Public Funds

This country is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Public funds being used for personal gains. Government vehicles being used to pick up school children. Development funds used to buy private homes and not used to build public roads. Tip of the tip of the iceberg really. Sigh.

Something not to be proud of and definitely a LOT of cleaning to be done by the new president.

big house

Hidden among mountains and hills is this super big house of a politician who has been in the office for a looong time but has passed only one bill. One bill and he won again. I didn’t vote for him, not then, and not now.

This home has been featured in the with footage taken from a chopper.

And this guy has a seat in one of the more respected arm in the government that has become his sitting duck once again and resource of unlimited public funds.

I’m sure the interior asset won’t be available for the viewing of the public as well. :P

This is sad when the public purse is used for private gain! Hopefully this selfish season will pass soon for your country!

It’s a shame that some people reap riches in expense of other people.

Such a terrible waste of money, and public money, to boot!

We are lucky that, in Canada, this doesn’t happen very often when it does, they are caught quickly. Still, we have politicians voted in repeatedly in places where people vote not for the person but for the party.

That is why ang daming mag run as a politician kahit na walang alam, kung meron man naku ginamit ang kaalaman to know how to corrupt!! Grrr. And laki nga nang bahay ano?? At maresearch ko nga kung sino ito. The people also has somewhat to blame why they vote for him and for the second time huh!!
