I think that poverty needs to be properly addressed through a collective effort of both the government and the people. The solution to this issue cannot be executed by one party alone. Hence, even though the govenment strongly implementing laws and programs to eradicate or lessen the poverty in our country, if people, still do not find ways to make their lives better, nothing will happen. Likewise, even though the people are doing everything that they can in order for them not to experience poverty anymore, if the government os corrupt and doesn't care about the welfare of the people, nothing also will happen. Thus, the government and the people must exert an efforr in order to solve this dilemma.
