Musings on corruption

While discussing the PFF case with a fellow media man the other day, he said that there would have been no problems had the president spread the wealth with every one else. What he meant was that siya lang ang nakinabang sa pera at hindi lahat. 

Honestly, I was shocked. That's a terrible thing to say. Are we as a people that bad that we'll turn a blind eye to corruption if every one else benefits from it? Are people (or we Filipinos) generally corrupt? Is corruption so deeply ingrained that it's an accepted and necessary evil? 

Then he went on to say that it's like that not just in other NSAs but also in the government. Oh he would know. He's a beneficiary of envelope journalism.

What a world! What a life!


One football person who is so against any of the PFF's troubles coming out in the media is now going to make a statement. Jeez. Join the party, why doncha?
