PHL citizens are probably TIRED of floods. Some of these calamities could have been easily MANAGED or even PREVENTED; VICTIMS could have been helped BETTER, with TAX MONIES. However, BILLIONS of PESOS of collected taxes from citizens are in bank accounts of NAPOLES and her COHORTS - for personal gains and NOTHING ELSE.
