EPISODO 1
Iisang halibawa ng pangyayari ay ang corruption. Ito ay nangyari sa unang episodo ng Trese kung saan nakipagsunduan ang mayor sa mga aswang upang siya ay manalo sa paparating na eleksyon at hindi madumihan ang kanyang pangalan. Kagaya nung mayor sa ganap sa Trese ay korupt din ang gobyerno natin sa sarili nating bansa. Ang aming mga pampublikong resources na hindi naitupad ay hindi lamang sayang sa pera kundi pati na rin ng panahon. Ang mga senador, kongresista at iba pang mga pampublikong opisyal ay maaaring gumamit ng milyun-milyon o kahit bilyun-bilyong pampublikong pera para sa kanilang sariling interes. Higit pa rito, maaari rin silang gamitin sa maling paraan ang mga oras o taon sila ay dapat na maging ang paggamit sa mga makabuluhang pagkilos. Sa kasamaang palad, ang ilan o karamihan sa kanila ay nagsasayang lang ng oras na ibinigay ng mga tao sa kanila upang gawin nang maayos ang kanilang trabaho.

MANILA, Philippines-"If I fail, kill me."

This was Rodrigo Duterte's dare to the public, as a presidential candidate then, should he fail to stop corruption in the first six months of his term as President.

This was back in January 2016. In May that year, he was elected and assumed the presidency a month after.

Five years into his post, Duterte, short of throwing his hands in the air out of exasperation, admitted eradicating corruption was "impossible."

Lucky for him, people took his bluff seriously enough to vote for him but not seriously enough to actually execute his challenge.

It is worth noting that his administration was dogged by scandals and allegations of graft and coverups in state agencies-from prisons, the state health insurer, immigration, Customs, and law enforcement. Few led to convictions or high-profile resignations.

To his credit, Duterte did exert an effort to curb government corruption, apart from repeatedly expressing his frustration and saying he would resign due to it.

In 2020, he ordered the creation of a task force to probe corruption across all government agencies, including lawmakers and local executives like mayors and governors.

The task force, which was to be led by the Department of Justice, was ordered to focus on the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

So far, it has received over 200 complaints and has acted on 40 reports since its creation, most of which involved public works projects. No cases have been filed yet, however.

Aside from this, Duterte has also used his public addresses, which were supposed to be for updates on the government's COVID-19 response, to announce the names of officials either suspended or dismissed due to graft and corruption. He even went as far as naming lawmakers allegedly linked to corruption, but quickly adding that there was no hard evidence against them.

He has also fired, or at least vowed to fire, corrupt government officials, even with just a "whiff of corruption." Interestingly, while some government officials accused of corruption have resigned, he reappointed them, anyway.

As Duterte is set to deliver his final State of the Nation Address (Sona), INQUIRER.net looks back at the major corruption issues that plagued his administration and hit the headlines and how he handled the issue.

P6.4-billion 'shabu' smuggling in 2017

A total of 605 kilos of crystal meth or "shabu" worth P6.4-billion was smuggled in the country and got past what should have been tight screening by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) in May 2017.

The billions of pesos worth of shabu, which was lodged in five metal cylinders and came from China and went through the Manila International Container Port (MICT), was discovered in a warehouse in Valenzuela City, already out of the Customs premises, and was seized by authorities.

Through congressional hearings, it was uncovered that several BOC officials, including then Customs Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon, were allegedly involved in the smuggling, according to the statements by Customs broker Ruben Taguba.

Faeldon was even detained from September 2017 to March 2018 at the Senate as well as Pasay City Jail for refusing to participate in the investigation.

Even Duterte's son, Paolo, who was Davao city mayor at the time, along with Paolo's brother-in-law Manases Carpio, were tagged in the controversy by then Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV.

Trillanes also tagged the younger Duterte as a member of the Chinese organized crime gang Triad, claiming the then vice mayor had a dragon tattoo on his back.

In August 2017, Sen. Panfilo Lacson, in a privilege speech, revealed the "tara system" in the BOC where officials and employees received payoffs that had been in place in the agency for a long time.

In 2018, Ombudsman probers found enough evidence to launch a full-blown investigation against Faeldon and several others over the meth smuggling.

