CORRUPTION IN THE PHILIPPINES: The Filipinos are not corrupt people, some of them, most especially those in power, are just corrupt and those people in power allowed it to happen or they themselves commit corruption that it became a norm. At one time, the law says plunder of P50 million is a heinous crime and punishable by death. There are lots of them who must be put to death, but no one was ever executed. There is no will to clean up the government, only the publicity to start stopping corruption and that’s it. Those rebels long time ago were doing a good job at executing those corrupt in government, but now are considered terrorists, and some people say they are now extortionists. To stop corruption means iron hand and no one has the stomach to enforce even those laws. The laws are being used by the corrupt for extortion. Why is it that most Filipinos in those countries that do not tolerate violation of laws are law abiding Filipinos or citizens or residents in those countries?
