THE COMMISSION'S COMMISSION

I remember my professor way back in my college years, he was our professor on our major subject on public governance, he is actually the former commisioner of COA, i couldnt help but remember him, as ive watched the news about the different scandals and issues the COMELEC is facing and previous controversies that involves the agency. Of course as a taxpayer i dont want to be silent about this matters especially if it involves the credibility of this department. They are not controlled by any executive or maybe under controlled by any department. They are independent body like COA. I use to admire COMELEC before because of course of the great performance they once had and the good track record they have, but now after all that came out, my confidence towards this body seems to lose and worst im losing it. From the ballot secrecy folder to the indelible ink and now to the new issue about the warehouse that theyre using for the temporary storage of the elections paraphernalias, i mean the auditing body has reported that COMELEC could save a lot if they have build their own warehouse than renting a figure of millions of pesos every month. I dont understand why it end up this way and i dont understand too why this issues came out just now, when their are commisions who oversee the expenses of every department but sad to say they have toleratde this things.
I remember a friend of mine who use to pay 9k a month for his tax, she is complaining about how gogevrnement is very aggresive in getting tax from every working individual when sadly it just goes to one's pocket. I hope thsi coming new adminastration, reform will takes place and of course hopefully our confidence to the goverment will eventually be back. Its us who make sthis government survives. I hope once and for all, its for us and for us alone that will be the best interest.
