"Many villagers accept poverty as a lifestyle that is destined to be passed on from one generation to the next. They live by tradition. Critics deem that the films produced by Philippine cinema reinforce this mentality in the upper working classes living in the Philippines’ urban areas.
According to critics, Philippine cinema romanticizes poverty. Both impoverished villagers and urban dwellers believe there is no need for change and the result is no social or economic progress. This cycle of poverty must be broken. It starts with widespread advocacy: people who are willing to speak up and people who are willing to listen."

I am also so sick of seeing poverty as the norm in every Filipino entertainment media. South Korean poverty rates are exactly the same as the Philippines.
What can the Filipino people do about this?

It's not poverty, the problem with us is our mental state that leads to poverty. Most Filipinos were raised to serve and build in another country.

I think the philippine media are just telling the regular stories of domestic workers to povertish class.

I think it has something to do with the elites in the Philippines.
