MURDERERS AND THIEVES

The worst disease that country is facing right now that is killing thousands of Filipinos
every day is not the global pandemic but traitors in the government that practices corruption.
Corruption is the greatest enemy of democracy. It like a snowball that once it’s set rolling it
increases. Our ignorance to corruption is the power of those criminals. There is nothing that
is more than vicious to society than a government that is incompetent, inefficient, and
corrupt. Our duties as the people are to challenge and end corruption. Their power must not

score of 34 115th out of 180. The Philippines according to trading economics is averaging
94.77 % from 1995 until early this year. Corruption is roots of all the social and economic
adversities that the country is facing. In research conducted by transparency international it
was concluded that corruptions cause a corrosive impact on growth and business operations

diseases that the society has like, human right violation, unfair and power praising justice

society, but that change must start within us by choosing wisely and objectively in the
upcoming national elections. George Orwell once said that “People who elects corrupt
politicians, impostors, thieves and traitors are not victims but accomplices.” To save our
country and the Filipino people we must act now united as a nation to fight and eliminate
