Only in the Philippines!

GHOST PATIENTS GINASTUSAN NG LOTTO

CLAP CLAP CLAP!  Kay husay talaga ng mga opisyales ng PCSO. Sa kabila ng pangakong tumulong sa mga nangangailangan, sila pa ay nagnanakaw ng pondong nakalaan sa mga mahihirap lalo na sa mga may sakit.

Halagang P300 milyon ang para sana sa maraming inidibidwal na kumakapit at umaasa sa PCSO. Totoo nga ang sabi nila, ang mayayaman ay lalo pang yumayaman, at ang mahihirap ay lalo pang humihirap. Only in the Philippine, ika nga ng mga banyaga. Sa dinami rami ng aking kaibigan mula sa iba’t ibang bansa, tuwing bumibisita sila dito, bukod sa mga popular tourist spots na masayang puntahan, malimit din namin mapag kwentuhan ang pamamalakad dito sa Pinas!  Paano nga ba?

Politika. Oposyales. Korapsyon. Siraan. Hatakan. Inggitan. Di-pagkakaunawaan. Pera. Suhol. Kanya-kanya.

Yaan. Yan ang Pilipinas. Mahusay, hindi ba?

Nakalulungkot isipin na ang mga opisyales na ito ay  mula sa mararangyang pamilya, at produkto ng mga magagandang eskuwelahan kung saan ang edukasyon ay magaling. Ngunit hindi pala kasama dito ang mahusay na paghubog sa kanilang katauhan. Sila ay mga propesyonal at mataas na uri ng tao sa lipunan na sana’y tumutulong sa mga nakakababa sa kanila. Para lamang yang kapatiran, hindi ba.

Korupsyon parin ba? Hindi na ba ito talagang maiiwasan? Pera, pera, pera. Yan na nga lang ba ang mahalaga? Sa P300 Milyon halaga na para sana sa pagpapagamot ng mga may sakit, nakuha pa nilang limasin at gamitin ang pera para sa kanilang sariling kapakanan.

Buhay ng tao ang pinag-uusapan natin dito. At tayo ay magkaka lahi, magkakapatid. Ang kaunlaran ng isa ay kaunlaran ng lahat.

Paumanhin sa ating mga kapatid na napagdamutan, nalinlang, at higit sa lahat, nasakatan.

EYES ON YOU, JUSTICE

5 ex-PCSO officials kakasuhan sa P42-B contract


I chanced upon this article about the 42-B contract signed by Manoling and friends for the thermal paper to be used on lotto tickets. As claimed by Morato, the Australian firm offers the best quality of the said product. Oh, but that is P42 BILLION… a very huge amount of money. I wonder if that was really the amount agreed upon by PCSO and TMA Group of Companies… I just wonder...

If Justice still exists in my beloved country, that would be one miracle. I have kept my eyes wide open and watched the Judicial system. The rate they take things only puts not only the both parties, but everyone who has involvement in the case in agonies. The long wait is almost intolerable.

The atrocity of those officials who signed up for the 50-year contract was abominable in its scale. Why would they sign up and take 50-years agreement? Every single one of them will be dead and still, the contract is effective, making the succeeding officials of PCSO who could have come up with a better deal no choice but just let the previous commitment finish.

I take it that our men do not trust the people of his own race that they are capable of doing this. 50 years is such a very long time and a lot can happen in those years. Possibilities are: the same quality of paper this Australian firm produces can equal to that of what we Filipinos can do. Had that contract agreed on a shorter time, the Filipinos can take over and many jobs will be open for our fellow men.

What is alarming, however, is the glacial pace of the action. But at least there were concern individuals in who are willing to handle and look over things done in the previous administration. Even the present chairperson, Margie Juico, and her board members, are cooperating.

There are a lot of voices that sounded lack of faith as to whether the trial will be concluded.

Concurrently, I hear inquiries about how such bad event as this happened, followed by an eerie question if this situation would repeat itself with the previous administration. I hope not.

Clearly, the Judicial system should act on this the soonest time possible, and PLEASE NO SHORT CUTS!

All I can say is that: The world is closely checking out and waiting to see whether justice would be done.
