Social Issues: The Corruption in the Philippines (PDAF SCAM)

          Many social issues are happened in the Philippines now but the most recently talk about is the Corruption in the Philippine Government. The latest of it is the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam or The PDAF Scam. The mastermind of the PDAF Scam is the businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles. In this case almost 10 Billion Pesos was scamed by this case. We know that Napoles is only a high school graduate but she made a way on how to scam the money. Like the fake Non Governamental Organizations has planed a project to give the fund to the farmers who is harvesting food for us but they will only scam the fund.

         Some government officials was belonged in the PDAF Scam like Sen. Bong Revilla, Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and former senate president Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile and also his secretary Sec. Gigi Reyes who are all now in jail. Even other Congressmens are belonged there, for the fact we voted them to serve the country whats right not to be a corrupt official. Many people also reacted about this PDAF Scam and even they made a Million People March in Edsa just to abolish the PDAF. Also Cardinal Tagle described the scandal as part of an "intricate web of corruption", and said that it is right that the issue be investigated. He added that those involved in the scam have "lost touch with the poor" and should visit a community of informal settlers to understand the issues poor Filipinos face on a daily basis. "We have heard many other big scandals in the past but these were buried and forgotten when a new issue came up",



           The money from this fund was pay by our parents as they pay their taxes and i cant be accepted this happening if the fund will not go for good only to be scamed. I can say that the government officials are voted to do what is good for the country but if they only corrupt they are not deserving in their position.
