LACK OF EDUCATION
For me lack of education is the most
social issue in the Philippines. We
cannot claim that the Philippine
educational and teaching system
has been flawless based on our
experience. When compared to
other nations, the Philippines used
to have the fewest years of basic
education, so the government
implemented K-12 as a solution. and
now many kids are unable to attend
school, and many Filipinos still have unfinished degrees, making it difficult for them
to find employment. Because of the inadequate or nonexistent educational system
in the Philippines, many children between the ages of 8 and 10 are ignorant,
especially considering how many people prioritize eating over learning. In the
nation, there is no equitable access to education. Lack of resources - Significant
shortages in classrooms, teachers, and other tools to support sound learning also
constitute a significant problem, and in many areas of the Philippines, there are
insufficient schools and instructional resources.
POVERTY
Many families or
houses in the Philippines
lack sufficient space to live,
and as a result, many of
them construct homes
beneath bridges or erect
homes along
roadsides.Many of them
are unemployed or did not
complete their education
due to the hardships of life, which dictates the types of jobs they take in order to
make money. Many Filipinos want to change their lives or way of living, but they are
unable to do so because of the challenges and high costs they face in the Philippines.
As a result, they continue to struggle.
 MENTAL HEALTH
Many young people or teenagers go through
this because of the society they live in, and
because they are frequently judged, it affects
their way of thinking and lowers their self-
confidence because of judgmental people.
They also occasionally go through depression,
stress, and other problems because they
constantly compare themselves to others and
look down on themselves. many die or
commit suicide today because they
experience depression and because of the
negative things they hear about their external appearance and sometimes the problems pile up
and they can't find a solution to their problem so they think it's a solution in all problems end
their lives

CRIME
There are many crimes in the Philippines today.
Whether it's morning, noon, or night, there is
always a case of crime, even if it involves family
or relatives. There are crimes caused by
arguments or poor communication, and they go
through shouting so they end up at home in a
tragic situation. There are also always rapes or
women being touched, especially at night, so you
have to be careful where to go, especially if
you're a woman.No matter which part of the
philippines and no matter what your position is,
you will experience crime because sometimes
there are people who are angry or have a grudge against you and because they are angry with
you, you will be killed and hurt
 UNEMPLOYMENT

Due to a lack of
companies or Filipinos who have
not finished their education, it is
difficult or many lose their jobs
here in the Philippines. As a
result, many Filipinos also rely on
what the government will
provide or look for temporary
jobs to make ends meet. and
many Filipinos are not up to a company's standards or requirements. The daily
suffering and food loss of so many Filipinos as a result of unemployment and a lack
of resources

VICES
Many young people under the
age of 17 today drink, smoke, and
use illegal drugs for a variety of
reasons, including lack of
knowledge about wrongdoings,
peer pressure, and rebellion many
children lose their way due to the
use of illegal drugs or alcohol that
they should not have consumed
and their thinking has been
affected at a young age.Due to
illegal drinking or drug use, a great number of people—especially children—commit
crimes.
 DRUGS

And my least is
drugs People can be made to stop
using drugs here, and if they don't,
they risk being put in jail. Illegal drug
use is one of the Philippines' social
problems, and the police keep an eye
on it and force people to stop using it
so that there won't be any more
crimes or people with different
mental effects. and they can even
make changes in their lives to stop
using this illegal substance in order to lower the number of drug addicts in the
Philippines and stop them from traveling to or transacting in other nations or
locations.
