NAPOLES SCAM...A must read...

OT: 7 million for flagpole replacement? http://instagram.com/p/df8ddUFTTF/

  The next best thing in my opinion after the protest march is to continue the shame campaign for all involved officials by posting articles on all kind of media sites. Keep the issue alive with new information.

  You see their calm demeanor on tv may seem like they are unaffected by all of this but behind the scenes the shame brought about by public scrutiny of their incredible greed among their family and peers are like boiler pressure inside their homes.

  I remembered after the ramgen revilla scandal died down there was a brief interview of Genalyn Magsaysay-Revilla (mother) on enrolling for her children bec they refuse to enroll or go to school due to shame of the controversy.  We want this to happen to all those who are involve that their family and friends are the one to create pressure for these officials to resign or break down.

  Don't let the shame campaign die down until they are kicked out of office.

regarding Binay, I am not pro or anti Binay at siguro nga due to corruption kaya nakuha niya yung wealth niya. pero kahit ganun pa man, mahal ng mga taga makati ang pamilya nila. why? kasi naman talaga nakita mo ang progress ng makati simula nung maging Mayor siya. And nung sinabi niya na his main priority was heath and education, tinotoo niya naman talaga. makati ang nagsimula na city na ultimo sapatos, school uniform, bag, pe uniform, quarterly supplies of school supplies ay libre. our health centers also gave complete vaccines sa mga bata and when i was a nursing student pa and was assigned to different health centers around the metro, makikita mo talaga yung pagkakaiba ng mga heath centers nila from makati not just the facility itself but the vaccines, meds na they give ng libre to the people of makati. i was also a nursing scholar in university of makati and even the payment for the review center was shouldered by the government. there was even a time nung highschool ako na we had a open forum with him because he wants to know ano pa bang kulang etc. and in a month, yung mga sinabi namin, pinatupad niya agad.

all i am saying guys, corruption talaga ay hindi nawawala sa bawat politiko. pero may ibang politiko na makapal talaga ang mukha na walang ginagawa sa nasasakupan nila kundi puro corruption lang. meron naman na corrupt din like Binay pero ramdam mo naman na aside from being a corrupt politician eh may nagagawa naman. si napoles, hindi siya politician pero billiones ang nakuha niya sa atin at wala ka man lang maririnig na nagawa niyang maganda.

^^that's true sis, mahirap talaga mawala ang corruption, it may take a very long time. Our govt is terminally stricken with it. Pero if I were to choose, pipiliin ko pa din yung kahit corrupt (well, not naman sobrang gahaman ok?) pero MARAMI namang nagagawa, naiimpelement na projects, na marami ring nagbebenefit. Kesa naman sa super clean slate, kasi WALANG NAGAWA EVER (o, apsintabi sa mga fans, alam nyo na kung sino ito lol!). Kaya despite the implied corruption nun time ni GMA, sa dami ng projects nya na nagbenefit ang mga tao, di mo rin sya pwedeng idis-credit sa 'good' na nagawa nya. Unlike someone we know, na tuwid kuno, eh yung pala baluktot naman talaga, and much worst in terms of corruption

anyways, pero di na OT, nabasa ko sabi raw ng mga jailed robbers, bakit di raw nila kasama si napoles? How sad. If someone who stole BILLIONS of money can get away with it, anong klaseng image na ang meron ang ating justice system?baka lalong lumakas loob ng mga holdapers, kidnappers, etc.

[jenny_syngkit]

^ true. everyone knows senators and congressmen make a killing through their pork barrel. hindi lang
natin alam noon exactly how. I used to think na it's always by padding the expenses of their projects.
at least may project, so parang ok lang. now, malalaman ng buong bayan na they got BILLIONS through
ghost projects, as in lahat napunta sa bulsa ng mga bwaya. ni cinco na duling, wala para sa mga Filipino.

Sana lang talaga may mapanagot yung mga senators and congressmen na involved. and hindi lang naman NGO ni
Napoles ang nagiisang NGO na nakinabang. Dapat lahat sila i-confiscate yung unexplained wealth and iliquidate
para maipamigay sa mga mahihirap.

Imagine one of you owns a company wherein I am your best employee who besides being the most industrious I also drawn in the most customers for you that profits increase by three fold and due to this you put me in charge of a very sensitive position, unfortunately behind the façade of being the most loyal you manage to uncover that I have been asking the all company suppliers a 15% cut so in return all your suppliers had to increase the bill charged to your company just to cover bribe money or else im going to drop them from the companys list of preferred suppliers.   

1.)  Now the question would be is inspite of my great credentials and increased company profit for you by three fold would you look the other way and turn a blind eye of me robbing you indirectly?

2.)  Do you believe that in the long term I wont get bolder and greedier if I keep on getting away with it that next time it wont be just 15% overprice on purchases, I might think of something else to augment my "earnings"

No company would allow such a thing no matter how prized I am to them once Im caught robbing them because if im allowed to persist it will set a bad precedent and demoralizes the rest of you employees for playing favorites.  While even the best manage business has a crook or two inside once caught they will weed that cancer out.   A country is the same as a company so the principle is the same.

