To begin with ,the magnitude of political earthquake that has been raging within the bureaucracy of the Philippines for several months due to corruption allegations being charged against the Vice Presidency magnifies the cause of an uncontrollable spread of poverty in the rural areas and the rapid rise of hunger among the poor people in the urban areas. The heinous corruption accusations validated the assumptions that funds that are supposed to address poverty, a dangerous social problem,went through the bank accounts of the Vice President and therefore an anti poor conduct. A horrible political reality which portrays the hazard of insatiable greed for wealth that buries the country in the catacomb of stinking poverty. Needless to say that the first victims of the aggressive poverty are the innocent children who are powerless to speak up for their plight. Street children are forced by a harsh reality to scavenge for food in trash cans in order to live, some of them are lured by the unscrupulous street monsters into prostitution unaware of the perils of AIDS,HIV,Gonorrhea and other sexually related diseases. Amid the unprecedented rise of poverty rate in this country, unethical politicians never created doable solutions to eradicate it, thus, testify an idea that politicians are more delighted if there is an increase in poverty rate which means that there will be more poor people that they can deceive for their own political ends.
numerous political figures in a multi-party system in the Philippines do not possess doable programs to address social problems such as the explosive rise of population, intolerable prostitution, gruesome crimes ,and unmanageable spread of poverty in the rural as well as in the urban areas, thus, ideologically bankrupt. Yet , they still win during national election even though they are not qualified nor have the qualities to lead this country towards progress. This is a very sad political reality which hampers national development , entombs most of the constituents in the graveyard of unbearable hunger.
Educated constituents have gone berserk with the advent of the exposed massive graft and corruption of the Vice President that has been rampaging on televisions,internet and radios. Protesting too loud but without a single clue of who is going to be blamed for the existence of this sad political reality. Vote buying in the rural areas is rampant during election since the agricultural workers who consist the majority of our social strata are very poor ,ill-informed and have a very strong distrust towards public officials whom they blame for their poverty. In some rural regions such as Ilocos and ARMM, voter’s right of suffrage is being curtailed through harassment and intimidation at point blank, but most of the poor voters resorted into vote selling in exchange for sardines, a kilo of rice and small amount of money than leave the polling precincts with nothing in their hands. They exactly know that politicians ran for public offices without plans to uplift the lives of the poor from hunger ,lead the agricultural sector towards progress, fight for the interest of the farmers but to enrich themselves for selfish glorification.
