Secondly, usually, it is people who do not like the Chinese who sees them as just milking cows. So it is they who will accept "lagay" or "suhol" or "donations" or more accurately, "ransom money".
Officials who are genuinely sympathetic witht eh Chinese-descended eletorate do not ask for money directly (but of course they would accept if given freely).

Man, you are so serious. You took that statement word for word.
You are correct. In every word... except that your last paragraph is REALLY... funny. "Officials who are genuinely sympathetic witht eh Chinese-descended eletorate do not ask for money directly " Now, I wonder WHERE we can find someone like that in the government. People like that NEVER will be successful in the Philippine Government. Maybe a barangay captain in some remote area, maybe? But as that person climbs the gov't ladder... poof will his honesty go!
Arroyo just made a statement a few weeks ago... "... when you are in the gov't, it is VERY difficult to keep your hands clean." Or whatever it is exactly she said. It is IMPOSSIBLE to be honest in the gov't. And we all know what they do to honest people... They either KILL them, or destroy their reputation and family.
