Will there be any way for the Philippine agencies to function properly and efficiently? No hocus-pocus… No under-the-the-table transactions… Fudge!!!
I went to LTO earlier to process some documents. Before stepping on their territory, I have done my assignment already. I visited their website to double-check if my requirements were already complete. I also psyched myself not to talk to any fixer. But when I arrived at Pasay City District Office, I felt that I ought to say yes to everything. It seemed that I portrayed the role of Jim Carey in Yes Man. Grrr!!! I could have done something to say no, but I was able to do nothing. Wasn’t it genuine stupidity? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Apparently, when it comes to what we call intellectual aspects, I certainly cannot be deceived. But when it comes to the practical aspects, I feel that I am becoming dumber and dumber. F*ck! Will I just be good in the philosophy and not in the implementation? Not in all facets though, but in things like acquiring government-related credentials wherein you have to deal with diverse people—many of which have made fooling other individuals as a way of living.
Will there be any way for the Philippine agencies to function properly and efficiently? I am positive that there will be, but it will be a long and tedious refurbishment. It will really take time to make each person, or each Filipino in particular, realize how integrity must be valued. For now, we are left with no choice but to bear the never-ending lines, gazillion seconds of wait time, and many (again, it’s many, not all) money-driven government employees in the local agencies like Land Transportation Office. The choice is ours to say a yes or a no.