Faeldon had described this as "ridiculous," adding that he felt he was being persecuted.

However, the fact-finding panel said there was a "lack of basis" to charge Paolo Duterte, who has since resigned as Davao City vice mayor, and son-in-law, lawyer Manases Carpio, in the case.

Duterte refused to fire Faeldon despite the controversies, saying he continued to have full confidence in the former rebel officer as a Customs chief. He declared Faeldon to be an "honest" and "upright man."

Instead, Duterte, in December 2017, reappointed Faeldon as deputy administrator of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), an agency under the Department of National Defense, at the height of the controversy over the meth smuggling case in the BOC which had prompted Faeldon to resign as commissioner.

Duterte assigned Isidro Lapeña, another military man, to replace Faeldon at the BOC.

Faeldon served in the OCD from December 2017 until October 18.

After Faeldon's stint at the OCD, Duterte had him transferred to the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) as director-general.

Not even a year after he was officially appointed, Faeldon was again embroiled in a controversy that was triggered by news that convicted rapist-murderer Antonio Sanchez was set for early release.

GCTA for sale scheme in 2019

The 2019 controversy surrounding the Good Conduct and Time Allowance (GCTA) was catapulted to the limelight when Sanchez was reportedly set to be released as a beneficiary of the law.

This led to the sacking of Faeldon and Duterte ordering 1,900 freed convicts to surrender.

Duterte gave 15 days to close to 2,000 convicts of heinous crimes who were released early due to "good behavior" to surrender. He also said he would offer a P1-million bounty to anyone who could give information that would lead to the capture of a heinous crime convict.

However, the issue further opened a can of worms, especially after the Senate decided to probe the issue.

It was found that there is an alleged racket in the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) where officers offer convicts freedom for a price.

Yolanda Camilon, wife of an inmate at NBP, testified at a Senate hearing that she paid P50,000 for the early release of her common-law husband. She said prices for freedom ranged from P30,000 to more than P1 million, with some paying even P1.5 million.

Another prisoner confirmed the scheme.

Then sacked BuCor chief Nicanor Faeldon said it was the first time he had heard of the scheme and it saddened him.

Amid this, Duterte joined the call to amend the law. He also said he would fire BuCor officials involved in corruption and spare those who implemented the GCTA law in "good faith."

He also ordered the Office of the Ombudsman to conduct an investigation into the alleged anomalies.

The Ombudsman, in 2020, ordered the dismissal of three BuCor officials for their alleged involvement in the controversial GCTA for sale scheme.

The senators also signed a committee report, which the Senate has adopted, recommending the filing of graft and corruption charges against Faeldon, saying the then sacked BuCor chief was liable for nonfeasance when he did not follow procedures and requirements of Department Order (DO) 953.

Aside from Faeldon, the committees also found former officials of the BuCor as well as officials of the NBP Hospital liable for grave offenses and direct bribery.

P11-billion shabu smuggling in 2018

Another controversy shook the BOC in 2018 when four empty magnetic lifters, believed to have been carrying P11-billion worth of shabu, were found in a warehouse in General Mariano Alvarez town in Cavite.

The PDEA initially estimated the amount of shabu, which was first thought to be only about one ton, to be at least 1.6 tons worth about P11 billion.

Then BOC chief Lapeña initially insisted that there was no shabu in the lifters but he eventually conceded after it was found that these matched two other lifters that were found containing shabu at the Manila International Container Terminal.

In August 2018, a senior BOC official alleged Lapeña could be involved in a coverup of the smuggling. Ma. Lourdes Mangaoang, deputy collector for passenger service at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, said she showed Lapeña copies of X-ray images of the shipping containers which held magnetic lifters days before the PDEA found them abandoned in Cavite.

But instead of telling her he would initiate an investigation, Lapeña asked Mangaoang where she got the images and who else had the images.

Then Customs spokesperson Erastus Dino Austria downplayed Mangaoang's allegations, saying the bureau had submitted to both the Senate and the House all 67 X-ray images related to the magnetic lifters.

In October 2018, Duterte sacked Lapeña and appointed another military man, retired Gen. Leonardo Guerrero, former chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, to replace Lapeña. Guerrero was then the administrator of the Maritime Industry Authority.

