Public Servants or Self Serving?

Comment from a reader on "Titles Swiped By Dick":

Don't forget Sierra Beach Resort, which is now a slum.

and another:

Does it mean that if its a national or public land, it belongs to the gordon? Hahaha!!!! Landgrabber gordons, that's the thruth!!!!A bunch of robbers and corrupt officials!!!!!!

and another:

Will the corruption and plunder ever stop in this country? Lies, cheating and stealing are a game in our society. The officials of SBMA and Olongapo are heavily involved in this game.

Government officials are supposed to be servants of the people but they don't even bother to answer our questions and complaints. The old "base" is beginning to look like the rest of this country.

No money is being invested in new infrastructure and nothing is being maintained like it was when the U.S. Navy was here almost 20 years ago already. What a disgrace. Like the Koreans are doing, you have to succumb to bribes to get government officials to do even a minimal job.

WHY WOULD ANYONE BE SO FOOLISH TO RISK ANY INVESTMENT HERE???

[The Subic Bulletin] The same could really be said for anywhere in the Philippines, if you choose an attractive place to invest someone will always want to unlawfully make it their own, so choose wisely.
