If there is something about the previous GM Arroyo presidency, it is that she was successful
in projecting a false image of the extent of corruption at the top of the executive branch. With documented proof that even bishops have been seduced by money to buy luxurious vehicles, and handling windfall ad placements to some favored friends and of generals being generously rewarded for their loyalties (only Gen. Angelo Reyes made the supreme acknowledgment of corruption), it is now clear that the presidential regime of former Pres. GM Arroyo was one one of the most corrupt, perhaps next to the corruption under the Marcos regime.
We want more details about the fertilizer scam, the ZTE scandals, what was she doing in a hotel in China with a contract? Hopefully we shall know the full extent of her corruption. Now out of power but still powerful with friends and allies in Congress and senate, it is refreshing that the public is exposed now to the details of the mediocre and corrupt presidency of Madame Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
So unlike the father, sigh....
I am not surprised. How disgusting it is that the Philippines still cannot lift itself from the bowels of corruption.
ReplyDeleteIt, the Philippines as you might put it, does not wish to "lift itself from the bowels of corruption" because many in government are having too much fun swimming in it...in all reality, the Spanish have never left the country, for the Spanish remains by a 300 year plague called influence. People also have become too passive which is a word I hear the most from the Filipinos themselves.
