We Need The Cheka!

Cheka is the Russian version for Secret Police. In the Philippines, it seems nobody is policing the Local Government Units (LGUs). The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) is powerless. Why? Well, ask them. They're gonna tell you that they are only tasked to supervise the LGUs, not to police them. If that's the case, then who will police them?, I asked. None, the DILG answered. Ergo, corruption is everywhere. This thing called CORRUPTION has been clothed clandestinely... in a friendly sheep's clothing... SOP. For most of us, it means Standard Operating Procedure. But... hey, look closely, it suggests an "under the table" transaction which became standard in some LGUs. Most of the people in LGUs think SOP is a legal thing. If one asks "how much is the SOP?", then one has to answer either 30, 50, 60% or even more, depending on the avarice of the government official or employee.

I believe that governments were created to promote discipline, order, and balance in a chaotic society of barbaric and opportunistic individuals. If there is no discipline and order, then there is no right for such government to exist.
