An Example of Corruption in it’s Simplest Way

My brother was shot by our city mayor’s son. Actually they had a rumble, and since this other guy is a politician’s son, he’s very much aggressive and confident in pointing the gun to my brother as if he was doing the right thing, this big headed guy is also known for his immature and futile doings. Well, the rest is history.

 

We intend to blotter the incident though at the side of our minds, justice in this place is quite impossible knowing the involved is the son of our town head. But early in the morning, policemen and the right hand of our mayor went to the hospital, also at home. Their asking for an amicable settlement, not bad, so at least they recognized what did happen. So yes, some of them are policemen, so what’s the use of this blotter thing. They said, do the possible and maximum medical treatment for my brother. They will shoulder the hospitalization. He was actually shot below the knee, and a nerve was damaged. An operation has been done.

 

Oh, I’m getting too far from my title. So, that’s it. During the confinement of my brother in the hospital, we received a total amount of thirty four thousand from them. Then the final bill reached about one hundred and ten thousand pesos.

 

So what’s this corruption thing does about this? We have no against the thought of the mayor that what he can give is only ninety thousand pesos, he said he’s son was not the only person joined the rumble, as a matter of fact, he was also hurt. Well yes, okay fine. But all through out the negotiation, the mayor never faced us, just his administrator. I don’t know if this administrator can be trusted and relaying the exact messages. And upon receiving the said ninety thousand pesos, my mom did not count the money as soon as she reached home….. And it was only eighty eight thousand pesos….
