Random thought whilst in Singapore - NAKAKAINGGIT SILA. Upon reading, corruption USED to be widespread until they had leader, Lee Kuan Yew, who had zero tolerance policy for corruption. Cut to this day, Singapore is thriving. A beautifully developed city, smooth roads, a gorgeous airport , proper public transportation, stunning infrastructure and yet I still see green around the city. Although, after reading, the temptation of greed from officials are still there BUT once they are caught they are punished immediately. Paano na tayo Pilipinas? Ano na kaya mangyayari? I pray so hard we will all collectively vote for a leader who will want to fight corruption one day. Sana talaga. Sayang ... Pilipinas. We have beautiful mountains, the best beaches and islands in the world (for me) GREED has stolen the opportunity for this country to reach its FULL beautiful potential. ☹️ sana.. Sana talaga one day. Maybe not in my lifetime but I pray for all the future filipinos. But we have to stand up for that now. Haaaaay. Naiiyak ako.

LENI: GOOD GOVERNANCE IS MY CONTRIBUTION TO NATION-BUILDING

Naga City Mayor and former Vice President Leni Robredo on Monday, November 16, said her primary focus remains on serving Naga City, even as she acknowledged the importance of staying engaged with national issues.

In a press conference with the Naga City Hall Press Corps, Robredo said that while her attention is fully on local governance, delivering honest, effective public service is itself a meaningful contribution to the country.

"Sa akin kasi, ngayon, ang lahat, 100 percent ang focus ko sa Naga. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na wala akong pakialam sa national issues," Robredo said. "May kanya-kanya kaming roles na pine-play, pero para sa akin, kung mapakita ko sa kanila na ang good governance nagta-translate sa better services to the people, iyon ang pinakamagandang kontribusyon ko."

Robredo emphasized that demonstrating clean and competent governance—especially in a city facing many challenges—helps counter the public perception that politics is inherently corrupt.

"Marami tayong ginagawa dito. Sa Naga nga, marami na tayong problema, pero ang gusto kong ipakita na kapag maganda ang paggogobyerno, malinis ang paggogobyerno, nae-equate 'yan sa mas magandang serbisyo sa tao," she said. "'Pag napakita natin 'yan, iyan ang kontribusyon natin, 'di ba? Ang kontribusyon natin sa nation building na posible."

She added that proving politics can be a force for good is part of her long-term vision.

"Kasi ngayon, 'di ba, ang pagtingin na lahat na lang daw korap, lahat na lang masama. Ang gusto nating ipakita, ang pulitika hindi 'yan masama dahil ang pulitika, vehicle 'yan to do good," Robredo said. "So iyan ang gusto nating—iyan ang inaambisyon nating kontribusyon ko."

Suddenly, you're 27.

You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.

Then you wake up, and do it all again.

And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.

How did everything pass by so quickly?

You don't even feel 27.

You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.

But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.

But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.

Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.

So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.

The point is no matter what age you are, you’ll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it’s always a good time to stop and smell the roses.

The recent acquittal of high-profile personalities accused of corruption in the PDAF scandal gives rise to the question: Do prolonged delays in the trial of corruption cases favor the accused?

When the trial of a corruption case takes a decade or more, witnesses are vulnerable: their memories can fade, they can easily lose interest in testifying (“kasi wala namang nangyayari”); and they may no longer be available to testify because they have to work abroad, get sick, or die of natural or unnatural causes. Prosecutors are just as vulnerable. Like witnesses, they can lose interest in prosecuting the case, or succumb to offers of promotion or financial gain in exchange for “going easy” on the accused. Physical and electronic evidence are also at risk: they can be misplaced, deleted or tampered. And as the years pass, the attention of the media and the public wanes, which gives officials accused of corruption the space to “operate” – to use all means, fair or foul, to sabotage the prosecution’s case or influence the decision-makers and eventually secure an acquittal.

Prolonged corruption trials not only favor the accused; they also destroy public confidence in the justice system, and corrode the people’s faith in the ability of the government to hold corrupt officials accountable—paving the way for corruption to be normalized and for impunity to take hold.

When the judiciary recently appeared before the House of Representatives to defend its budget, I was shocked to learn that there are hundreds of corruption cases that have been pending in the Sandiganbayan for over 20 years. This is totally unacceptable in a country like ours where the people are demanding public accountability.

No corruption trial should last longer than 3 years maximum; and no appeal should take longer than 2 years. Corruption cases deserve the highest priority because the victims of corruption are all of us—the people—ordinary citizens whose taxes should go to improving their quality of life, not fattening the wallets of those entrusted with government authority.

When justice is delayed in corruption cases, justice is not only denied—it is desecrated. Kaya nananawagan tayo sa Korte Suprema to impose strict time limits on the trials and appeals of corruption cases.
