the burden of dirty politics

The social degeneration continuously changing the moral standard of the human race and it is terribly unthinkable. What if sensible people can not endure it? Maybe they could just stay in the sideline and grin and bear it in digress. But what if a certain government and its rank and file employees are considered lavishly corrupt, dishonest, greedy and inept and having defective moral stature? Similarly, sensible people have no choice but to endure the everlasting wickedness of their government and its workforce doing misery to them and to their country at large. That picture of a country destroyed in the past and continuously suffers under new crop of leaders from the executive, legislative and judiciary is the same rundown picture of a country trying to rise exhaustingly from political, economic and social turmoil. Sadly, wickedness rules where scams and anomalies are the daily functions in the executive department. Pork barrel funds, lobby funds, fat commissions, shady deals are what makes the legislative body happy. Equally, the judiciary has their share of the loot. One prominent lawyer in a TV interview had said that the judiciary is 90% corrupt. In fact they are the notorious hoodlums in robe that bang the gavel in pricey court decisions. Talk about justice? Forget it. Justice favors only those who wield power, money and connections. The wickedness is extensive. It affects the entire bureaucracy where the culture of corruption is normally an inherent practice. The upper and lower sections of bureaucracy complement each other. They misrepresent their offices and positions to the detriment of the ordinary people and the entire nation. And it is very sad to note that all of these things are happening in the Philippines in a continuing trend. The past and present leaders have the same motivations in running the country: to enrich and to get dirty rich. Their aim is not really in the service of the Filipino nation but for the control of their vested interests and the continuity of servitude. They love to run the country because it is their bread and butter for their families. Being in government or in elective position is a career that makes them wealthy. They choose not to lift the nation to progress because they don't want to share luxury and comfort with the poor majority. In the end, the majority suffers with no obvious end in sight. Grin and bear it? Aye!
