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.
Unfortunately this is not gonna happen since majority of the population in the Philippines are poor. And most of these poor people dont really think who is good or bad, they will only vote if they can benefit during election - like vote buying for example, which is so rampant here. Even government aid is being used as a form of vote buying.
So as long as poverty is this high, people have no choice but to go with whoever can help them, even if they know that politician is corrupt - or sometimes they’re just not educated about what’s really happening. Right now, it feels hopeless if our country will ever recover and be led by the right ones.
