The Final Solution

Tired of the usual rhetoric our so-called "righteous politicians" profess when it comes tocorruption? Here's an idea...
Politicians and government officials charged with corruption shall be deemed GUILTY until proven otherwise...and the burden of proof for their innocence shall rest SQUARELY on the accused shoulders.
For the accusers, They MUST provide solid evidence that can stand solidly against the court's rigorous scrutiny. If they were found to be false, then THEY will suffer the same faith as the accused.
These measures ensure that the accused cannot manipulate the legal system to turn it in its favor or use sloppy police/investigative work to dismiss the case.
It also prevents the accuser from wrongfully accusing an innocent person lest he suffers the same faith as the accused.
Rationale: Politicians and government officials EVERYWHERE are perceived to be corrupt, no matter what color, race, or creed. Honest politicians and government officials only exist in movies and idealized novels/stories.
If Penoy applied this idea, maybe he'll finally lead us to his "matuwid na landas".

Tell me your name and I'll tell you your destiny!

Maximo Peligro
At first glance, the guy sounded like a lead character from an action movie or an RPG game.
In reality, that is the name of the driver who drove that ill-fated bus that left 5 persons dead.
Scary isn't it.
Another name might get more than usual attention:
John Longstaff
Why? Go figure.
