How long will this cycle continue? funds meant to save lives end up stolen, and people are left with nothing but empty promises.
Help Philippines, don’t let this just pass by like another headline.
It will continue as long as ordinary people elect bad people to govern the country. If they do this in every election, then a large part of the responsibility lies with them. Change can only come if dishonest people are removed and those who will work for the benefit of the people are appointed.
However, it should be noted that such things do not only happen in countries like the Philippines, because it also happens in some EU countries with one important difference, which is that politicians steal money in all possible ways, but at the same time they do something useful for the people, who then turn a blind eye to their misdeeds.
In the end, I don't see how someone who is not from the Philippines can help that country get rid of corruption, because after all, these are internal matters of an independent country.
