The past week has been a trying time for the Philippine government, because of this chronic problem that has now become visible in the open, which unfortunately if left unabated will soon be like rust that destroys the iron. Despite the fact that the people are well aware of this existing malady, corruption has always been the root and cause of many lingering problems and illnesses in the country. It has now become apparent and obvious that big personalities are immersed in this activity. Whereas previously these personalities are merely implied because of indirect contact to the activity, now they have become brazen in their activity because they know that they can always get out of it because of political connections.
