Errand boys with multimillion-peso paychecks

We read with unspeakable outrage the news, “Calida among top 10 highest-paid in gov’t” (6/28/18), detailing the millions of pesos of taxpayer money public officials are helping themselves to.

While the President who runs the whole country receives only about P2.5 million a year, the errand boys appointed by him to help him run the country receive between P12 million-plus and P14 million-plus a year?

And they say public service is such a thankless job. Let’s cut the BS! Seriously, with so much taxpayer money to pocket, who needs gratitude?
