In a probable future, many Filipinos believe that the Philippines would be able to experienceΒ Β systemic improvement. The technologies Filipinos use would become more advanced, which would significantly influence our way of life.
The impact of digitalization would be widespread in the country, seen across various sectors.
Cities would become more livable for Filipinos thanks to improved hard and soft infrastructure provided by the government.
However, at the same time, many Filipinos also believe that the country would experience systemic stagnation. Even if the country may undergo the aforementioned developments, much of the population may not be able to benefit from them due to the people in power.
Essential services and the latest innovations would be difficult to acquire in the Philippines because of its leaders' irresponsibility.
In line with this, those in power would not be incentivized to invest in innovative solutions for the benefit of the entire population, since they would prioritize profit over societal well-being. This would prevent the country from reaching its full potential.
Thus, because of this unequal dynamic, many Filipino believe that the countryβs status quo would remain relatively unchanged.
Significant class disparities would continue to persist. The economic growth experienced by the country would not translate into tangible improvements felt by the general population, exemplified by a huge disconnect between official reports and the lived experiences of Filipinos.
Filipinos would continue to be devoted consumers, easily giving away their money and attention in exchange for gratification.
The Philippines would grapple with a persistent loneliness epidemic, driven by multiple factors.
In this age of AI, the importance of human creativity and critical thinking will start to diminish.
Unsatisfied with the ongoing status quo, young Filipinos will take action to fight for a better future.
