I don't know what will happen to us with this kind of country and government, the politicians are very corrupt, even we the people of philippines know it, we cannot do anything, because even if how many rallies, how many protest, transport, hunger strikes we do, the greedy ones don't listen, they are always hungry for power. Rice here in Philippines which is our main food,is very expensive, but the salary of the people did not increase, what are we going to do now, the people that are in power get every resources from the tax that we pay for their own, we can't even afford to be sick, can't afford to go to college, can't afford to life a stable life, why can't we do anything to solve this kind of problem? we're tired of being overworked and underpaid, the president is very corrupt, the senators, the congressman, all of them.

It's not true that we can't do anything...
Next Election is just around the corner...don't vote for those politicians who you think are corrupt...Choose those who are responsible and not corrupt...Vote wisely!...

buying of election votes is very rampant in these country, and some politicians use violence, even kill just to get votes, the richer you are, the more votes you have, and because of poverty, some or many would sell their votes just to have something to eat for the day, that is why we can't do anything

The problem now originates from the people who sell their votes...If they stop that kind of activity...If they are intelligent enough to realize that their votes are essential in changing our country's situation...
We should not put all the blame to those corrupt officials...We are the ones who put them in their current posts...We are the ones who, because of their money which is good only for one day, elected them and made our country miserable.
