the government really sucks!!! the coming elections in may offer nothing else but politicians agog over winning the people's votes to triumph their own ulterior motives. Democracy's distinct feature is the people's sovereign right to choose their leaders. But in the Philippines this is not the case, people are voting in exchange for money and other political favors. It's so horrible but how can we stop such cycle?

We should not lose hope for the Philippines. Even if the graft and corruption is so rampant nowadays, we should hope that we could still improve and minimize graft and corruption. We have to change the leadership which has been there since Cory Aquino grabbed the presidency from Marcos. Then GMA also grabbed the presidency from Erap. They have not shown better and what they proved is that they are worse and worst since the Philippines became a republic.
