What if we play their game?

In every issue that is being discussed and investigated in Congress, there is money involved. In every law that will be passed in Congress there is also money involved. In every committee hearing in Congress there is money involved. In fact, most of the people are there because a great deal of money is involved. MONEY.MONEY.MONEY. and MONEY. It seems that this is the constant in the way our representatives and senators do business.

The prevalent issues on the Reproductive Health bill, Charter Change, Impeachment, Agriculture scams, and even the Cheaper Medicines bill, etc. revolves around Money. Pay-offs have been in the system way before my existence. This is how business of governance is done. You can basically get away with anything or even get what you want when you speak in the most privileged language-Money talks. 

I am now thinking, what if we play their game? If the Palace throught its cronies pay a hefty price of 500,000php per representative in the House, why don’t we pay 600,000php or even higher. They bribe or pay-off, we bribe and pay them off. People in the House will not understand us if we do not speak in their favorite language. If they were given 500,000php in a paper bag, let us give them 600,000php in Lacoste bags. Since the crocodile trademark fits them well.

With this style, what we need is to have rich financiers. Let us give the Palace a dose of their own medicine. Let us play their game. Probably with this, sad it may be, we will get justice and fairness. I know the means will never justify the ends but what chance do we have? As of the moment, NONE.
