i just wonder if whats into politics that made poll bets spend too much where they can help the money they spent for political campaign to help the unfortunate filipino citizens. there are lots of homeless and hungry filipinos that needs more attention than those campaign materials..

it's not just pang kurakot... to give benefit to other officials.

it's about influence. If naa ka sa pwesto daghan kaau ka makuha nga info, plus influence on your business. Not necessarily ang pangurakot lng. Pero kong daku og gasto ang politiko, most probably mangurakot jud na.

Kanang gasto sa mga candidate dili gyud na ila tanan nga as in gikan sa ila bulsa...

mostly ana donations gyud sa mga amigo ug amiga nga naa mga big time nga negosyo.
Politics is considered the best business here in Pinas.

Kung ang mga candidato mo daug then those people who support him/her is asking a favor in exchange.

Like for example ang negosyante taas kaayo ug tax then gi declare na sa BIR for closure coz without paying the due taxes, then this negosyante mo negotiate nga gamit na ang kadtong ila gi tabangan candidato.

I'm not totaly convince anang kurakot sa mga elected official gamay ra kaayo na para nila (e.g. over pricing).

Mostly gyud nia sa mga cut back sa taxes ila kurakoton.

Kung ang negosyante naa annual due taxes nga 200 million kung mo negotiate ni cla maka save. lets say mo down to 50M then pila man sa elected official nga mao nakig negotiate...? Ang gagmay negosyante mao mo suffer ani...

same as EVAT measure gipatay nila ang gagmay nga negosyante. The EVAT measure equal sa tanan negosyo but the due payments dili gyud ka afford ang mga small timer.

we are on top of the most corrupt country in asia. thats mainly because of our government officials. why will they spend millions for election campaigns why will those so called friends... supporters and whomsoever give money to support the campaign for someone running for any position they are spending millions just to be popular in order to win? isnt something fishy is going on being an elected official? yeah right....

not just being kurakot but its different to be in position cause you could be as strong as superman.

hope those peepz could share their wealth with those who are homeless and those who are hungry in our country.