The thing about corruption is like drugs it starts small but eventually the addiction is so irresistible you cant help yourself but increase the dosage until you lose all inhibition or pretenses that it become tastelessly showy. 

Binay might had started off as good just like marcos did during his time but power and money somehow corrupted them and it wont be long if he becomes president his true colors will show up.  Besides its not his personal money he is being charitable with and he is getting bolder and bolder each year.

^not true sis.i know a couple of companies who let their most favored and trusted employee get away with such crime.minsan nga sila na mismo nagbibigay ng "small" favor sa employee na yun because of the money he/she brings into the company.di na nga lang pinapangalandakan pa.

[artemis26]

^^ and ^, sometimes, such crime can also be seen as the management's way of "incentivitizing" yung excellent performance ng employee, because of the money they bring to the company (kung baga parang commission). in a micro-setting, this scenario can be allowed since may heads-up na yung management kung sino yung gumagawa, so in case, there would be no excesses (over the top na pocketing ng pera, etc). I dont think this applies very much to a macro-setting, ie running a country/economy-kasi not everything here can be easily checked (unless we are to believe that we have an ideal government that runs checks and balances with all transparency and accountability that might deter those offices/officials in pocketing money).

nways, I am not pro or anti Binay. its just that, if I were to choose between someone who has a tendency to be corrupt but can DO MONUMENTAL things for the country and its people (specifically, improve the lives of his constituents) and someone who has DONE NOTHING and PROVEN NOTHING AT ALL, i think i'd pick the 1st one. this is just my opinion.

[nettai]

The sad thing is that we cannot choose the food presented on our plate already. Corruption is already deeply imbedded into our culture. How sure are we that we are going to vote for a clean candidate the next election? Right now, I agree with artemis26's stance, choosing the one who's doing more but getting more than the one who's doing nothing. We pretty much have no choice eh.

As told to me by a friend, the only way to end this hoobla is to "make sure the next generation will have a very different perspective of what it means to coexist."

And just sharing this blog entry:

if the gov't is really serious on their campaign looking for Napoles then patungan na nila yung ulo ni Napoles ng millions..for sure lalabas yan..

[momentum]

^ yeah been wondering about this as to why not try putting a BIG reward for finding Napoles hay nako for sure mas maraming sisipagin na hanapin siya kahit mga civilians 

[artemis26]

ay, meron yatang nagbabasa ng mga cvomments dito:

look!

JUST IN: The government has put up a P10-million reward for the arrest of fugitive Janet Lim-Napoles, President Benigno Aquino III announced on Wednesday, August 28.

http://www.rappler.com/nation/37474-p10-m-reward-for-napoles-arrest

[momentum]

^ huwow! instant! 

[Leven]

wow..magic..hehe

[artemis26]

maganda sana ang intentions, kasi kung baga eh parang "late reaction"...coupled with the fact that a LOT of people think that they- politicians involved in the scam, and even to some extent, Malacañang, are coodling Napoles, or have a hand in her disappearance. Tapos maraming nagtatanong san kukunin ang 10M na reward? sa kaban ulit ng bayan? nakapagnakaw na nga ng 10B, tapos meron pang 10M sa magsusuplong sa kanya na malamang sa malamang eh within her circles. Saktong pambayad sa libel case na finile nya. hehe

All these, and yet we have countrymen still suffering from the onslaught of habagat/Maring, and a whole LOT other things na nangangailangan ng 10M Kung bakit kasi NR ang NBI sa text tip na nasa Pacific Plaza lang si Napoles diba?hehe

[DV]

^^^^Kukunin rin lang yang 10M na yan sa kaban ng bayan. Parang iginigisa lang tayo sa sariling mantika. Mas mabuti pa siguro 10M worth of tax holiday.

[EllaBratin]

I don't think sagot yang 10M na reward, kasi malamang pag nalaman ni Napoles kung sino magsusumbong sa kanya, kayang-kaya niyang higitan ang 10M na patong sa kanya sa dami ng perang nanakaw niya sa atin... 

[nettai]

^^ Tapos may bawas pa yan na tax, about 20%.

Oha. Reward para makahuli ng isang tax swindler na galing sa tax na binawasan para sa tax. Taxception.

[artemis26]

ay true! isipin nyo na lang na baka kay Napoles rin mapunta yung 10M, or may aregluhan nang mangyayari na lalabas na sya, to "pacify" the anger of the people. tapos moro-moro court, masyadong scripted na. ang ending nyan naka hospital arrest si Napoles, samantalang ang mga politicians na kakuntsaba nya, patuloy sa pag-papayaman..hehe

[momentum]

hahaha ayos

nakakatawa at nakakainis at the same time itong news
I even have a feeling na kaya malakas ang loob nila na magbigay ng 10M, ngayon lang at hindi weeks ago, is because wala na dito si Napoles 

ditto on that, 10M meron sa pghanap ng baboy, pero sa pangdonasyon ng mga victims of the recent calamities? WALA, feeding programs for the poor? WALA..10M budget for fixing our drainage system pra mabawasan ang pagbaha? WALA. NADA. BULOOOOOKKK!!!
