Making It Fun in the Philippines

The corruption and the rampant stupidity of the Bureau of Customs  (BOC) has all been about being unreasonable on normal citizens. You have them making people pay unjust fees while dangerous stuff like imported garbage, fake food products and narcotics making it in. As long as there's a lot of corrupt people at the BOC then expect all those dangerous stuff that I mentioned earlier and many more to enter the Philippines. The simple keywords are "bribery" and "corruption". The bigger problem is not bribery but people who accept the bribes. All the BOC may be caring about is their money than public interest.

I'd really want to start first with verifying what legalized theft means. Legalized theft means to use one's power or position to acquire money from people for personal gain, supposedly granting immunity to being convicted of theft even when theft is done or when a person gets legal protection to protect him or her from the legal penalties agaisnt theft. In the Philippines where people mistake democracy for impunity , then it's only normal that a nation occupied with a culture of impunity are bound (and they deserve) to really have impunity in its government. How is legalized theft more fun in the Philippines? It doesn't take a genius to figure out the bracket of the ASEAN where taxes worth PHP 500,000.00 are charged at 32% while an archipelago like Malaysia only gets 11% for maximum taxes is very unjust. When Mar Roxas started to say that there's nothing wrong with the current constitution, he better realize that our tax rates are also very high. It's absol...

When I heard of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) with what they have been doing with balikbayan boxes, I soon started to remember the current problems that also plague the Philippines. Aside from imported garbage, I really dare to say that the BOC is also responsible to why the international syndicates could easily do business in the Philippines. Aside from money under the table with the National Bureau of Investigation maybe better called the Bureau of Impunity, we can also blame customs for the slippage of stuff like fake rice and narcotics slipping into the Philippines by huge amounts. I mean shouldn't the BOC really check out for real problems and not just balikbayan boxes which could just be scanned? Are they strict or are they just playing favoritism and power play? While a lot of Filipinos are irrationally blaming all of China for bringing in drugs to the Philippines, while I do acknowledge that the drug dealers were in fact Chinese, did they ever bother to question why the...
