for me, i always hope and pray for change of our leaders.

if you can see in every work and office around the world, there is corruption somewhere.

The only time these can be stopped is to change the one handling the job. This is one of the reasons why there are limits in the terms because it is human nature to manipulate things if they stay long in power specially in governments.

its better to give the leadership to opposition to always have a counter checking on previous administrations performance and anomalous works.

what i though that the terms should be shorten so that corruption will be reduced and spending during election will be lessen. there is always someone who does the checking and this can only be done if the change is made and the replacement is more credible.

I know that there is someone somewhere and great leader who will be able to lift the Philippines to better heights.

whether they earn gazillions or not, it should be them who should be taxed,.. the amount of money they get from corruption may even be larger than their salaries, the tax can be slashed from there...

bansa natin lubog na sa pamumulitika! hanggang international ba naman hinihila pa tayo pababa! nobody in our country who are politicians willingly sacrifice himself for the better of the people, everyone's plan is how to better himself! sayang namatay agad si Ramon Magsaysay Sr., mabuhay ang mga mangagawa Pinoy na pilit na inaahon ang kanilang pamilya sa kabila ng pagkukulang ng ating gobyerno! hanggang kailan pkya......?

i definitely agree with johnny...maliliit mga sweldo nila...as i could remember, the pressy's salary is less than 50K a month...that's why, sobrang corrupt nila...

25%,i dont think so...

KWENTONG BARBERO..

ano ito EUROPE? - 25%? Thats too much!

and besides, walang pakialam si GMA sa mga sweldo natin, kasi hindi tayo sa Pilipinas nag ttrabaho.. Should mag karoon man ng tax sa mga sweldo natin. Qatar ang makikinabang hindi ang Pilipinas. Pwera nalang kung kaltasan yung mga pinadala nating remittance sa Pinas.

Sa mga comment niyo po,

mjamille28 - baka mas malaki pa po ang sweldo mo sa kanya.. Government officials earn a small salary kaso lang lumalaki lang sa mga allowances nila, tsaka na rereimburse nila lahat..

Jumpinjackoo - madami nang gustong mag impeach sa kanya..majority eh nasa pwesto pa..pero walang nangyayari.. They cannot impose tax from illegal earned money.

that's not true, otherwise working abroad won't make much difference in terms of earning good money.

she better not be serious about this!! i got a suggestion for her, why not deduct such taxes to their own salary,... they earn too much anyway, for what they do to our poor country, they surely dont deserve to be earning that too much!!!
