The Reality We Face ๐
While billions are poured into flood control projects in the Philippines, corruption continues to bleed our nation dry. Instead of truly helping the people who suffer every time the rains pour, the money ends up in the pockets of corrupt contractors and officials. Their families live lavishly, flying around the world, shopping for luxury items, enjoying every comfort, funded by taxes that hardworking citizens like us struggle to pay.
Meanwhile, Iโm here sacrificing day in and day out. I wake up too early, battle daily stress from work, and sometimes even stay overnight just to get things done. Every month, I juggle my budget just to pay bills and needs. I pay six digits in taxes annually, yet I can barely afford my wants or a simple trip without months of saving and sacrificing.
The sad truth? Money that should improve lives and build our nation is stolen, while taxpayers carry the burden. This isnโt just my story, itโs the story of countless Filipinos who work hard while the corrupt shamelessly enjoy.
When will accountability be more than just a word? ๐ค๐ฅน๐ ๐ก
