I think corruption in politics is widespread even in the so called "developed nations". A candidate for the Green Party once told me that "politics corrupts". It might be more rampant in poorer countries because most people are disenfranchised. They are fearful to fight for their rights because they might get killed, lose their jobs, or incarcerated. But until the people choose to fight for their rights corruption in the government continues.Melanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997428.post-44426526067958851942010-08-12T14:04:32.518+08:002010-08-12T14:04:32.518+08:00Kat/Ralph Thank you.

For the reason that is inexplicable, people who are trying to be honorable are the ones suffering from criticisms and punishments. Between Romulo Neri, and Jon Lozada in the ZTE controversy, the former was given an honorable position as the head of SSS while the latter is busy attending to his court cases and continue live a miserable life.<br /><br />This also happens in the micro level of the present Filipino society. In social gatherings, those who came late are enjoying the graceful entrance and all eyes are on them. These eyes are the ones who came right on time or even earlier. In schools, students who are giving wrong and funny answers during recitations are admired as "cool" and "entertaining" so they become popular. On the other hand, students who recite intelligently and courteously are labelled as "nerds" and so they become notorious.<br /><br />Distortion of moral values is not exclusively imputable to the people<br />in the government. It starts from every Filipino. And it is happening just right beside us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997428.post-77893675029211659212010-08-12T09:57:41.899+08:002010-08-12T09:57:41.899+08:00very nice article Sir Rolly.. sooo true.. - Katvery nice article Sir Rolly.. sooo true.. - KatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997428.post-74041433827305271452010-08-12T07:48:42.384+08:002010-08-12T07:48:42.384+08:00blogusvox I did not see the Bello privilege speec...<b>blogusvox</b> I did not see the Bello privilege speech so I cannot comment on that pero ganun ata talaga yun.
