C. #Corruption – The picture shows obese man with lots of money and is carried by people under him.
This represents government officials being wealthy and carried by people. This only means that the
officials become wealthy because of the people under them. This is common in the Philippines because
as we can see, there is no such evidence that our country is turning into a better country. We can see
lots of people affected by this corruption. Corruption significantly impacts various aspects of life in the
Philippines, influencing its political, economic, and social spheres.
Efforts to combat corruption in the Philippines involve institutional reforms, strengthening of anti-
corruption bodies, and increased transparency and accountability measures. Addressing corruption is
crucial for improving governance, fostering economic growth, and ensuring equitable development
across the country. The picture below shows how politics should be. Politicians should raise people from
poverty and make the community better ad improve and not to use people to be wealthy.
