WHILST OTHER PEOPLE ARE DEBATING IF ARTS INCLUDING PAINTING AND MUSIC ARE DRAINING THE FUNDS OF THE GOVERNMENT,SOME BELIEVE THAT THIS MONEY IS BETTER OFF TO BE SPENT ON OTHER PUBLIC NEEDS.I STRONGLY AFFIRM THE LATTER VIEW AS THERE ARE OTHER NECESSITIES THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FOCUS ON, AND THIS INCLUDES POVERTY . PRESENTLY, MANY FAMILIES FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD ARE EXPERIENCING difficulty TO ITS HIGHER LEVEL ,TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY COULD NOT EAT MEALS AT LEAST THREE TIMES A DAY AND CAN NOT PROVIDE FOR THE BASIC NEEDS OF THEIR FAMILY AND THEMSELVES.FOR INSTANCE, IT WAS RECORDED THAT MANY FILIPINO PEOPLE SUFFERED IN starvation BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF JOBS.AS A RESULT,MOST OF THEM ARE LIVING IN SLUMS AND IN BAD CONDITIONS DUE TO NEGLECT FROM THE GOVERNMENT. FURTHERMORE,FOCUSING ON ARTS LIKE PAINTING AND MUSIC IS NOT REALISTIC AS NOT ALL PEOPLE CAN ENJOY THIS KIND OF TALENT.GIVING ATTENTION TO MORE IMPERATIVE NEEDS OF THE POOR CAN HELP THEM ALLEVIATE THEIR DAILY HARDSHIPS....
