Serialized Corruption

Everyday, we read about various reports on how the people's coffers have been robbed "legally" by nefarious individuals. Actually, this is a mafia in government, with tentacles all over the place. If I were to graphically express the events, we would have a fat lady as an octopus with several tentacles reaching out to the house of congress, the dbm in malacanang, the malampaya funds, etcetera. then underneath her are piranhas sipping black ink, bloated with having drunk too much. 



Did we not ask for this, a truthful tale about how corruption functions? Now we have it on a daily basis on radio, on tv news, in print. We are glued to everything just so we would know how we have been duped by mga kagalang-galang na mga hudas sa ating kapaligiran.

May we come out whole from this democratic exercise, not feeling bitter but rather triumphant that finally, the wheels of justice are grinding no matter how slowly.

Come to think of it, how come the hoodlums always manage to beat the authorities? They escape very fast before the arrest orders are served. Now we must know the weak links in the DOJ as they are able to inform the suspects to escape right away from facing the truth.
