If our politicians were like that, we would have no one left in govt.

Ah yes... let's play the "just blame the gov't for all our problems" game once again. It's only the gov't who is corrupt! :rofl01:

Though if you put some more thought on this - corruption is also present in other countries whether it is a developing one like ours or a developed one like Japan.

In this case - we can also consider those who "donated" (the contractors for the rigged bidding) to the former minister as corrupt also.

oooookaaaay... i didnt say anything about blaming anyone for the problems of the country...

I was just pointing out the difference in culture.

Where a japanese minister who gets involved in scandal would kill himself while pinoy officials who get involved in scandal would never ever do such a thing.

[fearless]

yes, malaki talaga ang difference ng culture nila,remember, even in their old days, they commit "sepuko" ,if their honor had been shamed,
kaso sa atin iisa lang ang linya "i'm sorry..."

Sabi nga ng isang 'free thinker-writer', ang pagiging relihiyoso raw ng mga Pinoy ang maaaring isang dahilan kung bakit tuluy-tuloy ang corruption sa ating bansa. Bakit nga ba?

Sabi niya,- kung mayroon daw corruption o anomalyang nagawa ang isang Pinoy (whether sa gobyerno o hindi),- he/she doesn't take it against him/herself,- he/she just confesses his/her sins and he/she comes out of it immaculately.... Sadly, wala ang reformation/transformation, na pinakamahalaga sa ating confession....

I am a religious person,- pero,- mukha ngang wala ang pagbabago sa atin pagkatapos tayong magkumpisal ng kasalanan... At ginagawa itong 'taguan' ng mga magnanakaw sa lipunan.... Mahiya naman tayo (hindi kayo) sa ating mga pinaggagagawang kamalian....

Isa pa,- we have laws,- pero hindi ipinapatupad ng tama. Kung alam ng bawat Pinoy na ipapatupad ng tama ang batas kahit sino ka pa.....

You mean less corrupt pag hindi religious? haha. Joke.

AFAIK, one has to be truly repentant to be forgiven -- even in confession. It's not supposed to be a forgive and forget type of a thing. Perhaps, the church would do well to emphasize this fact. Anr/or make penance really, really difficult para alam nilang it's genuine.
