What happens now? After Corona was found guilty?

so makikita na natin ang uniporme ng buong congress na yellow at pati mga senators.. si Midas nagpatahi na ng yellow na damit

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.

[Retz]

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

the Tarlac Mafia rules

^ 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.

By the time we got to People Power 2, I was sick of it. And I was at People Power 2. The moment the politicians showed up and started grandstanding, I knew what was coming next. They used us for a power grab.

At least, the difference is this time, they're pretending to go through channels. The appearance of proper function of government is important, you know.

as if this is a start... start to what?

start of realization that nobody can go against the Yellow Army?

they've proven to be very powerful

they jailed an ex-president. now they impeached an SC justice

impressive

now everyone will bow down to them

they're untouchable

the Tarlac Mafia/Yellow Army/Makati Business Club hacienderos rule the country

sa tingin niyo this will benefit the masses?

haha

the masses will remain poor

the powers-that-be will always look after their own interests first

mukhang magandang magpautang ah with collateral ... kikitang kabuhayan

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)

The real corruption money comes in as you go up the hierarchy. Those lagay-lagay at the small fry level (enforcers, clerks) are really just peanuts and is for me is quite meaningless in the whole scheme of things if you're talking about losses due to corruption.

Kids of these political families are already born and raised in the distorted ways that they probably are not bothered by knowing the sources of their income, it's impact to society and to their morals as a whole.

What happens next? Life goes on but this impeachment trial is really a learning process and i do hope that those who know less will learn new things on the ways of the world and how utterly stupid our elected officials can be (i mean gosh, just listening to how some senators and congressmen talk and think is quite shameful... oratory skills zero).

For politicians, expect them to evolve to the next level when it comes to hiding and laundering their wealth. I've met some in my line of work and when i look at their businesses, other interests and relations, i do see that they are quite good enough to get away with it.
