Poverty All Over: Why Is This?

Poverty is a wide spread phenomenon. We see poverty all over the world, but poverty has different meanings from different people. As for me, poverty is a state of life, where in somebody is not capable of supplying his or her basic needs like shelter, clothings and the most importantly, FOOD. In the Philippines, poverty is everywhere. Unlike other well-developed countries, the government of the Philippines lacks the responsibilities to help supply the needs of the people who cannot supply there own, due to the corruption. In the Philippines, I see poverty all over. Beggars, houses that are not well, and people who gets hungry. "Why is this happening?" I ask myself. "Is there a way out of this poverty?" I asked again. Maybe, yes. If we could change the government. I really pity those people who are under poverty. Poor people, who has no jobs at all, that is why they don't get to rise from poverty. I say, the government must act on this state, because if they are, then most probably the word "Poverty" does not exist in here.
