I think our men in uniform today has boosted moral. The revelations of corruption in the AFP is a kind of purification and they're going through it with boosted moral. This will enable those in lower rank to shout out their grievances and be heard at last without having fear of getting axed from the service. Some people argue that the men in uniform are not happy about the tales of corruption and it's damaging the moral of the whole system . What do you think?

If there are people who have more reasons to celebrate, it is the men in uniform, particularly the rank and file. The AFP is being shaken by scandals left and right but those involved are on the top level. If something good will come out from those scandals, the people who will benefit from it are the small ones. But that remains a big if since the battle has just started and I don't think people like Angelo Reyes will go down without giving a fight and without bringing down his cohorts with him. It's too early to celebrate given our flawed justice system. So let's wait and see.

I thought the recent revelations have brought the morale down of the AFP. Learning that your generals, people who have been sending you to the battlefields, have been living a luxurious life at your expense is not a morale booster for me. The AFP had always had a way of airing grievances - we have witnessed numerous coup attempts all to this end. A few people coming out to expose corruption is nothing new. I am not in the AFP but personally that made me really feel bad.

Kudos to them. The afp not including their selfish generals of course that had made this org a iking cow... I am hopeful that havong this exposed to the country all will be in their backs to watch closely and to make sure all gets what is only due to them all no more no less. I wish. That oue country starts the healing and rejuvinating process now so we can all be renewed and start working to make life better for all filipinos.

At the present situation like yesterday "pulse of the masses" said Pnoy slogan during his victory was "your are my boss" - but people said you (pnoy) still a boss we (masses) are beggars (busabos), so Pnoy should make an action not for words only but to push such investigation about generals... see you around

Yes, I believe the "common tao" as the victims of this corruption and malfunctions in the government. The " common tao " being abused and taken granted by these political leaders. The same "common tao" who has the power to put a stop on this but until when? I don't think there will be another Bonifacio among us! So hopeless!

It should be like that Edna, but at present you can tell them to do and shout what their grievances because still in the middle of the bridge meaning there is no yet clear indication that such expose will stand firm or not. You know money do anything in our government. But I hope some are shoutout now so that the presure will more and more to push the authority... see you around

Confused. Do you mean "morals" or "morale"?
