1. The non stop rain brought by Habagat resulting to great flood (again!) and
2. The pork barrel scam.
The first news makes me sad. But the second one? It makes me angry! It makes me sick to my stomach that there are people who can do that. While those affected by flood are struggling to survive, there they are with their scheming lies. Their greediness is disgusting that I am losing faith in the power of government. At this point I trust no one. Not even the president. It's just too much!
My puso ba sila? Tuwing gabi bago sila matulog, ano ang pakiramdam nila? Knowing that thousand of Filipinos are suffering, dying in hunger, fading away with poverty. I just want to know what do their conscience tells them everytime they embezzle millions of money. Is one million not enough? Two? Hundred? The news said the amount is billion. And if Benhur Luy didn't expose it, they will become trillioners. To them, its just numbers. But to the poorest of poor, that money could have been their life line. Where is their honor? Where is their integrity?
They say money is the root of all evil. But I don't agree with that. Money can help a lot of people. It can build road that connects people. It can give education to every kid. It can build factories and create jobs to million. It can make our quality of living better. Money can be an instrument of helping the people who needs it the most. It's the greed of those in power whose the root of all evil. Abolishing pork barrel may solve the corruption, maybe. But they'll just make another name for it (beef barrel?) and some f*ckin' smart officials will think of other plot to steal money. What must be abolish is their rotten ways. They must be punish! Everyone of them.

How many corruption has not yet been expose? And how many times would the Filipinos be deceived? Presidents, chief of justice, now senators and congressmen - different scheming but it is always the same old story. They get to be a millionaire while millions are living in misery. What else is new?
Something got to change. The system, their selfish ways, the law, everything! They want war? Then let's give them war! GO People Power!
