having power is a good motivator ika nga to have sense or meaning in life.
ito yun pinag-uusapan natin noon bata pa tayo, paglaki ko ganito gusto ko mangyari. and d'ba usually noon bata pa tayo we dont take into consideration the costs, basta gusto natin gawin , dun tayo masaya eh
mahirap din kasi isipin na kesyo 35k lang salary niya tapos gagastos ng 100M or 1B sa election eh siguradong mangungurakot na
politicians are just representatives of a cause worth fighting for or a clash of warring opinions. yun nag-raise ng 100M for him has interests to protect. interests than can serve another but put another into a 6-foot grave.
let's take for example the call center industry. if for say Erap in his ruling days, concentrated more on gambling and all forms of gambling as a major source of income for Filipinos. hindi niya papansinin ang call center industry. to him parang farfetched iyun.
so what will you do as a businessman or an entrepreneur who had the idea that call center can be something big someday, lobby for it and get political allies. it'll cost a lot of money. but it will become a policy one day.
look at us now, a fraction of Filipinos are dependent on the call center industry. This let your parents buy cars, shelter, food for you. that's politics * work.
there are so many policies that can be adopted and invented. most of the time nag-clash yan kasi may kanya-kanya interest. hence, from policy naging politics (or politicking) and therefore, the rise of the politician.
whether we like it or not, politicians are bigger than 25k to 100k salaries.
this moves us all to the future. kaya ganyan ang gastusan dyan to the tune of Billions.
mahirap talaga maging estudyante at ibase lang lahat sa natutunan sa books, we should get involve in the system to fully realize na necessary ang lahat ng nangyayari na ito sa'tin. even after a nuclear war, and na-wipe out lahat ng major cities oozing with bureaucracy, politics and red tape. yun mga survivors will still have politics and politicians
