Wowowee and the Pests in the Government

I watched Wowowee yesterday and a certain contestant caught my attention that I feel I am going to blog it today. The contestants were "Basurero/basureras" and stories of poverties from them made some of the audience to shed tears.

One of the contestants brought with her an ID of her grandchild and showed it to Willie Revillame while the poor woman was crying. According to her, more or less 5 times she and her grandchild went to Wowowee and tried to approach Willie but to no avail (but I want to make it clear that it was not Willie who refused to see them).

The reason why they wanted to approach Willlie during those times is that they want to ask for a nebulizer since the child is suffering from asthma.Unfortunately, the child died last August due to her ailment since her medical needs were not provided due to poverty.

In that very moment, what I thought of was the wide corruption happening in our government. The one million peso dinner of  our beloved president, the corruption scandals that rocked this administration and now, the congressmen who are going to the US just to watch Manny Pacquiao fight with the government's money.

All of those dirty money pocketed by these pests in the government, if properly disbursed, how many lives has been saved from those meaningless deaths? If only they have conscience...

As a result, those impoverish people are losing their trust in the government. Imagine, the said contestant wanted to ask help from Willie and not from the government because she knows that her concern may only fall on deaf ears. Ears of the pests masquerading as public servants who have no other agenda but to enrich themselves.

Don't let the people lost their trust from you, pests. Magbago na kayo!
