instead of saying negative… bakit hindi natin tanungin sarili natin… tayo ba naging tapat? we can’t solve it by blaming other people. we must cultivate the virtue of honesty and love first to ourselves…

Duh? sa Cebu walang corruption? wag ka ngang magbulag bulagan. Cebu is still part of the Philippines kaya imposibleng walang anomalya jan! even in the US Government may corruption pero hindi pwedeng ihambing sa status ng Pinas sa larangang yon. solution? medyo imposible pero kung meron lang tayong TOUGH, DETERMINED, VISIONARY LEADER eh pwede pa! Sa mga hindi sarado ang isip eto mga reasons kung bakit di naunlad ang Pinas
1. Politics – vested interest vs national good
2. Uncontrolled population growth
3. Very WEAK educational system
4. CORRUPTION!!!
5. Inadequate infrastructure
6. An agriculture system that hasn’t improved in 36 years 7. An inadequate focus on job creation
8. A JUDICIARY in need of major improvement 9. Security 10. Good Governance.
guess what kung ano ang pang 11? OK the answer is Catholic Church (which is true!)let me site an example, the Church is against in artificial birth control (they want it in natural way, ang tanong kaya ba ng matitikas na pinoy ang magtiis ?)we can’t compare our status in population with China, bakit? Our Government is not stable as China, isa pa hindi sinlaki ng bansa natin ang China at di rin kasing dami ng resources ng China. in Politics, ang mga Pulitiko natin mas priority ang pansariling kapakanan kesa kapakanan ng BAYAN! Corruption, sobrang corrupt ng mga Pulitikong Pinoy mismo ngang pinakamababang sangay ng pamahalaan which is Barangay eh kumikickback sa pondo nito na di naman kalakihan. Kung ang 11 issue na ito mula nung umupo si PGMA noong 2002 eh binigyan ng kaukulang pansin gumanda at umayos na sana ang Economy ng Pinas. bigyan natin ng pansin ang Justice System ng Pinas, ang Supreme Court natin hawak sa leeg ng Malakanang.(tama o mali?) kung pati Supreme Court eh di na natin mapagkakatiwalaan at maasahan kanino at saan pa tayo magtitiwala o sasandal para sa katotohanan at katarungan?! Gaya nga ng sabi ko ang kaylangan natin ay isang TOUGH, DETERMINED, VISIONARY LEADER para umusad at magka direksiyon ang Pinas, ang problema meron ba tayong ganitong Leader? ngayon sa palagay nyo may pag-asa pa ba ang Pinas?
September 21st, 2008 at 4:43 pm
I agree with clem. we should ask ourselves if we are also a part of the corruption. look not int o the big domain which is the economical standing but look into the smaller hole which is the lifestyle and habits promulgated to corruption. if we have cheated ourselves or others once, then we are corrupt ourselves. Its not always PGMA’s fault nor the other politicians, remember that sayng, “the fall of the tower is also in the screw”, we could be the root cause of corruption.
Im not professional. Im too young to say this things, but mind you, thi s15 y/o guy here is not play fools.

to kim_tagorda.ur wrong dude learn to examine other countreis and try to analize how do they developed within a span of time.example is korea,they are like phil before in terms of economy,but with intenfied proj of gov on education and agriculture they made themselves develop not much relying on foreigh investors and now they dont even need to learn other language.dude our government relies on human sacrifies and slavery.our focus on reinforcement should be on developing our resources.phil is a big country. very weak tayo pre and corrupt pa!!!

