To let this pass, to let this die down, is to surrender. It is to let the crocodiles on their golden thrones— thrones built from the people’s taxes—devour as much as they please. It is to let them revel in their false victory, feasting on the struggles of the Filipino People, while each of us wakes every day merely to scrape by and survive.

“Juan, you're seething. You're oozing with absolute rage. I can see you—I can feel you.”
Hear ye, hear ye!
Here in the Philippines, we can no longer call our government 𝙖 𝙜𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩, for right now it is nothing but a den of thieves, a playground for those fat crocodiles in tailored suits.
Behold, my brothers and sisters, the revelation about the infuriating flood control project shows that the P545 billion allocated for flood mitigation between July 2022 and May 2025 had concerning irregularities. According to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., only 100 billion of this project was awarded to 15 out of 2409 accredited contractors. You see from this very data alone, every peso stolen is a peso ripped from the hands of a starving child, ripped from the hands of a man drowning in a flood.
Just take a look at the construction companies owned by Sarah Discaya and her husband, Curlee Discaya, St. Timothy Construction Corporation, Alpha and Omega General Contractor, and 7 other construction companies that were called out by President Marcos and the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee due to the visibly unfinished and structurally deficient state of their projects, despite their ₱96.49 million (US$1.96 million) budget.Yet they have this blood-curdling audacity to flaunt their “rob to riches” story in front of all Filipino people’s eyes. Those luxury cars they own are a major slap to our poverty-stricken country, and they surely love to feast on our misery—oh, these leeches, these parasites rubbing our faces in the dirt!
My dear fellow Filipinos, the breakdown of all the irregularities in these ghost projects will shake your core. And what I'm serving you is only the gist of it all. Multiple greedy sons of a gun were involved, and with every contract they rig is a nail in the coffin of our poor battered nation—DPWH, ENGINEERS, AND EVEN POLITICIANS. Each one of their ghost projects is a testament to them being utterly useless and money-grubbing fools.
But Juan says enough! He's done being polite, he's done being branded as a fool, he's done paying for those corrupt politicians their extravagant meals, and he's done watching them destroy his beloved country. You see, this is not even about politics anymore; it's about our dignity, our survival!
Let's demand an increase in accountability! The government, if they still have a bit of conscience left, should open data initiatives, tighten whistleblower protection, and uplift public education. Since the lack of effective oversight, enforcement, and a culture of impunity further compounds the problem.
Today, September 21, as I watch my fellow Filipinos protest in anger, I can feel their rage deep within my bones. Our country endured and suffered long enough. We must now tear this rotten system brick by bloody brick and drag those thieves kicking and screaming to the light—out of their mansion thickened with blood.
The time for fear is over. Our lives are at stake. We must turn over the tide and rise beyond this barricade of corruption. Because as the old adage goes, “Lintik lang ang walang ganti.” Now is the time to demand accountability, now is the time for change. Let's end this frustrating cycle once and for all.
𝗣𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗦, 𝗜𝗞𝗔𝗪 𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗠𝗨𝗡𝗔!
