MERGED: Philippine Political Parties

**n`gel** · 07-19-2005, 11:02 AM

I know an ex-mayor, youngest in his time, who once had a pure heart and dedication, leadership, and love for his people, stained very soon in his political career because he lost against his opponent who cheated... vote buying. The very first gesture of corruption in our government... then he learned to do the same, becoming one of them, then learned so much more.

He runs for elections even he knows he can't win so only he can collect sacks of money from his party. Budget na na daan. So.. he gives out 2 sacks and keeps 1 for him. Milyon na!

One thing I know... every party has their own strategy. In this times, these strategies are forth becoming corrupt and corrupt each election. Everybody's blackmailing everybody basta lang modaug. And... tuo pa gihapon ta? Damn.... it's tooo obvious.... walay limpyo ana nila tanan. Isig dautay ra na sila. When will this ever gonna end? Erap and every other politician is no better than Gloria.

Disillusionent is the word.

Sayang.

For a minute there, you got my attention, but your last sentence seems so subjective.

**n`gel** · 07-19-2005, 08:29 PM

Subjective it is if you may call it. Ain't it true? Name one government official who did not VOTE BUY during election.

Subjectively Right and Subjectively Wrong. THere are those who do have "corrupt" motives and there are those who doesn't have .... Don't ask me who the parties are, that I don't know. But somehow I think the formulation would lead such to it!

m with n' gel.Â* cla tanan gigutom ug power ug kwarta.Â* i dnt think naa pa mapili.Â* there maybe some1 who is lesser ev*l among all ev*ls.Â* but none of them has the clean and clear (and only) motive of serving the public.Â* i dnt believe so!Â* to say that erap or ping (or kinsa pa?) is better than gloria or the other way around is a question. mura'g HA

? come again... ? ngano man kuno?Â* we do not know all of them in all and the same aspects we ought to know for us to clearly see the difference. or kung naa'y nakahibaw, tell us.

@ngel: very informative thread title and beginning story, but i think your last statement ruined everything. this will just become another PRO-GMA-anti-GMA thread.

It's objective.... All political parties are guilty of it.... From the CPP to Anakbayan, from Lakas to LP, etc... I know because I've been there..

Everything here in the Philippines is a mockery of those you can find in the West.

at least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of political idols...

politics here has been an art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies..

traditional politicians what a shame, that's why our country is dying kay ngano man! sigi ra man ug debate, kung naay proposal na maayo gikan sa other parties i-reject kay lain kuno. we people are the one's that put them in office so they must serve us first not themselves.
