Corruption Fever

Only in the Philippines where Government officials involved in scams and other malpractices never get shamed, in other countries who are only even rumored to have corrupt practices are bound to resign from their post in public office from the humiliation. WHILE in our beloved country the Philippines-- officials involved, rumored to nefarious activities never opt to resign but instead denying the allegations to the max-- in Pinoy 'linggo 'kapit tuko sa pwesto. The thing is, it goes back to the upbringing of our well educated officials who are by-products of our weak educational system lacking the much needed ethical standards that can be gained only from primary education upward through the study of philosophy. But alas, we have no such learning in early childhood school system. They might say we have GMRC in primary schools but as we can see--its not an effective medium.
