This poem talks about a specific event that happened during Marcos’ time; it shows how difficult and miserable life was in those years. Although the author is describing and talking about something that happened decades ago, this poem, if read today, is still appropriate for the situation of the Philippines. Poverty is still prevalent and the situation of the Philippines hasn’t changed at all. <br />The headline today shows that the Peso is getting stronger. I hope it continues because it is about time that our country rises again. Our country needs good governance and unity amongst the people, if we achieve it, then progress is near. -Jessica EvangelistaJessica Lacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03798091260313868622noreply@blogger.com
