Progression?

The Philippines was the second to Japan when it comes to the wealthy nations in Asia. But now, we are only second to Bangladesh as the poorest country. What happened to our country? What happened to our leaders? What happened to us Filipinos?

Nowadays, political ads on both televisions and radios are so common. Walls on the streets are also starting to look dirty because of so many flyers posted on them. Political killings are also alarming. More Filipinos are getting hungry everyday. If I were a politician, I would rather spend my money on feeding the hungry people than spending it on the endorsement by some famous actors and actresses. The Philippines needs money to help its people rise from poverty and yet this politicians are wasting so much money on their p[political ads. Politicians should know that they should be loved by the people because they arte good and effective not because they are endorsed by famous icons on television. The voters are also responsible for choosing their right leaders that will manage the country. They should look on the performance of a real leader and not on the money that they pay other people for them to win.

During the ASEAN or the Association of South East Asia Nations, Cebu had spent or should I say wasted so much money on the so called “deco lamps.” The Deco lamps are futile and just a waste of money because they are not enough to light the streets. A lot of money was also wasted on spent on expensive flowers planted on the center of the streets. As expected, these flowers died because of the blazing heat from the sun. Another worthless project during the ASEAN was the Cebu International Convention Center or CICC. Millions were wasted on this. If only the money was spent on building houses for the poor, then this country may progress. New cars were also bought during the ASEAN, but the sad thing about it is, is that it is now being used by some politicians for their own benefits. Hundreds of thousands were also wasted on the very expensive for the guests.

The Philippines is a third world country. This country needs good leaders who can manage the country well. This country also needs people who will cooperate with the government. This coming election, may the voters vote the right leaders.
