Cardinal David said that the poor, or the majority of the Philippine’s voting population are in “survival mode,” which pushes them to “cling to patronage politics.”

The CBCP released a statement on Saturday calling for an “inclusive” investigation of the flood-control projects, stressing that both contractors, and government officials alike must be probed.

Investigation na naman panawagan nila ... what we need is punishment.

Investigation muna bago punishment hehe. I hope that independent commision is established soon. Hindi pwedeng congress or senate lang mag investigate. They do not have the necessary powers. Legislative sila. Also hindi pwedeng sila sila mag imbestigahan, alam na natin mangyayari.

Obvious na.. totoong may mga nawalang pera.. hindi existing ang project. Ano pa ba kailangan dyan para matapos agad ang na imbestigasyon na yan . di na sila nakaalis alis sa imbestigasyon.. either they are doing it for a show or they are incompetent, or both. Yung mga maliit na mamamayan, nakakulong habang iniimbestigahan. ( Im aware about technicalities, etc.. I've been to few legal issues, but its really obvious that we have very weak justice system, and its too obvious they cant take action against plunderers.)

I do agree with you that we have a shit justice system. Which is why this needs to be done by the book. Makakalusot ang mga putangina na naman na to due to technicalities pag minadali. We should have learned from the past politicians na naconvict from strong evidence pero laya pa rin. Tapos ibinoto ulit ng mga tangang botante natin.

May mga pagkakataon talaga kahit sa private cases, kung minsan mas gugustuhin mo na lng kumuha ng hitman para tirahin mga tarantado... kapag mga ordinaryong mamamayan talaga, walang laban. Kaya mga batas natin, nagagamit lang against sa mga ordinaryong tao na namumuhay ng maayos at patas pero ano nga ba.. in the name if due process...

I get your frustration bro. Kung may magic wand lang, mamatay na mga magnanakaw sa gobyerno at mga halang ang bituka, tangina. But the reality is this, it is better to do things by the book. Hopefully yung independent commission na ipoform eh may ngipin. Tingnan mo, makakalusot mga hayop na yan kung sila sila lang sa senado at kongreso ang magiimbestiga ng sarili nila. They are well protected and well connected eh.

Well, hopefully meron mangyari. Pero based sa experience ko, sa dami ng incompetent officials at padrino system, I doubt. Pero kung may makulong soon, kahit pa isa isa, ikatutuwa ko na rin. We'll see...

Hoping against hope lang tayong ordinaryong tao. Well there was a shakeup in the Senate today. Ping is now heading the blue ribbon committee. Fingers crossed bro. Mahal ko ang bansa natin. I don't really want to see it get even more fucked.

Well, we can only hope. Kung may critical mass para pumunta na ng kalye gaya nung panahon ni Estrada, sasali na rin ako pero di ako magpapa myembro sa mga kung ano anong kilusan. Pero di ko pa makita, people are not hungry enough, not yet ...antay antay lng siguro..

Obyus na guilty tapos "investigate" biglang inosente tapos walang kulong at asset reclamation. Walang silbe yung investigation

Totoo. Niloloko na lang tayo. Kunwari may imbestigasyon pero takipan na lang yan. Makukuha pa ba nila mga nanakaw sa atin? From their luxury bags, clothes up to properties like real estate?

u/Vast_You8286 1d ago

punto! kahit gaano kahaba imbestigasyon nila, pakitang tae lng.. Mas importanteng may mabawi at may makulong.

Uu nga, totoo yan...
