perhaps we can all agree that we Filipinos have a big and deep problem when it comes to politics in our country. The powerful and the rich manipulate politics for their own benefit, and in many cases do not even take into account the plight of the poor and wretched in our society. This situation becomes an obstacle to the implementation of true social justice in which the most needy are really taken care of. It turns out that the law is only for those who have acquaintances and connections with those in power. It is unlucky for a person if he does not know anything in the powder. Various government positions become compensation to those who are most indebted to a politician's office. In the existing political system, the most important characteristic of a politician is to be loyal to his “backers,” patrons to whom he is most indebted — even if the interests of these people are at odds with the interests of the people. Many of our politicians are in office not because they are worthy and qualified, not because they have a good “track record,” and not because their platform is comprehensive and clear. They took the seat because they happened to be famous. Some examples of these politicians are actors Lito Lapid, Bong Revilla, and Jinggoy Estrada. Let's add to this the boxer Manny Pacquiao who is now a senator but he did nothing in the House of Representatives of the Philippines. I can’t quite figure out why he was even elected as a representative in congress.