Aside from this, Duterte also ordered the "freezing" of all section, department and unit heads at the BOC.

Not long after, Duterte assigned Lapeña as head of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, which is a Cabinet position, since Lapeña still enjoyed the "full trust and confidence" of the President, according to Malacañang.

Lapeña and Guerrero took their oaths of office before October ended.

Malacañang maintained that the attacks against Lapeña are part of a smear campaign led by corrupt individuals, including BOC personnel hurt by his anti-corruption campaign.

"We maintain that drug syndicates, in cahoots with the bureau's corrupt officials and employees, are behind the ongoing vilification campaign against Mr. Isidro Lapeña," then-presidential spokesperson and chief presidential legal counsel Salvador Panelo said in a statement.

Six cops were also allegedly linked to the smuggling and faced a probe conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation.

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, in December 2018, sought the indictment of one of its former senior officials, former PDEA Deputy Director General Ismael Fajardo, and 43 others for their alleged role in the smuggling.

The complaint, filed at the Department of Justice, did not include former BOC Commissioner Isidro Lapeña as there was no sufficient evidence showing his involvement in the smuggling, then PDEA Director General Aaron Aquino said.

However, in January 2019, the National Bureau of Investigation recommended criminal and administrative charges against Lapeña for his failure to prevent the smuggling.

The NBI submitted its findings to the Department of Justice (DOJ), naming nearly 50 people, including Lapeña, who should face drug importation, graft, and administrative charges, as well as charges of false testimony and perjury.

The agency recommended that Lapeña, along with Manila district collector Vener Baquiran, be charged with graft, dereliction of duty and grave misconduct for their inaction on the meth smuggling in magnetic lifters.

It added that Lapeña showed "deliberate intent to favor" the importers of shabu because he did not file charges against them. He is likewise liable for graft for causing injury to the government through the entry of a large amount of shabu in the country.

PhilHealth corruption issues in 2019, 2020

In June 2019, the Philippine Daily Inquirer exposed a scam in the Philippine Health Insurance Inc. (PhilHealth) involving the approval and release of payments for patients who are already dead and those who are yet to complete treatment.

This was revealed by Edwin Roberto and Liezel Santos de Leon, former WellMed Dialysis Center employees, adding that the state insurer failed to check the validity of the payment claims.

In response to this, PhilHealth said it has filed complaints against the dialysis center and vowed to investigate the scandal.

The whistleblowers also sought charges against PhilHealth officials.

Duterte likewise instructed the NBI to arrest the owners of the dialysis centers who were implicated in the "ghost dialysis" scam.

He has also directed PhilHealth to file criminal charges against those involved in the scam.

Duterte met with PhilHealth executives following huge losses by the state insurer due to fraudulent claims.

Not long after, Duterte then asked PhilHealth acting chief Roy Ferrer and its board members to hand over their "courtesy resignation" over the controversy, because he already "lost confidence" in them.

In June 2019, the DOJ indicted the owner of the WellMed dialysis center and the two whistleblowers for 17 counts of estafa through falsification of official documents. They were arrested in October 2019.

Not long after this scandal, another plagued the state insurer and, worse, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

PhilHealth once again started to slide into the limelight after allegations of "widespread corruption" in the agency have been made, with the scandal blown up further by the resignation of several of the agency's officials.

Anti-legal fraud officer Thorsson Keith was among those who resigned, saying he stepped down from his post due to corruption, citing "rampant and patent unfairness in the promotion process" and delayed salaries and hazard pay.

Keith, testifying at a Senate hearing in August 2020, described the recent PhilHealth anomalies as "crime of the year" that resulted in the loss of P15-billion in the state insurer's funds, allegedly pocketed by members of the agency's "mafia."

The P15 billion covered the unauthorized release of interim reimbursement mechanism (IRM) funds, which are supposedly allocated for "fortuitous events" such as the pandemic, to hospitals that have not yet recorded COVID-19 cases. This also included the alleged overpriced information and communications technology projects proposed by the state insurer, which was also flagged by the Commission on Audit.

