Hidden Villain

People always blame the government for the poverty they experience in this country, what they don't know is that half of the fault falls on them.  Why is it in America, food is abundant where everyone even the poor can eat, whereas in the Philippines it doesn't happen that way.  People says that it is because of the corruption happening in the government. They say it is the number one cause of poverty in the country. Yes it can be true but one thing they forgot to include is that the citizens are also at fault.

I recently realized that we are really overpopulated in this country.  We are not as big as China but we can see that our population will fit China if it is possible to trade countries. "Poor" people will say how pitiful they are but when you asked them how many children do they have they would probably reply six, eight, ten or twelve maybe.  Another thing that should be realize by the citizens of this country is that overpopulation did not only bring poverty but also unemployment. Because of this, crimes increase just to earn money and when you asked the culprit, they will simply say that they are sorry and that they need the money so much to feed his family or whatever.

Again, people may blame the government for overpopulation, but if we will be more critical on this situation, the government has no power to stop the natural "urges" of the people.  They even promoted the reproductive health bill but still some people won't use it. Although many would still still deny this fact, the hidden villain in our country that cause crisis here is overpopulation.
