High ranking government officials are being elected to positions that can make them appoint people of their choice and confidence in sensitive government positions or agencies. They DO NOT appoint people they dislike or they do not know. Why? It's obvious! You keep people around you as friends if you know them well and been with them for a number of years.
In many socio-civic organizations they often have, if not most, a 'Ways and Means Committee'. Usually the committee is tasked to have ways and means to uplift projects of an organization, if not for its existence. It is in this manner that politicians are trying present themselves or their platforms. Professionals might call it a marketing strategy in politics - I SIMPLY CALL IT DECEIVING THE PUBLIC! Why? Politicians, well most of them if not all, want fame and fortune. Only José Alberto Mujica Cordanoof Montevideo, Uruguay is the true politician that helps his constituents and country. He's living a simple life.
In the Philippines, only the Almighty would know where it would end up to. Sad to say that the Catholic church is meddling with politics when there is supposed to be a separation between government and religion. In several instances they were even the devil in 'sheep's clothing'.
In finality, governments and religious organizations have two things in common:
- Ask for money(tax) and donations
- Promise something (that may come true or not)
