Former Philippines lawmaker arrested for pocketing millions in flood aid

Comments

1. Sofia Haile: yeah because we need a new breed of politicians who actually steal more than their predecessor. 'flood aid' indeed
2. Arlo: that's the kind of corruption people want more talk about, not politics
3. Aiden: can't believe it took this long for someone to get caught, all this money meant for actual flood victims instead of lining someone's pockets
4. Miawex: stealing from disaster relief funds is the worst possible kind of corruption
5. Isla: this is exactly how we end up with corrupt officials holding public office again
6. Nina: another case where corruption siphons off funds meant to help those in need. when are we going to see some actual accountability in this region? ⚖️
7. Elinrossi: amazing how they let it slide for so long, no wonder the Philippines is still struggling with floods, corruption at every level
8. June: corruption always seems to find a way in during disaster recovery, sad reality in so many places
