Good analysis on how the patron-client system is inherently corrupt. - Forced to fall in line and to return several times for the chance to prostrate themselves before politicians, the masses are morally degraded, reduced to mendicants begging for alms from their patrons—rather than as autonomous citizens with inalienable rights to education, healthcare and other services. Legislators, for their part, are elevated as beneficent lords rather than as mere representatives of their constituencies—even as they themselves are reduced to supplicants before the President. - By Herbert Docena - Philippine Daily Inquirer - opinion.inquirer.net/63619/fight-vs-pork-is-fight-for-democracy-dignity#ixzz2i9G4Upzk
