When looking at the problems in big cities like Metro Manila, I tend to adopt a holistic view to identify the real cause of the issue.
Explanation:
Adopting a holistic view of a problem means that we look into the main reason behind all of the issues happening in a particular area. In the case of Metro Manila, if we only focus on a single problem and fail to address the root cause, we will never be able to solve the problem. All of the issues in the capital – lack of housing, income inequality, overused transportation system, and massive traffic jams – are the effects of overpopulation, and that’s the main issue that we should be resolving.
