where did all my taxes go?

"Our highways are nothing compared to the roads at their most remote areas", haha.. is that for real?? Phillippine's civil engineers can't design and build highway properly if that is the case, they may have graduated from some lowly graded university in Africa continent or in U.S, make sure your government award construction project to Malaysian company if you want to see high standard of construction work done in Phillippine in the future, it may not be just using the wrong rules, the problem may turn out to be the engineers and workers they used to construct highway are members of half past six engineering association.

I don't really understand why every year we have to repair roads and bridges. Why can't they make these roads with better material so it doesn't erode easily. All the infrastructure projects are invested in the city streets specifically the Metro Manila area and nearby cities. Every year DPWH digs the streets which causes heavy traffic. The countryside is left as it is. There are no cemented roads but dirt roads. When I was watching the impeachment trial somewhere during the trial, they mentioned the millions that goes to the congressmen and senators for their projects. Where does this money go? We are so far behind the other Southeast Asian countries. Our local TV networks are doing better at helping the countryside. They invest in new schools, equipment and medical health missions. They reach the far off areas where cemented roads is only a figment of the imagination. If you are wondering where out taxes go, so do I.

Hello jureathome, even though i already have my tin no. i still don't like paying taxes anymore. but that's probably i prefer working in the business sector like the call center companies because they handle the taxes for me. sometimes i don't think they deserve to be in the position there, some people just go there for the JOB

You are right. Taxes are not just the one being deducted from our salary, everything in our contry have tax. When you eat at fastfood or any restaurant, you can see in your bill the tax. Yes we can see roads being made every now and then becuase of the poor quality of the materials being used in that project. Another thing is that roads are being reconstructed only when the election is nearly approaching. Tax being deducted in my salary is too much, but I can't see too much improvements in our country. You are right, most of the taxes are being corrupted.

It goes to the pocket of corrupt government employees and politicians. :D

Corruption? don't ask the public,, ask the Government officials

Sometimes, it's really sad to know the real situation. There maybe some leaders who are corrupt but let us also remember that there are also some who are honest and sincere on their jobs. Most of these leaders, who are holding high positions in the government as far as I know are there because we choose them to serve us. it only means that being a voter, we are responsible for what is happening in the country right now. Let me say, they are stealing money from us because we allowed them to do so.
