The rich live in mansions and the poor eat garbage. Why is the gap between rich and poor in the Philippines so big?

The Philippines is a colony of the United States and Spain. It is controlled by the United States and Spain and has to rely on the United States and Spain for development, so it lacks independence. Moreover, the wars that are always being provoked also make the Philippines very distressed. The poor cannot find jobs, the rich are getting richer and richer, and many poor people cannot gain a foothold in big cities. The distribution is seriously uneven!

The level of economic development in the Philippines is disproportionate to the population, distribution is seriously uneven, and the huge gap between rich and poor has gradually become a very serious problem in the Philippines. In the past two or three decades, the Philippines has shown a considerable gap between rich and poor. The rich live in villas and drive luxury cars, while the poor pick up garbage and eat swill. Many people live in slums.

When the Spanish-American War broke out, Spain's steady retreat prompted the United States to lead the battlefield to the Philippines, because the Philippines was a Spanish colony in Asia. Later, the U.S.-Philippines War occurred. This war lasted for three years. In the end, the Philippines failed to escape the control of the hegemonic country and became a colony of the United States.

The Philippines' over-reliance on the United States and lack of independence in economic development is bound to be deformed. After the war, the output of factory products dropped significantly. In order to maintain business operations, employers had to lay off a large number of employees, most of whom came from surrounding rural areas to work in the city.

The huge psychological gap of having to return from a prosperous city to a poor rural area overnight has aggravated the long-standing class conflicts and sharply increased the severity of the problem. This gave rise to a series of social problems, which completely disrupted the normal economic order of the Philippines and even the smooth operation of the country. Since then, the economy has collapsed and the gap between rich and poor continues to widen.

Faced with this series of problems, the gap between the rich and the poor in the Philippines has naturally widened. The Philippines, which has suffered so much harm and suppression, is naturally in a state of uneven development. .
