Corruption - Historical in the Philippines

Feb. 3,2012 My dear et al, Corruption in the Philippines in this 21st century? Take a good look at corruption in the Philippines during the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th century. Jose Rizal wrote in 1886: “In the catalogue of human ills there is to be found a cancer so malignant that the least touch inflames it and cause agonizing pains; afflicted with such a cancer, a social cancer, and seeking the best care for your ills, I shall do with you what was done in ages past with the sick. I shall endeavor to show your condition, faithfully and ruthlessly. I shall lift a corner of the veil which shrouds the disease, sacrificing to the truth everything, even self-love – for, as your son, your defects and weaknesses are also mine.” Today in our sick society, millions upon millions of college-educated Pinoys and Pinays hardly know the real Jose Rizal as one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever produced. Under pains of going to hell forever, millions of Filipinos have been frightened to believe that before he was executed by firing squad, as authorized by the power of the Catholic church, - Rizal cried like a little boy, begged to go to confession, heard mass, received communion, and retracted. After which dead, he was not even given a Catholic burial. His remains just put inside an old sack and then thrown in Paco cemetery. I asked it before, I ask it again: do you people see now why as products of schools, colleges, and universities owned by the Catholic church we Filipinos continue to suffer from CORRUPTION of the worst kind: The CORRUPTION OF THE FILIPINO MIND AS A PEOPLE and the CORRUPTION OF THE FILIPINO HEART AS A NATION.
