To give a simple definition of a career politician who makes politics his / her main source of his / her income – & # 39; s bread and butter for the survival of the family, genus, or a dependent.
This is the image of the modern Philippine politics, where the vast majority who are currently holding elected posts in politics you step into a profitable, lucrative business.
I can see the notion of politics ROI or "return on investment." No wonder that aspiring managers are willing to spend a lot of money in the elections, because the back of their minds they hope an ROI if you ever elected.
If the policy is regarded as a career? No, it can not be. Because when you look at that way, the noble and the real motive for seeking public position is lost forever. To make the policy a & # 39; s personal career, to disarm the public. As we all know, public confidence in the civil service, and this is a personal choice of a person who thinks that the skills, education, training and a willingness to humans, and initiate positive change in the community.
What happens when politics becomes a career politicians? In other areas, the profession whose professional career is a challenging opportunity as not to excel at all times, innovate, and improve your skills in order to be recognized among others. That good at what you do will certainly be beneficial to the community. In other words, a truly commendable career outside politics.
Not so when politics becomes a career to one. This is useful for society? The obvious answer is no. It is only beneficial who makes a career in politics. By making politics a source of income, the politicians have lost touch with reality. His decision was motivated by money now. He just wants to enrich himself. He wants to accumulate wealth at the expense of more substantive common good. The idea is to serve people in remote or the politician who has a career in politics. In the end, people are suffering, programs and projects aimed at the components that are used as channels of personal income.
This is precisely the reason why traditional politicians (trap) can not and should not completely abandon the policy after the end of their term. After realizing that there is so much money to get out of politics, they become obsessed with staying in power forever, which is essential for the survival of the bank. In their minds, they think that you are in politics not have to work hard to ensure that the food on the table. In our language, it aptly, "Dawat-limpyo." How convenient.
If you look at one of the root causes of poverty in the nation, this is due to the fact that politicians only career in politics. The wealth of the nation is no longer goes to the general population, but the few who were lording over us. What is the purpose of the people go to their pockets. Consequently, poverty is a cancer, it is almost impossible to cure the same brand of political leadership today.
If you also look at the seemingly endless political violence aggravating months before the election, we will come to a tactile concluded that career politicians They are blamed. Why would a person kills his neighbor, if all you want is to serve the public? Well, a politician killed another politician, because he thinks the other a threat to the financial survival, a threat to your bank account. It fears that if he is no longer in public office, could not be more food on the table.
looks like us, are infected with career politicians in our province.
