A Far-fetched Possibility

f what I’m hearing has the bearing of regularity, and it seemed is, the administration’s dream to end corruption is a far-fetched possibility. The extent of corruption is so intractable, so profoundly embedded in the system and structure in government transactions – small and big regardless, there is no way will mere rhetoric ever break the shackles of graft so intractably chained to personalities in government positions.

There’s no way that President Duterte in his commanding pomposity will uproot a profoundly fixed and ingrained practice within his walls and offices. Not so until a supernatural intervention from a higher dimension takes place. Even in his recent televised address, Digong had to finally admit the impossibility, if not utter futility, of his efforts in trying to have a country that is pristine and free of corruption. Nay. Not in his watch.


Growing List

In my book, the list of corrupt and fraudulent offices of government continues to increase. Public speculations need not credible backings and proof to bolster such claims. Suffice are the services, facilities, infrastructures, and programs being delivered by agencies and units of government. If they meet public approval and people are satisfied, then issues of corruption shall be an unheard concern. If they don’t, then it remains an issue, a troubling and certainly decapitating one.

And by the way, while corruption and fraud in government halls have certainly enriched government managers and officials, politicians, contractors, businessmen, and suppliers, the public has been decapitated over a long period of time now. Decapitated in the sense that they have been for long deprived access to attain and achieve a good life as if it’s a matter of privilege and not an inherent human right. Or is it?


Watch out

To expose maybe a few of these shenanigans in my own little capacity, and hopefully articulate them straight and without fear, is certainly not an easy and pleasant undertaking. But my sources have barking claims and I am almost at a loss as to how to address the overwhelming allegations being presented. I am appalled at the seeming regularity of the practice, albeit clandestine, is altogether serious and consequential to public interest.


Tatag-usahon ta nga panginano ngan pagbantay hini nga mga government agencies: DPWH, MGB, NHA, PIA, DENR, EMB, etc…, Watch out!
