Question

To all the concerned people in the world, how can we solve the political catastrophy in the philippines?

Answer 1

I am an American citizen living in the Philippines.

Until the people of the Philippines decide en masse that enough is enough, nothing will ever be accomplished.  As long as the poor masses refuse to take any concrete action, nothing will change.

Change has to start at the bottom, not at the top.  As long as traffic enforcers can supplement their incomes with "roadside ticket settlements" without any real risk, things won't change.  As long as local mayors have the power to extort money from businesses, things won't change.

As long as government agencies permit their employees to take under the table settlements, things won't change.  As long as voters continue to allow officials to tamper with ballot boxes, buy votes, and keep electing the same idiots to power, things won't change.

This country has a court system that is broken.  Judges refuse transfers to Manila, because they are making too much money in the provinces.  Same goes for police captains.  The court system is a joke.  Civil cases can take a lifetime to complete the cycle from hearings to appeals to the SC.  Criminal cases can languish forever, with cops in certain jurisdictions being able to push cases forward with little to no real evidence, or with doctored or phony evidence.  Civil rights in certain areas (mostly provincial) are at the whim of the criminals who employ the law enforcers.

Several mayors in Metro Manila don't want to take part in a centralized, computer-backed traffic ticketing system.  Why is this?  I think it is because these particular mayors must be getting a piece of the action from their local fines.  I'm not making any accusations, but I can't see why they would not want to participate in a system that would make ticket fine collections easier and more efficient.

Remember the story about the "enforcement" actions in Angeles City a couple of months ago?  Some rogue police leader, under the guise of "cleaning up prostitution" thought it would be a good idea to raid some bars who refused to pay increased fees (extortion money).  I won't name names, because I care about my safety, but you can do a search and read some of the accounts yourself.  

This one action made headlines in Australia, and several hotels reported cancellations over the next few weeks.  Right now, even though we are in the prime tourist season, sales are down, because we have a lower-than-average tourism, due largely to the news reports from this one police action.  If the goal is to clean-up prostitution, why not start with all of the Pinoy bars in Metro Manila?  At least in AC, the girls are licensed, get a pap smear every week, and generate a tax base.  Close the bars, and the girls will work the street with no health checks and disease will run rampant.  So much for trying to curb STDs!

If all the bars close down, thousands of girls will lose their jobs, and many provincial families will lose their only source of income.  Hundreds of trike and Jeepney drivers will go broke, SM Mall will go under, and the rest of the town will quickly follow.  All this because the new police gang wanted to supplement their incomes.  I'm told they have been "reassigned" to another region.

One nice piece of reading is the PAGCOR annual budget.  I won't give you the amount, but look to see how much of the money raised for "social benefit" by PAGCOR is allocated to the use of the President for "entertainment" purposes.  It is quite a lot, in my opinion.

Of course, one need look only at the myriad scandals involving several once-respected leaders at the highest levels of government to see that the problem does extend much beyond the local level.  Part of the problem is that if PGMA goes, who takes her place?  Wasn't she the one who promised to clean-up corruption?  Then again, she also released ERAP after six years of investigation and trials, while restoring his COMPLETE CIVIL RIGHTS.  Go figure!

Anyway, the way to solve this is to find 10,000 people to replace the current cast of idiots in office.  They have to be beyond reproach, not motivated by money, and financially secure.  Unfortunately, I don't think the Philippines has that many people who meet these qualifications.

I could run the country, since I don't need the money, but I'm not qualified as a non-citizen.  I would be willing to offer myself as a consultant, if I could stay behind the scenes, and out of the public limelight.  I have this funny preference for survival.

I hope the Philippines can find a way to solve these problems.  This is a beautiful country with (mostly) nice, genuine, and gracious people.  Even the majority of the poor would invite you into their home if you were hungry, and give you a roof over your head in the rain.  

Like most democratic countries, the citizens elect their fair share of idiots to run the place.  Maybe moreso.  I can't claim higher ground as an American, because the three stooges we have running for President aren't a much better choice.  McCain is the only one who won't bankrupt the country, but he is too unpredictable to offer much comfort.

I wish the Philippines the best of luck in solving this national problem.  After all, I live here, and am affected as well.

Answer 3

This is something that the Filipinos have to solve themselves.  They have to be responsible for their own actions and not depend on others.

Answer 4

Sorry Sonny

Here in the US we have our own problems with our politician not listening us, how are we going to get the politicians in the Philippines to listen to us?  The only hope any one has for they're country to become a great and powerful country with the welfare of the people at the top of they're agendas  is to run for office and correct the wrongs and fix the problems them selves because the crooks or crooked politicians will never do it, they have to much to loose.

Putting a politician with honorable intentions in office  is a start, but it is hard when they never stay loyal or uncorrupted for long either, way to many of them get caught up in the game of politics.  s*x is the biggest problems facing our politicians, not the moneys from the lobbyist, but the s*x that comes with young good looking and ambitious interns.  If we could get our politicians to for go the temptations and to stay true to their commitments to the people we would not have so many problems and possibly even be able to work with others from different countries and cultures in an attempt to achieve world peace and financial stability....

Take care and Keep the Faith....PEACE....cya....
