Reasons why elected officials become corrupt once they’re in power. (Includes Tagalog translation)
In position there is money and power
Money for projects and development
And power to implement the law,
power to fight criminal elements
The problem is, they can’t resist these;
First – the love of money, and
Second – the abuse of power
The very root of graft and corruption.
Once they are already in position
They don’t want to leave anymore
That is why politics in many countries
Is a family business for those in power
If the person in position can’t run for office
anymore, the brother, or one of the siblings,
or the wife, or any member of the clan will run
Money for the country goes to their pockets
Involvement in scams/scandals is frequent
because they had became slaves of money,
and had abused their power and authority
that’s why progress can never be attained.
Sa poder may pera, may kapangyarihan
salaping nakalaan sa pagsulong at pag-unlad
kapangyarihan para sa pagpapatupad ng mga batas
at panglaban sa mga masasama sa lipunan
subalit kadalasan,hindi napaglalabanan
ang pagkasilaw at pagkagahaman sa pera
kaakibat ng pang-aabuso sa kapangyarihan
na humahantong sa korapsyon at katiwalian
kaya pag naranasan ng nasa pwesto
ayaw na halos nila itong bitawan
kaya ang pulitika sa ating bansa
negosyo ng mga nakapuwestong pamilya
pag di na puwedeng tumakbo ang ama
papalit ang kapatid, anak o asawa
o sinuman sa mga kasapi ng pamilya
perang laan sa bayan,sila lang ang nakikinabang
madalas na sangkot sa katiwalian
dahil naging alipin ng salapi’t
nalasing sa kapangyarihan
kayat wala ng pag-unlad na maaasahan
