“Our taxes are not used to build our nation. Instead they subsidize corruption and incompetence.” (Agree?)
The responses were:
∙ from Bernadette Zamora Froilan: Spin a winnn

∙ from Gerard Mark Buma-at: The culture of impunity; when high-ranking government officials are caught but never punished, it sends a wrong signal that rules are optional. This creates a normalization of corruption.
∙ from Anne Michelle Sevilla Te: Panahon na nga usbon na nato mga katawhan labi na katong dali ra ma manipulate ang atong panglantaw. Dili kay kinsa ang sikat o kinsa ang dako’g hatag, kundi kinsa ang tinuod nga naay abilidad ug kasingkasing sa pagserbisyo. Kanang mga politiko nga walay personal agenda.
