Students condemn pork barrel scam

The pork barrel scam is an issue that is widely talked about in the news nowadays and we, as high school students, would like to express our opinion on the said issue:

We are worried for our country if the government officials involved in the scam are the ones “leading” us. What will happen to our future if they are the ones robbing the country’s coffers? The fact is, the pork barrel provides a great opportunity for corruption. With the huge sums involved and with almost no control measures in place, the temptation is too great for a number of Filipinos in office.
