why i selected this topic?
I chose the topic "Poverty in the Philippines" because in my Earth and Environmental Science class we were learning about the many effects from poverty all around the world. The reason why I chose the Philippines was because I've always wanted to Philippines, and one of my close friends in elementary school was from the Philippines and she would always describe how life was there. Poverty in the Philippines is a big issue there and I felt that it should be addressed and researched about. Also, I always see the different disasters that occur in the Philippines and it made me want to research more about it.
the process
By researching the topic on poverty in the Philippines I gained a lot of knowledge on things I never knew about. Finding solutions on ending poverty is how I came up with my hypothesis then making it my thesis. I expected to learn about the many types of causes of poverty in the Philippines in which I did learn a lot about. The new development that I learned throughout this research was the solution of Agribusiness to help end poverty in the Philippines. The difficulties and struggles that I encountered during my research was not many articles had all the information that I needed, and there wasn't many articles on how big poverty is in the Philippines.
