Corruption a cancer to the Government

If we would talk about corruption the first thought that would come to mind are the people involved in politics. Precisely, if we would mention them all it might occupy the whole page. However, there was this prominent man who was linked to the issue of corruption. Apparently, rumors are circulating that the first gentleman Mike Arroyo was allegedly questioned to be one of the most corrupt people in the country.


Basically when the issue came out like what the showbiz people do, Mr. Arroyo definitely denied that he’s a corrupt. In that case, the people would not easily reckon that kind of testimony. According to the articles the first gentleman was quoted to be the jueteng lord in the country. In an article I read, "The First Gentleman and Rep. Arroyo shouldn't be defended and protected by Malacanang and President Gloria without first allowing investigations to take place. None of the scandals involving the First gentleman have been allowed to come completely to light, and it's without a doubt because Malacanang has put its foot down against any close inquiries into his business affairs and involvements. Mike Arroyo may not be an elected public official, but he still nonetheless holds a position of power and influence that he has constantly been accused of abusing and exploiting to amass ill-gotten wealth." I believe so, it appears that the pieces of evidence were strong enough to prove the issue. Unfortunately, these important facts were being interfered because it could be the end of their secret lies. It would sound ironic but corrupt leaders were the cancer of the government. It’s just so sad that most of the people who does it and leaving there mess without giving any resolution are those who are in higher position.
