This article talks about 7 armed men acting as cops, telling the guards that they will inspect the rice of the warhouse if it meets the requirements of having a healthy environment for storing rice. This incident happened in Malanday, Valenzuela City last Sunday(June 1,2008). Why are there many people doing crimes nowadays? Is it because of the high poverty rate of the Philippines?
What I'm trying to say in this article is that why do we always hear negative stories about the Philippines? Is there really no hope for the Philippines to redeem itself? I mean few years back, the Philippines is still in good hands. What happened now? People are more greedy with money and it doesn't have to be this way. Stealing and kidnapping..... People should think of alternative ways to earn money. Well, for one they can start a business. We don't really need to be rich to start our own business. We can pick up metal cans and other useful items and sell them to people who need it. We always hear negative stories about the Philippines because the government doesn't concentrate on the poor. They are more focused on burdening the people with heavy taxes so they can earn money. How greedy can the government get? I mean there's hope for the Philippines to redeem itself. New system, new management is the answer! The ones who should govern the people are the ones who are not easily tempted with money. There we go... solutions to this article!
To summarize my opinion, people can get out of their low social class if they 1) find alternative ways to earn money and 2) New government that can help the poor. The ones who are leaning more on the selfless side rather than than the selfish side. I hope many of you will comment on my opinion and feel free to give suggestions on what people should do to avoid crimes like this.

I agree with your solution about the new management. True we need leaders who are not easily tempted by money. But in reality, there are only a handful of capable leaders who are sincere. Furthermore if we put sincere leaders in our present government, there is a high chance that they can be influenced by corrupt officials and later on become on of them. We need leaders who stay strong to their codes and moralities. Who doesn't forget their rules and duties. Who are sincere, honest and strong.
Leaders in our country nowadays tend to be the contrary of what they should be. So, we, the public, would always criticize them for all the wrong doings that they have committed. But, do we think that they are affected by our criticisms?
Some would say yes, but others would beg to disagree. Let's just remember that we should be the ones who will and who are capable of changing the current system of our society.
