I Will Help My Country Through Paying Taxes

I am just an ordinary employee of a company with a regular wage. Now that election is coming, I want changes in my own country, progression. The question is how can I help my country when I am just an ordinary Filipino person?

For me, I will vote for a president who is not corrupt. I am expecting a President who has concern to his fellowmen and his country. The President should implement that those people who have work should pay their taxes religiously.

I've been employed to some companies. I am not a graduate but at least two years in college. I am happy that it was easy for me to find a job and even happier when I am employed to a reputable company because I am sure to myself that I could have good benefits. At least, I could help my country in a little way through paying my taxes.

But I observed that my own country has no progress. Corruptions are all over the country. Some politicians are getting richer because the money of the people are already on their pockets.

Filipinos are already hardworking but how come we are still behind and already belonged to the 3rd world country? The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. I hope that people from the low status of our community could have decent jobs for their family.

If everyone has decent jobs with regular wages, people can pay their taxes and everyone can help our country.

Monument for Manny Pacquiao???

I beg to disagree for building a monument for Manny Pacquiao. I admire and respect him for being the Greatest Boxer in the World and Filipinos are getting famous for our own talent. He already have the fame and riches: an actor, a recording artist, a wanna-be politician... what more can he ask for?

I say Manny Pacquiao is a very humble person but I think he should disapprove a monument depicting himself. The politicians are riding with the fame of Manny Pacquiao for using him now that the election is near. Besides, he have been welcomed to any provinces or city, like Manila, Cebu and his own General Santos. I've heard that Manila and Cebu will build a monument for him. What the...??? A monument in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao? Come to think of it that the money use to be build for the monument comes from the people of the Philippines. You know, OUR TAXES???

It is such a waste if the project for a monument will be pushed-through. There are no benefits that we could get from it. I hope that whoever politicians are thinking of the project will change his or her mind that the money should be used for the welfare of the people in their town, city, province and much more for the country.
