, they are trying to tax the use of google and the like.
Despite the lack of resources, the department of education has no intention to freeze the academic year. They want to push through with online school. Again, we are not a very rich country financially.
In Asian Development Bank's given statistic, on 2018 16.6% of Filipinos are under the poverty line. That's at least 16 million people. Imagine how many of those are students.poor families will be forced to choose between passing the year or being able to eat for the day.
We are in danger. The government is trying to kill us.
