Eyrhil Tom E. Bulahan, a resident of Zamboanga, took these pictures on September 9, 2013 when one soldier ask him  for food. He shared the photos through social network site Facebook. He narrates  how a soldier approached him and asked him in the local (bisayan) dialect if they had any leftover rice for them as they had run out of food and had not eaten since early that morning, " bai? naa moy kanun or bahaw bsan gamay lang wala pa man gud mi nagkaon ganina buntag pa and walay tulog." (Mama? Wala ba kayong kainin jan na khit sunog na or yung tira tirang pagkain na hnd niyo na kakainin wala pa kase kameng kain simula kaninang madaling araw at wala pang tulog).”

With the calamity going on in the Philippines, there is no doubt that floods are the results of constantly voting these corrupt politicians who lives comfortably in their air conditioned mansions out of stealing money from the taxpayers. Do they have conscience? No, they don't! The effect can be seen every time there is rain and typhoon, flooding is expected in Metro Manila and nearby places. It's just frustrating that the Filipino people are the only ones to be blamed for putting them in the position.

People keep throwing trash anywhere. Clogged  canals and waterways, where large squatter communities lives. Vote-buying in Philippine slums are the reason why unscrupulous politicians leads the country. Filipinos left the country to work abroad because there are no opportunities for them, monthly salary is not enough to give family a decent life. Squatters are occupying the whole country and so are the corrupt politicians. More squatter means more votes for them.

As a result of politicians constant stealing, flooding has become a part of Filipino life.  Government do not care about auditing and monitoring  where the tax money goes to. If they will only wake up, then we will have better roads and flood ways. Recently, one of the  most powerful typhoon hits the Philippines that caused death and destruction.
