Snippet:
DISASTERS from the past week expose the same issue: corruption in the government. In Calumpit, Bulacan — a town with dozens of flood-control projects worth over P2 billion — an entire village went underwater, and the local government was forced to declare a state of calamity, with more than 150,000 residents affected.
