The populace is so much engrossed and preoccupied in venting their ire and anger to our government leaders and legislators, as regards the revelation of the scam of majestic proportion. This infamous chapter in the history of Philippine legislation is a fitting complement to the people’s perception of what the nature of Philippine politics is all about. If we go back to the people’s belief relative to how politics work in this country, the recent turn of events have not changed anything or stunned the people with regard to this mess that currently taints the local arena; in the first place it simply confirmed the people’s long-standing apprehensions of what the character of Philippine politics is all about. It affirmed the customary belief that local politics is plagued with graft and corruption, and much more. Further, this epidemic is not mere systemic but likewise cultural in nature, and encompasses all age brackets as proven by sporadic commitments of some and highly educated persons, as young as the 22-year-old student who plagiarized foreign work for his own personal aggrandizement. The “Culture of Corruption” appears embedded in our system, regardless of social strata. In fact, this political episode of high-level corruption should be dubbed as stereotyped, if we talk of political and governmental bureaucratic procedures and operations.
