BBM presented with pride his 5500 flood control projects worth P244B during his SONA, and after 2 days, it was tried and tested by Super Typhoon Carina.The weakness were witnessed by at least 31M Filipinos, seeing the massive floods across the country.
Philippines indeed has money. Philippines is not poor. It can buy and build anything it wants. From billions of intelligence funds to useless flood control projects that cost billions and billions of pesos, Philippines wealth is undeniable.
As expected, Filipinos remain poor because they are contented to live in the hands and promises of leaders they vote. Leaders and Filipinos live in circles, just going back and forth with no commitment to progress. Filipinos continue to be happy fighting each other during elections, standing for their chosen candidate and is happy to fight to death in exchange of relief goods, tupad and other forms of small tokens for their votes. Then when calamity and disaster arrive, they all suffer while the officials they have voted and fought for are in the comfort of their mansions or palace.
