    corruption is so entrenched in the Phils. it has become part of culture

    the higher up you go mas grabe ang corruption

    children of oligarchs don't even know that their families' wealth depended on corruption (bribing, giving commissions & kickbacks to govt officials, lobbying for laws to protect their businesses from competition etc)

    they help each other
    I think I have to clarify my statement because it depends on what levels of govt belongs to high or low.
    I refer to high as in highest level (Pres, Congress and SC). mid- level as departments and attached agencies. Low local govt agencies. Lowestest the brgy level. This is just for me and not official of course.

    The highest level receives the highest amt per transaction. But IMO, lower levels has the higher number.

    sana may accountability din. may mga palpak na govt officials si ngoyngoy pero hindi maalis. e.g puno and llamas (stike two na nga si llamas)

Siguradong si Lapid daming butas sa SALN din...

    daming congressman na kampi dati kay GMA ang kampi na ngayon kay Pnoy ibig sabihin tuloy ang ligaya hehehehe

    I agree dapat all goverment officials should waive their assets and other accounts now, so they can't be subjected to BLACKMAIL by whoever is in power.

    I think this will serve as a wake-up call for all of our government official. We should start somewhere and this is it.

    ^ To be frank, we've been "starting from somewhere" since the first People Power that ousted ex-Pres. Marcos (for me, being an 80's teenager). I've lost count about the time they impeached ex-Pres. Estrada.

    We've been like:

    "Ito na."
    "Hindi pa"
    "Ito na, ito na!"
    "Hindi pa rin"
    "Malamang ito na yan!"
    "Ay! Wala pa rin"
    "Ito, peks man, totoo na!"
    "Yaaa! Hindi pa rin!"

    Everytime a demon is kicked out of office, another one with twice as many horns takes over.
