Sporting events like the Olympics or the Southeast Asian Games should be a wake-up call to a lot of Filipinos. Our athletes bust their asses day in and day out in training; they do their jobs to the best of their ability. They do their jobs even without a guaranteed budget because the money that should be given to them are stolen by politicians.
When are we going to demand that those useless pabigats and epals and sarap-buhays in Malacañang, in the Senate, in Congress, and in city halls all over the country do their jobs for a change? And, more importantly, not steal from the public coffers? What's worse is that these scumbags even have the audacity to steal the spotlight from our athletes when they win medals and bring pride and honor to the country.
We demand a lot from our athletes. We should demand more from our public servants.
