Opinion
• One thing that I find interesting is how the
Philippines aren’t wealthy country and there is
poverty surrounding everyone. But they are so
happy there and that is why a lot of people
choose to stay there when given the chance to
leave.
• One thing I don’t like is how there are
terrorists out there disturbing the peace. For
example, there are terrorist bombings that are
costing innocent lives.
Opinion Cont.
• I would not like to live in the Philippines I think
I would have too hard of a time adjusting to a
whole new culture.
But I would like to visit there one day. I have
heard a lot of cool things about the
Philippines from my friends in California. I
would visit there but not live there.
