Corruption is something Filipino politicos are created for. “Just imagine the number of hospitals, health centers, schools, libraries, roads, bridges and irrigation systems that could be put up if anomalies involving public funds could be prevented through the FOI. Consider, too, the benefits that will be enjoyed by public school teachers, government doctors, nurses and other public servants—undoubtedly overworked but underpaid—if billions of pesos were spent for their salaries and other reasonable perks instead of being diverted to the pockets of unscrupulous government officials, such as the most ‘honorable’ members of Congress. Xxx. With the ease corrupt politicians are able to accumulate wealth through the graft and corruption, it’s no wonder they prefer, nay, work for, the nonpassage of the FOI bill. And the scheming lawmakers are employing all means—such as by proposing Charter change and filing a divorce bill—to divert the attention of the people from the urgent need to enact the FOI bill into law.” Eusebio S. San Diego, Inquirer, 7/25/13
