Another waste of the peoples money

As seen on one of the many MRT stations. they even have this inside the coaches. What the f*ck are these for?! We are nowhere near a good economy, much less a country. how do i know this?

during one of my weekends of playing my sport, while crossing the street to purchase water and some crisps, i noticed a man beside a cart laying on the ground with his hand cluthing his head. He didn't appear to be injured externally so i approached him. To make sure he wasn't dead i said "manong okay lang po kayo?", he then looked at me and looked a bit alarmed (i was wearing a fatigue then) and he tried to quickly get up and tell me what was wrong with him.

the manong told me he suffered the week before and his head has been suffereing every since. i asked him about going to pgh and he said all the hospital could do for him was operate on the main problem and that was it. they have him no meds...nothing.

He said he needed to work so his family could eat and so that maybe he can buy some meds. I asked him to go to the Makati Hospital but they said that he couldn't afford the P3,000 they were charging him for things. Seeing i couldn't do anything for him medically. i then told him to wait for me. i went inside the store and bought him some water...perhpas it would relieve him some to get some water since he didn't appear to have any.

after i gave him the water i sat down with him and spoke with him for a few minutes. i then remembered some of my friends who belonged to some foundation may be able to help him. So i went back inside the place i came from and asked for their help after explaining the situation. They agreed. when we out to wait for the ambulance the old man was gone.

my only thoughts that time was that "Where the f*ck was the government for him?" they expect people like him and me to vote for their sorry asses during election and then disappear with the money...the use luxury cars, gas guzzling SUVs and get so many body guards and schedule so many unnecessary out of the country trips using OUR MONEY!

you see so many people with out water, electricity, a home...even a good road system. No basic needs...then you see f*cking Gloria act all mighty and righteous saying she has done all she can and is doing all and comes out with posters like this?!

The Philippines is not a country...it's a trap!
