Poverty Continues In the Philippines

Under PeNoy, the gap between the rich and the poor widens
The other day, I got an email which is actually a transcription of an interview that TV5 with one Rosalinda Garcia, indigent in Tondo.

I was so moved by the story.  Her story is something that the whole nation should know.  Poverty remains an issue after four years of Aquino rule.

This made me thinking, there must be truth in Aquino's campaign slogan "Kung Walang Kurap, Walang Mahirap."   The impoverishment of more Filipinos, which is at highest historical levels, is because of the prevalent corruption.  All these news on PDAF and DAP and how Aquino and his allies have been stealing and misusing people's money are all but answers to the nagging question of why poverty continues in the Philippines.
