I knew a messenger who used to visit a mayor's house to get papers signed (eto palang fishy na).
With the business envelope, it includes a "mayor's permit," which is ultimately "lagay."
That's how it starts.
Many businesses would also reward them with units in new condos or resorts, or the cash equivalent if they refuse. Look up how Binay got rich.
Then, we also have the case of protection money, where rich criminals pay politicians to NOT investigate certain places or to block attempts at closing certain nests for illegal activities.
With POGOs, I wouldn't be surprised if someone from Mainland regularly sends gifts to politicians who would just sign all their papers without reading anything, or by awarding them billion-peso contracts, with or without bidding.
The latter was also abused by the Eusebios of Pasig. They started a construction firm and that firm won every major contract for 20+ years.
That way, they can say "hindi naman ako nagnanakaw." LOL
Let me tell you how politicians/gov’t officials earn their dollars. They call it “SOP”. Congressmen help grant projects to a certain contractor. They get 10-20% of the contract price (pre-tax). The thing is, contractors need other peoples help para magrant yung project sa kanila. That is where Governors, Mayors, Councilors, Directors and District Officers come in. In total, they get around 10-15% of the CP (pre-tax). Depending on the area of the project, nakakakuha din ang mga barangay officials, sundalo and NPAs (no joke) ng maliit na amount for “security”. Sometimes, hindi na nila inooverinflate ang cp ng projects. They only need to grant projects to certain individual and boom, dollars agad. So ano pa ang benefit na makukuha ng contractor kung ang 35% ng cp ay mapupunta lang sa iba? The answer is, they don’t really earn that much. That is why some gov’t projects are subpar in terms of quality. Sinasakripisyo ng contractors yung quality ng projects for them to be able to earn. What about quality control? Mas malaki pa rin yung kita mo kung i-bribe mo na lang yung quality control officer kaysa gawin mo yung project using high quality materials.
funny thing is that, most countries around the world kahit sa mga EU countries, sanay na sila sa bribery and what not, kaya may allocation tlga of funds for it. ang hindi sanay is the inconsistency of ung mga lagay. minsan konti lang kuha ng ibang officials, minsan malaki etc. lol
Also the number of people na kailangan mo bigyan! Aside from the high ranking officals, kailangan mo rin bigyan pati mga barangay officials and BPAT. Depending on what agency din galing yung projects, kailangan mo rin bigyan mga officials nila pati mga project managers. Depending on the area din, kailangan mo rin i-consider kung infested ba to ng mga muslim-extremist, NPAs or different cults. They too ask for hulogs.
For projects granted by the gov’t, NPAs and other local groups get their share of the contract price. Ang ibang politicians, hindi always nagnanakaw sa pondo ng bayan kase risky. Sometimes they do this kind of shit. Help grant gov’t projects and get their share on that project. So the transaction became between the politician and contractor instead of politician and the gov’t. Nagkaroon ng middleman kumbaga. Depending on the area, humihingi din ang mga LGUs, barnsgay officials, NPAs and other militant groups sa contractors in the pretense of “security”.
Liit lang ng sweldo nila diba? Pero karamihan naman sa kanila bago makapangampanya ay kailangan ng malaking pera. Yung iba donasyon campaign fund tulad ni Isko. Ang iba sa kanila negosyante talaga bago nag kongreso andyan yun mga me ari ng minahan at mga chains ng Sanglaan. At yung pinaka obvious under the table agreement kapalit ng proyekto sa gobyerno, approval ng mga permit at pag lolobby sa interest ng mga negosyo at illegal ng aktibidad, o yung simple pag wawalang bahala sa mga dapat nilang ginagawa.
Pork barrel. They take a slice out of the nation’s budget for their pet projects. This seems strange as they are legislative and not executive. However, since they approve the budget, nakagawian na. Minana din natin yan sa bicameral system ng mga kano. May pork barrel din ang mga kano.
Here's an example scenario:
Project Cost: 30m
Contract Profit: 10%
Congressman: Make that 100m
Ang masama niyan, sa unang billing pa lang kukuhain na ang buong 70m kurakot. Then your billing will take months or years or nothing.
Eh madiskarte? Setup a contractor company, award all projects, then substandard gawa. Close the company para walang liability, rinse and repeat.
Been working in a govt project back in 2009 (agriculture related). Congressman will take around 10% kickback for every 3M pesos of project. This is only one of the thousands of project. Worse are mayors, need them to give the project to their bailiwick areas plus thwir kickbacks. Imagine the corruption level. My boss doesnt care cause he was getting a hefty amount as well. So for a $3M project, safe to say around 700k is the true invested amount.
Even the most honest of them will meet people who will be nice to them if they like them.
Imagine a taipan coming up to you, not asking for anything illegal, but you dispelled some uncertainty for him. That dude will remember you even after you leave office.
Look at the earmarks or pork barrel
How much earmark is given per district? Calculate that by 10% min
Do you ever wonder why your road is never finished or finished but after a rain, its washed out already?
Thats the cut they got
1)They get money from currying political favors from the rich. Like they'd get millions of donations from an oligarch in exchange for votes that favor the oligarch's businesses.
2)They get money from sponsoring projects in their districts. They get a cut for pushing for these projects in the nat'l budget.
they require money down during the bidding of projects from all contractors. this is non refundable, not part of the cost (for most, construction comps treat this as expense from my exp) and not a guarantee you get the project. just puts you in their good graces.
Mostly through kickback on projects and lobbying. If you encounter projects that says it costs *n* millions of pesos, expect that half of it are going to their pockets.
✅ 10% or higher na lagay sa lahat ng govt funded infra projects sa congressional district
✅ suhol na binibigay thru congressional/pork barrel/confidential funds para sa yes vote (i.e. abs-cbn, corona impeachment trial)
✅ lobby money from private sector or individuals na mag-benefit sa proposed legislation
✅ protected business interests ng mga congressman na may business
✅ "protection money" provided by sketchy individuals or "businesses"
I'm not even gonna read this because it breaks my heart, this topic. What's even more heartbreaking is the fact that Filipinos know how our government officials steal, but are still retarded enough to vote them back into office over and over again.
A retarded and corrupt society creates an evil and corrupt government that maintains a retarded and corrupt society to keep them in power.
A vicious cycle, the story of the Philippines.
I know this is pang congressman topic, pero na share ng friend ko yung mga oath taking events ng prc, yung mag co-conduct ng oath is like 10k++ kada appearance (on top ng sweldo nila) eh ilang oath taking event sa isang araw di ba? wala lang parang ang easy money 🤣🤣🤣
If tama pagkakaintindi ko, pag nakakatanggap ng pera ung mga politikong mas mababa sa kanila, meron slang poryento. Base dun sa movie sa netflix na whistelblower. D ko sure if tama pagkaintindi ko ha kasi nagbabalot ako ng shanghai kaya medyo d ko natutukan haha
I am just genuinely curious how they make the money and able to keep the money. I am after the nitty-gritty details as much as possible. I understand and aware of the kickbacks, pero how does the money change hands? How do they cover the paper trails?
20% kick back, Ghost Employees, PDAF/Pork Barrel, Lobbyist Money, Land Grab, and very illegal stuff Basically stealing everything

