GAMBLING, GREED AND GOVERNANCE
GLOBAL FILIPINO NATION STATEMENT:
GAMBLING, GREED AND GOVERNANCE
Gov. Among Ed Panlilio exercised bold political will by filing plunder charges against the illegal gambling or jueteng establishment of Pampanga.
We denounce jueteng and unequivocally support Gov. Among Ed's campaign, reflecting our solidarity with the people of Pampanga who catapulted him to unprecedented election victory,
Gambling breeds corrosive greed and degenerate governance.
Corrosive greed distorts a person's rational balance and creates risks of drunkenness, substance abuse, debased work ethic, broken homes, hostility to society, financial ruin, theft, prostitution, suicide and murder.
Degenerate governance mirrors public officials held hostage by gambling money, breakdown in the administration of the law, hurdles to the rise of principled leaders, substandard public services, misallocation of society's potential savings, and missed opportunities for rapid economic growth cum poverty alleviation.
Illegal gambling vastly magnifies the corrosive and degenerate impact.
We call on the silent majority, especially the vigilant Filipinos -- to rally in this collective outrage aimed against a singular cause of corrosive greed and degenerate governance.
