Washington Post Comments on Philippine Politics
This report comes at a time the true pictures of Philippines politics comments from a foreign observer. This remark very disgusting and challenging, this should be taken seriously by our politicians who will be elected after the May 10, 2010 national polls.
The article titled “In Philippines, pre-vote largess doesn’t translate into post-vote progress,” has deemed pre-election scenario in the country as a politician’s showcase of talent, while the aftermath, a source of disappointment.
“Pre-election good times are almost always followed by post-election betrayal,” the articled authored by Blaine Harden read. “Politicians who win election in this former US colony have one of the worst records in Southeast Asia for stiffing the poor, coddling the rich and indulging themselves.”
The article also cited bad governance, political killings, rising crime rate, Filipino immigrants, and the presence of terrorist group, as reasons why the Philippines remain a “poor” country.
In addition, what Mr. Harden missed in his reports the gravity of graft and corruptions of public governance in the Philippines? Elected leaders disregard the systematically importance of public management in addressing the core sickness of bad governance, why Philippines is so corrupt society in Southeast Asia. Our neighbors Singapore and Malaysia has steady and sustain economic growth, while Philippines remain in the club of poorest nation. While, we are pooled of a talented professionals and skilled workers known globally our immigrant jobs seeker are destine hired by Singapore and other advance and developed nations worldwide.
Lifting the prestige lost it depend who will be the next president of the republic after May 10 election, chances to reform the rotten system is the next administration, if he has sincere motives to regain the lost of our moral ascendancy. Does he have strong courage for moral recovery programs of our diluted society to excel for the best? The compelling reasons we should have the ability to elect boldly and honest president to lead us for the next six years uninterrupted performance with a kind of stature of good leadership and at far dedication.
Try to look now to US domestic and foreign policy more focuses on reforming the Americans interest, they elect President Barack Obama a very serious and sincere motivational politician willing to accept advice from the team advisers- US economy is going to rebound from the economic down-turned. Wall Street’s it almost of brink for financial melt-down its back for full recovery in upswing in their 1st Quarter reports. Dow Jones is on up trend on their summary reports. Suwerte sila maka tagpo Pangulo ng matino at mahusay, kalian pa kaya sa Pinas?