Then PhilHealth president and chief executive officer Ricardo Morales did not deny the existence of fraud in the state insurer, admitting it could have lost P10.2 billion in 2019 alone which could double to P18 billion by 2021 if irregularities are not addressed.

He, however, defended the alleged overpriced IT project, saying the P2.1-billion project is "paltry" against the "tens of billions a year" that Philhealth has lost to fraud.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque was likewise tagged in the controversy, as one of whistleblowers named him as the "godfather" of the so-called "mafia." Duque has denied the allegation.

On Aug. 26, 2020, Morales stepped down from his post and his resignation was accepted by Duterte.

Duterte then named former NBI director Dante Gierran as the new head of the embattled agency.

In the same month, Duterte ordered the DOJ to create a task force that would look into irregularities in PhilHealth.

After the Senate concluded its hearings, it recommended charges against Duque, Morales and several other top officials for the alleged misuse of funds under the agency's IRM.

Duterte then approved the DOJ-led task force's recommendation to file cases of graft, malversation and illegal use of public funds, gross misconduct and gross neglect, among others, against Morales and other PhilHealth officials. However, Duque was spared.

In September 2020, Duterte raised the idea of abolishing PhilHealth but in the meantime, he would instead revamp the institution.

In October 2020, the NBI, upon the recommendation of the DOJ, filed criminal complaints against nine former and incumbent officials of PhilHealth.

This "involves the questionable grant of advances to a number of health care institutions in the National Capital Region pursuant to the Interim Reimbursement Mechanism provided for under PhilHealth Circular No. 2020-2007."

In the same month, PhilHealth said 43 of its senior officers gave their courtesy resignation, following Gierran's memorandum "directing all senior officers from Salary Grade 26 and above to tender their courtesy resignation."

Last January, the NBI filed an administrative and criminal complaint against Morales and more than 20 others at the Office of the Ombudsman after it found that Morales and other PhilHealth executives had "conspired" with officials of a private dialysis center that received P33.8 million in emergency funds earmarked for hospitals treating COVID-19 patients.

The NBI also said Morales and his subordinates ignored policies that they themselves set for the use of the P30-billion interim reimbursement mechanism (IRM) in providing "unwarranted benefits" to B. Braun Avitum Philippines Inc., a dialysis center.

The complaint was filed a day before an interagency body headed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) endorsed also to the Ombudsman a report by the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission (PACC) alleging graft against 25 PhilHealth officials in connection with a "ghost" and "double claims" scheme that had financially strained the state insurer.

"Pastillas" bribery scheme at the BI in 2020

The country's immigration agency also took the scandal stage.

In 2020, a bribery scheme, dubbed as "pastillas", came to light where officials of the Bureau of Immigrations (BI) received bribes allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese individuals to illegally enter the country to work for Philippine offshore gaming operators (Pogos).

The racket, which also involved Filipino and Chinese travel agencies, was exposed in a Senate hearing by Sen. Risa Hontiveros, who called it a "pastillas operation" as the bribe money was usually rolled up like the popular milk candy.

Through the scheme, corrupt immigration officers in cahoots with tour operators provided "VIP treatment" to Chinese who want to work for Pogos illegally for a P10,000 "service fee" per Chinese.

Each immigration officer involved in the scheme at Naia Terminal 1 allegedly received P20,000 weekly, and P8,000 weekly for those at Terminal 3, a whistleblower said.

There also were "special arrangements" that allowed blacklisted Chinese, or those with derogatory records, to enter the country and whose passports were not even scanned on arrival.

The rate for these arrangements was around P50,000 to P200,000 per head and the package included hassle-free departure, the whistleblower added.

Hontiveros said the "masterminds" of the scheme had pocketed over P40 billion in kickbacks since 2017 through the scam and from another scheme called "Visa Upon Arrival."

Duterte ordered the sacking of all immigration officials and employees involved in the scheme.

In October, the Ombudsman suspended 44 immigration officials linked to the pastillas scheme.

In November, Duterte summoned immigration officials for a "dressing down" and gave them "pastillas" where money was inserted, and dared them to eat it.

In the same month, the NBI filed a fresh complaint at the Ombudsman against 86 persons linked to the pastillas scam, including the reported ringleader.

