Corruption in the Philippines is on its massive stage

Corruption in the Philippines is on its massive stage, it can be pointed out whenever, wherever but who’s to blame? Our government?  The church? The people? Or all the choices mentioned? Well corruption is part of our daily lives, everywhere we go in the streets of Manila or even in provinces it is present.  Everything we encounter has a glimpse of the most contagious and deadliest disease that we Filipinos are trying to struggle with. Political corruption is the most evident nowadays. There are numerous vulgar cases of corruption that is just scattered around the corner. Well, are you familiar with P728 Fertilizer Fund Scam, Hello Garci scandal, AFP scandal, and NBN-ZTE scandal? These are just some of the most controversial expose in the history of political corruption. How about these names? Heidi Mendoza, Jun Lozada, Lt. Col George Rabusa? These people became an instant hero after proclaiming corruption within their environment. They became famous and called whistleblowers. What I want to point out is that there are various issues of political corruption and we can do nothing about it. Is it right to say that we are bring bribed by these people in power to serve as their tool in attainting what they want to achieve? Well most likely and no doubt the answer is yes as a crystal clear. Where can you find a President that was found guilty because of plunder? Only in the Philippines. Where can you a find a President that was found guilty in manipulating ballot counts? Only in the Philippines. Where can you find a person shot in the airport because of fighting against independence? Only in the Philippines. Only and exclusive in the Philippines that’s why foreigners and citizens as well labeled Philippines who have the most corrupt leadership and economy. Corruption in the Philippines dominated the news and there comes a point that the church is being questioned. The Church has a mission to lead the people in the upright and humane way of living but how come that corruption is still present? Can we blame Church for this? Should the Church intervene with the decisions in the Malacanang? Or should it simply guide the Catholics with the right path of life? Whether guided or not people should prevent themselves from being corrupted. Isn’t funny how people treat whistleblower as heroes after their expose and the officials involved are the villain? But it stopped there, the situation normalize after several mind manipulating and brain washing, worse bribery. People are very flexible when it comes to money. Sometimes, they forget about everything just to earn money and eat three times a day, that’s how sick and pitiful our situation here. If only we can realize that we are the biggest loser in this fight, we should work hand in hand to stop graft and corruption in the country. Corruption is a serious obstacle that every “Juan” should face, this is a contagious threat to our society and culture that should be cured right now before it can kill us in no time.
