Corruption

Our dear statesmen want to fight corruption in this country.  I say, "Good luck!"  I don't know if anyone has noticed, but corruption runs much deeper than it looks.  This "fight" goes beyond jailing corrupt politicians or hunting plunderers.  Corruption is an insidious virus that has infected Filipino society!  We have become a nation of incompetents, malcontents and indifferent people.  Case in point:  Policemen losing evidence?  Give me a break!  If police were trained properly, they would be out there ready, able and willing to serve.  Instead, we see "kotong cops" and cops shooting people because of some petty quarrel.  Add to this the fact that cops (and public school teachers) are some of the worst-paid jobs in the country today.  Talk about a recipe for disaster!  I shudder to think that people who are supposed to protect and educate us have among the lowest morale among public servants.  YOU CAN'T SERVE IF YOU'RE NOT MOTIVATED TO SERVE!  Someone had better do something quickly because right now I don't know who's scarier:  criminals or cops.
