Approximately we have P6 trillion debt on a belt. That is why 85% of our P758 billion profit will just be for our payment. Instead of that money being used on things beneficial to our country, we Filipinos are not benefiting from it because our government has to pay for those debts. Though we don’t really know where it came from, who used it and where it was used. That is why many of us are now experiencing poverty because of the different deficiencies we have on aspects like health, education and labor, peace and political stability.
