Philippine Election absurdities

On TV, political candidates are proudly announcing that they did something that is making life better in the Philippines. Someone claims that he made hospitalization free for the sick, Someone claims that he caused good paying work from home setup, ... You hear a lot. The ordinary people tend to believe them even if they do not see real manifestations of what these politicians are claiming. When was life better in this country when everything calls for a payment? The reality is, Filipinos are working hard to be able to pay taxes, to be able to buy essentials and pay additional tax for it, to be able to raise funds to be given as salaries to these politicians.
