The whole country here is embroiled in a scandal hearing the last couple weeks.
Iran contra style hearings, everyone glued to the hearings on TV and phone.
The flooding has revealed that all the recent flood control projects here have been... Ghost projects
Billions of pesos, translates to hundreds of millions of USD, all paid for projects never done.
Today's special was some dickhead engineer, tasked with inspection and signing off the projects, on live teevee.
He must be some sort of genius (sarcasm) as he somehow has multiple Lamborghini Uru cars on a monthly salary before tax of $1250usd.
Cue the chorus of angelic boys choir. It is a miracle.
Meanwhile, I'm having lunch at the usual spot. 75 peso lunch of rice, scrambled egg, chicken breast and a 16 peso coffee.
Everyone at the counter gossiping about the hearings. I.had a laugh, and said..let me introduce you to Nancy Pelosi and AOC. They were stunned, cause the Filipino hijinks were tiny compared to the USA congress.
So I'm eating my lunch and had Alex Jones on the phone. The woman and her husband were listening in on the show. It was Alex talking about the trafficking and slave labor.
The Filipinos were stunned. As this news never makes it internationally.
