Philippine Politics + Bribe Money + a Priest = A Recipe for Disaster

They’re at it again. Just another disastrous concoction straight from the annals of Philippine Politics. A Priest turned Governor turned in half a million peso worth of “gift” money with a big question, “What is it for?”

Are they for real? Bribing a Priest and all that? Well, ladies and gents, its just another day for Philippine Corrupted Politics in action. Seeing the news on TV, it made me disgusted with Philippine Politics anew but in a way, it made me smile. At least, someone in the murky waters of Philippine Politics is doing the right thing. Gov. Eddie Panlilio, priest turned Governor of Pampanga, is now number one in my list of favorite people in Philippine Politics. And mind you, it takes a lot to make it to my list. To do what he did takes a lot of courage and it would do our country good if we have more government officials like him.

I did not approve of the church entering politics before but if all priest turned officials would be like Gov. Panlilio, I would be the number one supporter of those church leaders who are planning on entering politics. Maybe this is what our government needs, a “faith transfusion” to counter all those evil lurking in the hallways of our government. I only have one thing to say to those trying to bribe a priest, “Shame on you!”
