‘ANG TAONG TUNAY NA NAGMAMAHAL AY HINDI MAGNANAKAW SA KAPWA’
During the Holy Mass ahead of the White Ribbon Movement rally, Kidapawan Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo said corruption stems from self-centeredness, making it easier to deceive people and abuse power, and stressed that those who have genuine love for others would never think of stealing from them.
🔎 REALITY CHECK: When trillions are unaccounted for, the system is hemorrhaging cash, pumping more money into it without fixing the leak is deeply problematic.
Without ongoing or new legitimate flagship projects, an increased budget implies the money is being diverted into bloated operational expenses, localized lump-sum allocations, or opaque "unprogrammed" funds.
Approving a larger budget in the wake of unresolved, multi-trillion corruption scandals creates a severe moral hazard. It signals to corrupt officials, complicit contractors, and oversight bodies that there are no tangible consequences for financial mismanagement.
It essentially institutionalizes impunity, showing that no matter how much public wealth is diverted, the financial tap will not only remain open but will run even faster.
