Total change in the government system, a true solution of this country

[peewee_toot]

The Philippine government is just too inefficient. Whatever the system is, there are just too many officials doing nothing.

Just combine the legislative districts. Cut the number of congressmen by 75%, retain only 25%. Our provinces are too small. Just change our regions to "provinces" instead and reduce the number of governors and other provincial officials. Di ba millions na ang na-save ani?

The Philippines is smaller than California. We have 80 provinces + NCR and we're always creating more provinces, making government even more inefficient and paying for more government officials who just collect their salaries without doing much. The US only has 50 states + DC. China only has 33 main political divisions (provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, SARs). Indonesia has 33 provinces. We have way too many at 80 provinces + NCR!

hahaiz... mao ni ang reason why ala jd ta mo asenso...

IMHO, if we really want our country to change, I think we should start in ourselves.

If the same breed of rotten officials will govern on our country, then it will be the same story of having less provinces. How about giving a right to the Filipino people to sue those politicians who does not contribute anything for good? I suggests that we should have a law with regards on this. Let us see on the outcome.

I agree with this statement and would add that this fractured bureaucracy of micro-management is not only inefficient, it is in fact an antiquated method of civil control dating back to the Spanish colonizers. Simple diversion tactics to keep the people busy arguing amongst themselves and to lessen perceived liability of the true rulers.

Total change in the government system - i don't agree.
Total change of corrupt officials to uncorrupt one - i agree

i already did that and the rest are NOT cooperating! Seriously i think federalism could work for an archipelgo if and only if we are ready

[emow]

wishful thinking lang:
have u ever heard what the ancient Athenians did to promote progress and avoid degradation in their society? They have an annual festival where each citizen will write a name they want to ostracize from their society. They will put it in a jar called "ostrakar" (i think) and then they will count the number of votes. The name with the highest votes will be ostracize for 10 years.

LOL... This is already happening. It is only when the monarch passes away that the heir can take over. So when Cory passed away, it was the only time when Filipinos realized that Noynoy can take over. Mura jud ug monarch. Further more, there are people who think that Noynoy is Santino who can only do good. Fairy tale jud kaayo!
