It's really heartbreaking for me that everytime you need someone to comfort you and support you in time of your needs no one seems to help you out. You really have to do on your own and sacrifice a lot. Now I feel what other people feel when they had nothing, a food to eat, a shelter, a water to ease the thirst. I must say It's so hard. I never expect that I will get to experience this kind of hardship in two days after getting sick and as a sacrifice I made to myself for how it feels like starving and no one really wants to help you.
The economy of the Philippines today is getting worse and too many people starving to death. The government/politicians should know this and make good things for all the Filipinos, his countrymen, fellow citizens and not thinking only for themselves.
I'm afraid that one of these days, many families will suffer and die.
How can we make change? What are we going to do not to live in misery?

we all go through that times in our lives. mind you, there could be several of these issues, and hardships. i have been through such an experience myself and to let you know, it was a time when i hve no means of income, no means of getting money - i fairly walked from our house in pasay to our school in makati a couple of times too... a pack of noodles is what we had to share as a family of 4 daily, not every meal. so you see you could still be in a better position....
i have gone past that experience now and i know you too will be okay.. never mind the friends you have that has left you and has chosen not to stay by yourside. you will know a lot of those kinds of people and you will just shrug it off one day and realize how great it was to be free of friends who does not seem to know the true meaning of friendship.
to be free of misery, learn to live each day one at a time. be cool, keep your cool. you will need to work hard but still enjoy life's simple things. appreciate nature, go back to your faith and grow your hope - have an ambition and work towards your goal...

hi ccarabuena,
Yes my friend , I know that Philippines is too much in the corruption. What is the way out to get out of this situation?
You alone can not do any thing. You need to build a huge public opinion and any democratic country is bound to oblige by the public opinions.
This is you and you like minded people who can really change the face of your country.

I might be able to gather thousands or millions of people to make a change in the economy however if there only one of them will let himself / herself tempted with few peso / dollar will surely leave you hanging without thinking it twice.

difficult times, it's very hard to live. but with a passion for changing the state must all be changed. although very heavy, if we do with a happy heart and patience, all the hard times would be easy to overcome. hopefully all the hard times faced by people could soon be passed. so that the good life is no longer a dream.

I think dreaming of healthy and happy life will not solve the problem, we must begin it in ourselves eventhough others not doing the right thing to correct the mistake instead they worsen it

maybe, the person's effort seems scanty compare to a group, but if you were in trouble,to make yourself happier maybe can simplify some prolems, because if you don not think it should be a huge work to solve problems by you own, you may become more pessimistic and meeting more trouble than you imagined. in fact, it is not so bad, although you feel lonely and weakly which seems struggling in a hot water but no one can help you, you can also make you more confident and stronger to stand in this society.

Well i just want to tell you that you are not the only one being in that kind of situation. I been down a lot of times before, and it happens that most of thet time i am alone in solving my problems. The people that i expect to be comforting me in times of my trouble are not usually there for me for so many reasons, most are beyond their control.
So i have learned to live independently and when there is no one that i count on, i just pray to heaven for help.And always, heaven answers in ways we cannot comprehend sometimes, but for sure Somebody up there will never leave us in times of trouble.
Keep the faith...

I experienced the same, when I got sick and was alone, I needed to gain extra energy to take care of my own sick self. It's very frustrating and annoying, because as for myself I would be ready to be there for my friends who would need my support and help, but when it's me who needs them they're nowhere to find.
When it comes to our economic situation in the Philippines, yes I agree it's getting worse each day. Government officials of course have a big part of all this mess, but let's not forget also, that sometimes it's the people themselves who contributed to make the mess so messy..
