Hindi na ako nagtataka pa kung bakit ganyan. Siyempre pumasok sila sa politics para sa salapi at kapangyarihan. Uto uto lang ang maniniwala na ang isang tao ay tumatakbo sa serbisyo publiko upang tulungan ang sambayanan pilipino.

Kahit sino pa ang tumakbo para sa gobyerno ay ganyan ang mangyayari. Ganun talaga ang buhay hindi na iyan mababago pa simula noong bago pa ipananganak si Jesus Kristo.
