Correct! Change is from within.
Lessons in life: do not depend on government for anything. Lahat, sariling sikap.
Hindi ako pinanganak na mahirap, pero mag isa ako ngayon sa bago kong buhay. (Well, I mean, kami lang ng family ko.)
Would like to echo this response, because too much people are really getting used to blaming everything on the government.
It's true that part of what makes us all suffer is the government's corrupt nature but anyone can do something not to live a desperate life.
Just do something!
