    SOC 100- The Contemporary World


    BFA-1st Year

    1. Is it possible to attain the 17 SDGs in the Philippines?


    The Philippines is considered as a third-world country and one of the poorest one on
    ASEAN wherein something the citizen shouldn’t be entirely proud of. We are moving on
    a slow pace and can’t entirely keep up with how the world evolves. Although the
    Philippines acquired several government development goals that each regime focused on
    these doesn’t entirely eradicate the predicament related to these aspects. And in my
    observation with the today’s setting regarding the diverse chaotic situation happening,
    attaining the 17 SDGs will be an unimaginable. Especially that the election clarifies the
    Marcos’ landslide win and these expound how stupid these Filipinos decisions are. There
    are dominant pests scattered on Philippine society such as poverty, hunger, health issues,
    poor education, and such that weren't even a slightest bit minimized even on his late
    father's authorities. And more importantly, highlighting the rise of deaths during those
    times. The SDGs weren't concentrated yet should be solved in a form of cooperative
    tandem between the government and the citizens. As to what I solely credited that there
    should be a "big action to see a difference" thus, due to the other factors such as
    ignorance, stupidity, ulterior motive, selfishness, and egoistic characteristics of these
    Filipinos made it even more harder for the Philippines to fully experience the
    development goals the United Nations envision for the better world, especially to a poor
    country such as ours. Lastly, the impossibility is seriously at a high stake even for a good
    governance because it needs to be sustain continuously and it will only be effective after
    a long run and certainly, again, with a big action.

    2. If the SDGs are relevant in the PH, how is it implemented?


    As much as I wanted these SDGs to be dominantly effective to the Philippines, it's a bit
    difficult to perceive it due to the impossibility. We know that there are several programs
    that relates to these SDGs yet, there are only few benefactors that profited from it and
    these rates are low which continuously described the Philippines situation. However,
    perhaps in a utopian multiverse that these SDGs are truly and efficiently relevant in
    Philippines, despite the minor conflicts, the effectiveness will be felt diversely by every
    Filipino citizen. Contrary to the first answer, in order to experience these goals. There
    needs to be a clean and good governance handling the country along with reliable
    cabinets and local government that maneuver each regions following the regulations
    properly and with humanity. For short, no corruptions involved. If the Philippine officials
    granted the sugarcoated promises they bid then we will be able to get the grasp of these
    SDGs and its potentials. There will be plenty of programs implemented on LGUs and
    there are action plans that they created and further established. While the country often
    yearn for betterment and advancements on several aspects that the country won’t mind
    such conflicts in hindering. Along with the citizens, if they'll see that there's an
    improvement then they'll rely more on the government without grudges. Moreover, the
    goals will be fulfilled that even a small actions will be seen and highlighted. We know
    that there are several actions made complementing the SDGs yet these are still low and
    are continuously swallowed by opportunists’ inhumane activities.

    3. What SDG should the PH focus on?

    Filipinos are fully aware with the situation the Philippines is facing, in all aspects. We are
    far behind to other fast-growing countries. Our status is barely rising which is expected.
    Whether its education, health, government, communities, and such. The fact that our
    fellow countrymen wants to escape this chaotic place, in either migrating and finding
    better life on other places or searching for high-paying salary that can sustain his/her
    family on the Philippines. These are the factual reasoning that are clearly describing how
    poor our economic status is. It’s not something to be proud of, so in my perception,
    amongst those seventeen sustainable development goals, the Philippines should focus on
    the decent work and economic growth. I know that it shouldn’t be the top priority for our
    country however, would like to share some life-based experiences about this which made
    me think what if this is efficiently effective here. As one may find out, my father is an
    Overseas Filipino Worker since 2013 and actually, most of our clan have those in either
    side or perhaps experienced leaving the country to work temporarily or for a short span of
    time. And let me tell you, it isn’t a bit easy. My father is a college undergraduate and
    with the Philippines’ standard with those individuals will get you to a poor wage
    occupation that won’t seriously suffice three children, two college students on private
    schools. Yet, even for a graduate, the salary will still be low which is incomparable to
    how other foreign countries pay even if they don’t acquire multiple requirements unlike
    ours. Thus, concluding simply how broken our system is. So, we should focus as well on
    that aspect of our country, the government should be able increase our economic growth
    not just solely from capitalism but from also the quality and standard that will be
    heightened if there’s an increase of salary visible for all the workers. There should be
    enough program that the government offers especially training workshops to those who
    are dedicated on working similar to how TESDA works while also, increasing the
    minimum wage. Actually, Filipinos are well-capable in adapting to work environments
    which have skills that are prominent worldwide. In addition, as an artist and planning to
    be a professional in the near future, I’ve yearned to work outside country due to how
    underrated our country with art. So that mindset is greatly embedded in myself because
    of how they perceived it as not a “decent work”. However, if chances or our economic
    status turn 360, then I would want to continuously work here without minding how I’ll
    strive my life as an artist.
