Blackmail and brownout
Did you know that the Bureau of Internal Revenue has a new name? Blackmail Inorder to Raket; Bantay Inorder to Raket; Bisita Inorder to Raket, bwisita is more like it if you ask me! Of course, we all know what blackmail means. Raket is a word used by those employed or not but who do sideline work to earn extra money. Nothing wrong with doing sideline work however, if it's at the expense of other people, then no brainer, it becomes bad! Worst, if it is in the form of BLACKMAIL!
Well for some employees who work in the bureau find it more profitable to blackmail taxpayers. Of course, it's all about money... helloooo! Need I say more? For small businesses, well too bad for them but they still go through the blackmail thing and get to pay, in the process, they close down, such a pity. For the big guys in the business, too bad for them too 'cause they are expected to pay MORE blackmail money. Well, whose fault is it? The government who pays small salaries that is why these people opt to do blackmail to earn extra money? How about the person? No integrity, huh? However, there are no excuses or justifications for these people who resort to blackmail.
Shame on you bureau people! But guess what? I believe instead of sending these so-called inspectors going to all they suspect (take note!) they can do blackmail... este business with... este police possible tax evaders (kuno abi) why don't the government clean the ranks of their respective bureau first? This kind of blackmailing does not only happen of course with the BIR, it happens to almost all the government agencies in the Philippines. Oh well, asa ka pa Renette. It will never happen, suntok sa buwan! Sad and pathetic; corrupt and corrupted; seems hopeless if you ask me. Perhaps, I am just too tired of these people who take advantage of other people's vulnerability or weakness. It is cunning and sneaky. Oh well, asa ka pa Renette. It will never happen, suntok sa buwan! Same old corrupt country; and same old corrupt government employees. Nobody even tries to make a difference anymore or dares to be different by being clean and honest.

We are back to the brownout days. I am not surprised! Why am I not surprised? Oh well, even before it started we had feelers already it is going to happen. It's as if the feeler is trying to soften the blow. However, it does not soften anything at all because a brownout is a brownout. It affects everything including one's disposition for the day. When I am just having a good day... lights out! Grrrrrr...!!!