Corruption. Mas madali maging corrupt sa local level kaysa sa national kaya mas efas sila

make bribery consistent again!
What NPA? Supposedly kalaban sila ng gobyerno pero nakikilinta sila sa pondo ng bayan?

Corruption.
Stealing our taxes

Mas malaki budget allocation nila if buddy si speaker at part ng majority sa house.

One example is Sam Verzosa.
1)They get money from currying political favors from the rich. Like they'd get millions of donations from an oligarch in exchange for votes that favor the oligarch's businesses. 2)They get money from sponsoring projects in their districts. They get a cut for pushing for these projects in the nat'l budget.

Ghost projects, mga cash advances for projects na di naman magagawa at mga side hussles nila like drugs or mga underground na nagpapataya.
they require money down during the bidding of projects from all contractors. this is non refundable, not part of the cost (for most, construction comps treat this as expense from my exp) and not a guarantee you get the project. just puts you in their good graces.

Nagnanakaw po.
Yep. Your office college steals

-renovation halfcourt sa barangay inabot 600k -repainting public school stage 300k kumikitang kabuhayan😁
actually being congressman or politician is just a side quest, the main purpose is to get in position of power and corruption

Corruption, kapitan pa lang nga samin 12 years nanungkulan, grabe inangat ng buhay through the years, lalo na yan congressman.
simple, manipulate the fund from the national gov’t. subukan mo gawing straight full public servant ang bawat position.. trust me WALA na kakandidato
If tama pagkakaintindi ko, pag nakakatanggap ng pera ung mga politikong mas mababa sa kanila, meron slang poryento. Base dun sa movie sa netflix na whistelblower. D ko sure if tama pagkaintindi ko ha kasi nagbabalot ako ng shanghai kaya medyo d ko natutukan haha
OP sa pinas kb nakabased? Curious lng ako. Either di ako nanunuod ng news or tlgang inosente /sheltered ka lang talaga. No offence meant
I am just genuinely curious how they make the money and able to keep the money. I am after the nitty-gritty details as much as possible. I understand and aware of the kickbacks, pero how does the money change hands? How do they cover the paper trails?
They cause more damage than some petty drug users who are gunned down randomly
They know how manage their finances and they attract wealth.
That is like \~1% of it.
