From the Philippine STAR:
WB-banned firm bags P100-M road contract
A public works contractor blacklisted by the World Band for alleged collusive practices with corrupt officials has bagged a P100-million contract with the government.
"There is no sufficient proof of collusion,: Mercado said. "Even the World Band report states that collusion is 'more likely than not.'".
Excuse me? The proof of collusion is that the government still allowed a suspected company to get the contract! Why not just get a totally new company to handle it? The World Bank has warned us already, so why go through with it?
I just finished reading the Watchmen graphic novel, and I think Rorschach said it best:
The world will look up and shout "Save us!"... And I'll whisper "No."
We deserve this government because we are blind and we are apathetic.
