The Bayanihan to Heal as One Act: Misappropriated Intentions

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, also known as the Bayanihan Act, and officially designated as Republic Act No. 11469, is a law in the Philippines that was enacted in March 2020 granting the President additional authority to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.

Pero bakit parang naging puro accumulate trillions of funds then abutan ng barya-barya mga umaasa. Konting ayuda, konting relief goods na galing pa nga sa LGU (for a few select people only), pero karamihan naman ng necessities puro donations galing from the OVP and private sectors.

Walang national government-initiated mass testing or mass contact tracing which are supposed to be the best way to combat this pandemic while we wait for a vaccine. Puro top government officials lang ang nakinabang sa immediate testing...meron pa ngang twice or thrice na-test funded by our taxes.

But then we see how they violate their own mandated health protocols of public gathering, social distancing, etc. Ruthless to the people, yet compassionate to themselves in the implementation.

Iniasa na lang nila sa private sector ang fate natin. Swerte mo Kung generous o may kakayahang ang kumpanya mo. But not all ay malalim ang bulsa para gumastos sa sariling testing. Kanya-kanya na lang ba talaga tayo? Matira ang matibay? Survival of the fittest? Covid-19 versus the masses?

Now anti-terror bill, closure of a TV network, and proposal to rename an airport ay naisingit pa nila when they are supposed to be busy finding ways to augment the dwindling economy, the many loss of employment, etc.

Nag-ipon lang yata sila ng pondo for the next campaign and election on 2022.

What a True Public Servant Should Be

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Enough with the mudslinging, and pitiful are those who attack the physical attributes of someone they despise because it only makes their logic and reasoning too weak to stand on their own.

This administration is not perfect. There has never been one free of scrutiny....and though there are obvious irregularities, corruption and double standards happening, the past administrations were never clean as well.

We have been exerting all efforts to choose the lesser evil, but we keep on failing since I believe most of them just got too greedy during their "reign".

6 years is just like only 6 months when you are enjoying the luxurious life being at the center of too much power and affluence. It truly corrupts even the noblest of angels...and Duterte was never even an inkling of an angel. He was clearly identified as responsible for the Davao Death Squad yet we still put him in the Presidency, and are constantly shocked with his words and actions.

Why have our government officials gone to the deep end? Because we have pampered them with VIP treatment instead of inculcating in their minds that they are public servants who are supposed to be serving us.

What is happening is the other way around.

As public servants, they should be mingling with the people they serve, and experiencing what ordinary people have to deal with on a daily basis and not having their own chauffered and police-escorted high-end air-conditioned vehicles.

They shouldn't be given the best seats in the house. We are their bosses so they should either sit with us for equality or given the last priority on the seats since they should give way for us.

They shouldn't be getting a high salary. It only further attracted crooks to the position, add to it the additional perks and privileges they are constantly getting.

These are just some of the reasons why these top government positions are sought by those who have the wrong motivations.

Will you still run for office and spend millions on your campaign and propagandas if you follow these new arrangements?
