Reduce military spending, AND increase wealth tax

No, reallocate funding and increase taxes on the wealthy

Improve fiscal management

Improve government spending & curb corruption instead

Public spending should not be cut off assuming it does not go to corrupt officials while look for ways to pay off debt.

No, everybody must pay their own fair share of taxes

its depends

Stop corruption rather.

In our situation now my answer is no. Because we are in big need of medical attention.

i don't really know the answer

Maybe the government should make cuts to trivial public spending to have enough money for us to pay the national debt.

No, think about other people like (poor families, etc.)

No, but increase taxes on the wealthy and government officials and reduce spending on the military & police.

Yes but amend the Constitution, remove 60-40 Economic Provisions and other Restricted Economic Provisions and Liberalize the Economy to Foreign Direct Investments

No, focus on ending tax evasion, reduce salary of government officials and increase taxes on the wealthy instead.

no, the national debt is not a serious issue

No, reduce military spending, provide a transparency spending report, and ban asking for confidential funds that makes the Philippines in great debts

No, reduce the government spending instead

Cutting public spending can lead to poor materials for our government's project and a lot of public workers would also pay less than what they deserve so that's a hard no. I was thinking on what could be done and while reading the other choices I have come up a reason as to why cutting funds for those places wouldn't be beneficial, though I did spot a few reasons that are quite resonable. Here is my proposal. What if we continuously improved our country's economy and stand by our own feet? Though there is a chance that a debt would still be formed but it could be minimal…  Read more if we or our government official can support the country by itself. There are some few points here listed that we can use for the growth of our economy such as, cutting down the salary yet leaving the benefits for our government official. End tax evasion, increase the taxes on the wealthy increase the taxes on multinational corporations with those factors there is a high chance that our economy might be able to be run independently. We can also avoid corruption by preventing people with criminal records run back to politics and follow the anti political dynasty.

Yes, but if government officials are not corrupt, then no for the long run.

Look for other revenue source