There’s still hope… Simulan natin ang pagbabago sa ating mga sarili. Malay natin, mag-radiate at maka-infect tayo ng mga taong uupo sa gobyerno. Kung wala pa ring mangyayari, wag na nating problemahin. Ok nga yun di masyadong magsisikip ang langit. Lord, ikaw na po ang bahala sa mga magnanakaw ha?
May 6th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
to everybody. sana umayos na ang gobyerno natin at tulungan tayo ni lord na hampasin sa ulo ung mga opisyales na gumagawa ng mga katiwalaan at para naman sa ating mga pilipino sana mgisip kaung mabuti bago kayo magparami nag bata. sabi nag nsa Dyos ang awa nas tao ang gawa.bkit ang ibang bansa nagagaw nilang maging maayos at maganda ang kanilang bansa dahil ang iniisip nila ang kapakanan ng bqawat isa di katulad dito kapakanan kung paano makakakurakot at makakaloko wla na sigurong konsensiya at puso. di ble.pa namatay naman tayo di nAin madadala yan sana wag na tayong PASAWAY
June 1st, 2009 at 9:04 am
Indeed all of the comment here are reasonable, for its comes from you guys. But the real problem is not the government itself but, the citizen and the people of this corrupt country. (Pinoy ako!) As we all know, we are the one who tolerate this corrupt official to do such things. No need for me to enuciate and elaborate on how we tolerate this scum officials, for we are aware of thier actions and practices. Alam mo na! Pera na eh! Yes, we have various natural resources such as lands, marines, and man power to name it. But, we, ourselves do not take this valuable sources that we have and be a good stewards to it. Yun lang po!

Sad, sad, sad. Very Sad.
It is us the Pilipino people who deserve to be blame.
Please, Tulongan nyo nama kming mahihirap. I’m a college student. But sad to say, I can’t pursue and finish my studies in college. Due to financially incapacity to sustain my tuition and other expences. kahit pagkain sa bahay wla na na naghihirap na. kaya, this coming school year indi na ako naka pgenroll. maraming bayaran at mga ballances pa kc ako sa skull. I do not say this words in order for the reader to feel pity on me. But all I want is to share my suffering and hardship towards life here in philippines.
Dear Sir/Ma’am Officials!
Please help us!
Just be honest and we will be okey.
Do this for your self, for your own sake, be Honest!
Help us!
Sincerely Yours

d mo rin naman masisi ang ibang tao na dinadaan na lang sa biro ang mga balitang ganyan. parte ng grieving process yan. DABDA. DENIAL. Ang masasabi ko lng d matatanggal ang corruption sa isang araw o kahit isang buong taon lng, at mas lalong d matatanggal sa puro salita lang. Kaya dapat matuloy election! Tingnan natin kung tumalino na ang taong bayan dahil sa election mo makikita sa sarili mo kung pati ikaw eh ‘kurapt’ na rin *ehem* (you know what I mean, part of the solution or part of the problem ‘ika nga.)!

kaya tayo corrupt
kasi hindi natin iniintindi ang mga nangyayari sa paligid natin.
kita nyo,
ang pinag-uusapan dito e
ang pagiging corrupt
ng ating bansa, pero ang pinagtatalunan nyo eh ang mga networks dito satin.
mag-isip na nga kayo mga pinoy!
August 23rd, 2009 at 10:21 pm
para sa akin,ang mga tao ang kurakot..
hindi naman siguro magbibigay ng pera ang mga pulitiko kung hindi tatanggapin ng mga tao…
pero nasa sistema na natin yang CORRUPTION…
matagal pa o baka hindi na siguro makaka-ahon ang pilipinas dito..
katulad sa ozamiz,ang mga opisyales ang nasa likod ng malaking bintahan ng druga..
nakakaasar.. kaya hindi mahulili ang nagbebenta,dahil nagtatago sa likod ng mga opisyales…

Madaling manisi pero the truth is before this people in power became what they are right now they are ordinary citizens like us. They came from us, so they reflect what the majority of the citizens living in this country right now. Wag nang mag malinis, gising na Pinoy magbago kana.
December 14th, 2009 at 11:48 pm
we cant blame any one why our country belongs or one of the most corrupted country.tayo mismo ang makagawa ng paraan para hindi na lumala ng kurapyon sa ating bansa.with GOD helps at tayo mismo magtotolungan sigurado akong makaahon pa ang bayan natin mga mamayanang pilipino.
