Noynoy’s battle cry ‘Kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap’ should also be the nation’s battle cry now that the senator is about to be our next president. Perhaps among the country’s biggest source of funds for corruption down to the local level is the so called ‘Pork Barrel’.
Noynoy should abolish the Pork Barrel and never allow any form of replacement or compromise. That will remove so much corruption plaguing our country. Even if it removes only half of corruption, it would already be a huge improvement.
The first ever automated elections removed any possibility of dagdag bawas during counting but the elections itself was still marred by vote buying, coercion, mudslinging and other forms of deceit to influence voters illegally. However, it was already a great step towards a better democracy as it removed one big evil: dagdag-bawas.
By taking away the pork barrel, one big source of corruptible government funds will be taken away. And that is one great step towards achieving the state of the nation according to Noynoy’s campaign battle cry.
