COMMENTARY:

When will the good hearted people and agencies get tired and stop giving relief to the Filipino people? These assistance and aid are sometimes the source of corruption for some people.
How long will the Philippine government keeps asking for relief only to be corrupted by some government official who does not care if the Filipino people go hungry?
How long will the Philippine government keep giving the Filipino people free rice and continue spoiling the people to rely on the government?
How long will the Filipino people learn and realize that it won’t be long there will be famine?
When will the Filipino people learn more to be self reliant rather then relying so much from the government?
The Filipino people are intelligent people but if there are more Filipinos who are intelligent in corruption, then the Filipinos will surely go to hell. And to quote what President Quezon Said, “I’d rather see the Filipinos run the Philippines like hell than the American like heaven.” (I hope I quoted it right) Quezon is very correct. The Filipinos are running the Philippines like hell and the Filipinos got what they want but it’s the people that are suffering without realizing how their leaders are running the government, some maybe aware but they just ignore it.
There are honest to goodness government employees who are really sincere in helping and doing something for the people but they are over powered by their corrupt co-workers and superiors who’d rather protect and help the corrupt than the honest.
There are also volunteers of non-government organizations who are sacrificing their time, energy, money for the benefit and betterment of everyone because they know and they have felt, seen, experienced the true hardship of life but some government agencies and politicians won’t bother to help and assist them because they know that they can not be corrupted so, they’d rather help and assist known NGOs that are corrupt.
If the funding agencies are also sincere in helping do something for the benefit and betterment of everyone, then they should really try hard and check these honest to goodness NGOs and work closely with them but if there are also corrupt in these funding agencies then I think it won’t work.
The Millennium Development Goal to end poverty by 2015 is very vague but at least there is a goal and I disagree with spending millions of dollars on rallies to end poverty. What is gained anyway after the rallies? Why don’t they just use the money for livelihood for the poor so it will at least uplift their lives. I think these rallies are organized by some people to make money and deceiving innocent people to do something good for poverty. Let’s wake up and really look around. POVERTY IS GETTING WORSE.
