Pitong araw na lamang bago sumapit ang Pasko.
Pero naghihintay at umaasa pa rin ang maraming Pilipino na matutupad ang sinabi ni President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na magpa-Pasko sa kulungan ang mga sangkot sa mga anomalya sa flood control at infrastructure projects ng Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

ANNE CURTIS COMPARES PHILIPPINES TO SINGAPORE
Ang malawakang korapsyon at katiwalian sa pamahalaan ni Marcos Jr., dahil sa kasakiman ng mga namumuno, ang isa sa mga nagpapalungkot sa aktres na si Anne Curtis.
Nakaramdam din si Anne ng inggit nang magpunta siya sa Singapore kamakailan.
Kaya hindi niya napigilan ang sarili na ikumpara sa Pilipinas ang Singapore sa X post kahapon, Disyembre 17, 2025.
Sentimiyento ni Anne, na isa sa top celebrity taxpayers sa Pilipinas: “Random thought whilst in Singapore - NAKAKAINGGIT SILA.
"Upon reading, corruption USED to be widespread until they had leader, Lee Kuan Yew, who had zero tolerance policy for corruption.
“Cut to this day, Singapore is thriving. A beautifully developed city, smooth roads, a gorgeous airport, proper public transportation, stunning infrastructure and yet I still see green around the city.
“Although, after reading, the temptation of greed from officials are still there BUT once they are caught they are punished immediately.
"Paano na tayo Pilipinas? Ano na kaya mangyayari?
"I pray so hard we will all collectively vote for a leader who will want to fight corruption one day. Sana talaga.”

Nanghihinayang daw si Anne dahil, ayon sa kanya: "Sayang... Pilipinas. We have beautiful mountains, the best beaches and islands in the world (for me).
“GREED has stolen the opportunity for this country to reach its FULL beautiful potential.
“Sana…sana talaga one day. Maybe not in my lifetime but I pray for all the future Filipinos. But we have to stand up for that now. Haaaaay. Naiiyak ako.”
Bilyun-bilyong piso ang ninakaw ng mga akusado sa flood control at infrastructure projects ng DPWH na isang matibay na patunay na maraming pera ang ating bansa, at isa ito sa mga pinuna ni Anne.
Himutok niya: “Dami pala pera ng Pilipinas noh? But all the budget that should have been towards healthcare or education eh napunta sa luxury cars, houses and I’m sure that money is in offshore accounts now.
“So sad that we will never be able to get that money back. So sad that it will never be used for the better of the people noh?”
