My wife works in a government institution helping people with their needs. One project of our local government is to provide cheap homes for the servicemen like my wife who works for them. At one point, it seems good that this government still thinks for their workers.
But then, another thing rose, at about the time it was conceptualized, engineers and department heads are already spinning their heads for better place in the area. Then it happened, some are ordered to pay 500 pesos 5 year amortization for a 120 square meter lot while others are paying 480 for the same space. What could spell the difference? When asked, the engineering office simply says that those paying 500 have locations better than those paying 480. Well, this sounds ok, but not in the true sense. Why? It is because location was not chosen but drawn. Should this be acceptable reason???
This was not yet the problem. Because of the draw lots, heads of departments came to a place that was near a creek. It was a sloping pieces of land, off course, it wont be good for them to own such a place. Planners then, decided that the plan of the whole subdivided lots be turned upside down so that those placed at the front will now be placed at the back where the sloping land was. How rude! Employees will not dose with sentiments if they haven't change the plans. It was showed to them, the original plan, then, drawn their lots, and now, suddenly, changed the plans to what should suit them. Is it not horrible how these people is using the government to step ahead further than other people? How rude? How could they do this to people in their own ranks? Such a horrible thing to think that this is one of the classic examples of graft and corrupt practices that leads to a much bigger, more horrible transactions happening in the national government. This is how sick our system is. And we, ourselves could no longer take any cure. A sick and dangerous system of governance and society. I do hope that it die and never to be revived again.
