I was watching the news earlier and heard that one congressman was proposing the "No work, no PORK!" policy to fellow congressmen who are not attending the sessions. Kudos to Congressman Edno Joson.
It is sad to know that most of our legislators, who holds the PORK BARREL of their respective districts, don't attend the Congress' Meetings and so the quorum to pass bills and laws can't be met. As a tax-payer, I can't help but to be frustrated that our elected government officials are not doing their jobs. If they are not doing their assignments, what more with regards to the usage of the money? Now I'm wondering, how do they use/spend the allocated budget given to them? Does it go straight to their pockets? Is this the type of leaders we have here in the Philippines? Does this reflect the type of people we have here in the country?
I'm hoping that voters will be wiser in selecting our leaders. Someday, I'm wishing for a better country. A far better Philippines!
