It takes a village...

If it takes a village to educate a child, according to the next and first female president of the United States Hilllary Clinton in a book she earlier wrote with the same title, I believe this principle should also be applied in solving the many big problems that affect us today.

People should understand that it is they who make society work and so they should not simply sit by as they expect the government to make things easy for them. Unfortunately, this thinking is encouraged by politicians so they can keep their hold on power.

The village or the barangay is where the building of the nation begins. And in this, all the people must get involved.
