If any Filipino had the opportunity to do what the Marcoses' had done, they would do the same.

Moneywhiz, I apologize if I have been misunderstood. What I was pointing at is if anyone were "a strongman and in power for 20 years", he would be tempted to do what the Marcoses' had done. Btw, what is your estimate as to those "some who died without enriching themselves".

hi there j_avonni......my personal estimate is: only 2 out of 10 would have died without enriching themselves......

ok, now i understand what you mean in your post......sorry if misunderstood you

Ayoko na mag comment about the Marcoses..(It has become a state of mind in which the idea of good and bad has receded into the background.)

not filipinos... but everyone... some things are easier said than done... madaling sabihin na hindi tayo magiging corrupt pero kung andun na tayo... hindi natin alam... maraming public officials ang hindi corrupt... sa ngayon... eh kung maging presidente kaya sila? ewan natin...

tulad ito ng case ni hitler... men adore him, women loved him, kids wanted to be him... since greed and "power tripping" is natural to man... definitely hitler would be abusive...

my mom (who is in public service) told me that even if people would ask around and do a background check on her, she could guarantee everyone that she is not corrupt now... but if she would become the president... she dont know... you cant tell unless YOU have been there...

if you think you cannot resist the temptation of stealing the people's money, then don't join the government. stay in the private sector. kaya lang sa private sector kelangan talaga me utak ka para makahanap ka ng job na OK ang compensation. hindi uso ang palakasan in most private companies (IT companies, in particular).

katwiran nung mga magnanakaw sa government, maliit sweldo nila kaya sila nagnanakaw. e bakit sila nagtyayaga sa gobyerno? ang sagot - kase hindi sila matatanggap sa mga high paying jobs in private corporations coz they're not intelligent enough. baka napadede ng panis na gatas nung bata pa
