Istoryahanay sang taga-M'lang sa Corruption PART - 1

By TOTO MARCELO ORTIGOZA

As I was traversing the other day the national highway I saw a new bridge with a huge signage that says “This is where your taxes go”.
I told a friend inside my car that the statement was wanting: “Dapat it says: “60 percent of your taxes go in funding this bridge while the 20 percent was pocketed by your congressman through S.O.P (cut) while the other 20 percent has been divided by the district engineer (DE) of the DPWH, his engineers who were commissioned to check the quality of the obviously defective bridge, mayor and barangay chairman in the venue of the bridge, and the in-house official of the Commission on Audit at the DPWH”.
Ang duwa diri sa Right nag Magna Cumlaude sa SBC.

 A private contractor in the province whines among friends how corrupt was a certain DE. Aside from the SOP this DE asks, he/she did not give a qualm if the contractor gave the DE a check that runs to hundreds of thousands as commission.
Hoy DE na kurak
ot, baka ma paper trail ka someday magaya mo sila Napoles na nasa kulungan na.
This DE, by the way, is not only working with the DPWH, he/she has a construction firm that siphoned many of the contracts in the district at the expense of other private contractors.

Now they are concerned the river bank is eroding and will destroy it. For me that bridge is too much. I wonder why it cost too much. If I am not mistaken only tricycles can pass through it.

  • 1 hr · LikeLab Anque aside from the 40% cut these son of guns pocketed, transaction with government projects run on the following: Engineering and Administrative Overhead Expenses, 3.5%; Value Added Tax, 12%; Contractor’s Profit (CP), 10%; Overhead Contingency (OC), 10% . These are the reasons government projects become more expensive because of these sanctioned deductions versus projects donated by private individuals like school houses to the government kasi wala ng tax, etc.

    Lab Anque Kung minsan daw kuhanan ng picture na work is in progress then they want more funding because the original funds are depleted. The project becomes a failure. I think we need politicians who will make a change for the better. Where are they though?

  • Maybelle de los Santos There's good news for you. I was with a group of prosecutors two weeks ago, and they were talking about the latest proposal of amending the Penal Code. They are now doing away with estafas, libels and oral defamations in the new law. The prospect makes me grin with hope. At last, I can start my media career without fear of harassment or incarceration.
