as much as i wanted to distant myself from writing my views about the present situation of my country i just can't. i cannot hold back anymore.
i am going to start with the present govt which includes the opposition and the fuckers. you know politician in the philippines (generally, that is 98 % in my opinion) are selfish, corrupt and full of themselves. they feel that they are the gods . they do not realize that its the people they have fooled during the election who put them in their pedestal except of course those cheaters. they just don't know the true meaning of public service. instead they are really good in math. they know how much they could get during their 3 year or 6 year term. and they are really good in splurging the money .
prices of commodities, goods, services etc whatever you want to call it soar up high. wages are low. the govt keeps the taxes we paid for and spend it for their whims.
infrastractures are substandard. this is where you can see roads being concreted and after a year it gets destroyed by the same contractor to build a new one. imagine the heavy traffic it causes. why can't they build a good one that will last for centuries or decades to say the least. the reason is of course to earn millions for their own pockets. imagine the contracts and the percentage they will get from it. i heard the same story about this in one of the provinces i visited. the mayor insisted that the korean contractor will build the road and not the local contractors. the result of course is the best one they could have and the local contractors of course who are expecting to earn from the project were dismayed. i commend the mayor of course. but not all mayors especially congressmen are like him.
in my own province, there was this project which the congressman built and it was just half-finished. the other half would be in his next term. the project was supposed to be completed since he ask for the budget and it was properly appropriated. but no one dares to check if the project was completed anyway so he gets away with it. and so with all his other projects.
is this the way you would be proud of with your govt.? the one we call "leaders" are the ones who suck the blood of the country. filipinos are not proud of the leaders they have. starting from the barangay captain to the highest position in the land. filipinos are proud when they hear a kababayan won this or that in a contest abroad but that doesn't change the situation here. that only clouds the bad situation for the moment. it doesn't feed the hungry. it doesn't lower the price of oil, goods etc.
the quality of education is not good anymore. the govt cannot allocate enough funds for education. no classrooms, lack of books, lack of competent teachers. (i can't even say i got proper education but that is a diff story).
jobs. lots of filipinos doesn't have a decent jobs. they find it abroad.
poverty. the govt does nothing about it. totally. some private sectors do. but its not enough.
crime rate. the best we ever have. murder due to petty reasons to heavy ones, carnapping, kidnapping, robbery, extortion. want more? drunk driving is not considered a violation here. drunked drivers either get killed, get someone killed or live but the vehicle totally damaged.
we cannot simply put someone behind bars. no budget for prisoner's food. so might as well let the prisoner stay overnight and allow them to escape or lower the bail.
if you are rich its the poor's crime and they are to be convicted.
cheap sex. you can find it here. the country promotes sex tourism. but not advertised. sorry. you have to have a good connection. white slavery welcome.
drugs. its easier to build a simple drug lab here. beware of the officers who will raid you. they will resell your goods.
welcome to my country. where the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. there's hope they say. yeah right. this is my opinion. i will not do anything either to do some good things for my country. what for?