In December 2020, the Ombudsman slapped a six-month preventive suspension without pay on 83 BI employees facing charges over the "pastillas" bribery scheme. This did not include the alleged ringleader, identified as Marc Red Mariñas and four others since they were no longer working for the government.

In March this year, Hontiveros revealed that the group behind the pastillas scam is also involved in another scheme involving outbound trafficking of Filipino women to war-torn Syria.

In the alleged trafficking scheme, immigration officers are allegedly paid P50,000 for each Filipino woman trafficked out of the country, as claimed by four victims, whoREAD came forward and sought help from Hontiveros office.

Convictions

Amid all the corruption issues that plagued the Duterte administration in its over five years of reign, only two officials, along with a retired cop at the time, have been convicted of plunder.

This year, anti-graft court Sandiganbayan found Al Arhosino, Michael Robles -who are brothers of Duterte in the Lex Talionis fraternity-and former cop Wenceslao "Wally" Sombero Jr. guilty beyond reasonable doubt of plunder and corruption for their involvement in the P50 million Jack Lam bribery scandal in 2016.

They were sentenced to reclusion perpetua, or 40 years in prison, for plunder and 10 years in jail for graft.

In 2017, the Bureau of Immigrations (BI) officials were exposed for receiving P50 million from Lam, a Chinese gambling tycoon, in exchange for freeing over 1,300 Chinese nationals illegally working at Fontana Leisure Parks and Casino in Pampanga.

Sombero, a retired police officer, was the middleman between Lam and the immigration officers.

The payoff among Sombero, Argosino, and Robles happened at the City of Dreams in Parañaque. This was seen in CCTV footage that caught the handoff beginning 12:30 a.m. of Nov.27, 2016.

Unfinished business?

Last July 15, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said in an interview that the Duterte administration was "satisfied" with its anti-corruption efforts through the years, while admitting defeat in completely obliterating corruption in the government.

He touted the President's weekly announcement of government officials' names sacked, suspended or tagged in corruption.

Roque said he would give the Duterte administration an "8 out of 10" grade for its efforts to stem corruption.

"Where did you see a President who, every week in Talk to the People, reads the names of those sacked from government?" said Roque.

"It's to show by means of example to others that corruption is not tolerated but, of course, the truth is still there," he said in Filipino at a chance interview during the inauguration of 18-km of the Central Luzon Link Expressway in Tarlac province.

"This is one of the unfinished business that the President is saying so by grade, I think I would give the President an 8 out of 10 on corruption," Roque said.

Duterte had revealed plans to run for vice president after he steps down as president, something that has never been done by a departing president before.

He had said it was a "good idea" since he still has "unfinished business" including ending corruption, criminality and the drug trade.

"That's what I left behind which I was unable to do because it was not in my control," Duterte said in a June 16 speech.

"Maybe being vice president would be good," he said.

However, in a separate pronouncement, Duterte said he planned to run for vice president to circumvent possible lawsuits he would face once he steps down as President and loses his immunity.

"They keep on threatening me with lawsuits and everything, Trillanes and Carpio, always threatening to sue me," Duterte said in Filipino.

"The law says president or vice president you have immunity. So I'll just run for vice president," Duterte said. "And after that I'll run for vice president, and vice president and vice president," he said.

The 2022 elections would be grading time by the Filipino people on Duterte and a referendum whether they still want Duterte to be a top government official or just, like Duterte himself has been saying, let the President rest as he was already tired.

It would depend, of course, if Duterte runs for vice president. No one can be sure yet.

Episode 1

Sa simula pa lang, aakalain mo na walang kinalaman ang mga tao sa pagkamatay o pagkawala ng kanilang mga mamamayan. Ngunit, nalaman nila ang naging kasunduan ni Mayor Santamaria at mga aswang. Sa huli, inaresto ang mayor at hinarap ang  iba't ibang kaso tulad ng human trafficking at arson. Ngunit, hindi palaging ganito ang nangyayari sa mga opisyal na inaabuso ang kanilang kapangyarihan. Madalas ay hindi sila naaaresto o hinaharap ang kanilang parusa dahil sa mga koneksyon at pera. Mga halimbawa dito ay ang nawawalang pondo sa iba't ibang ahensya ng gobyerno, mga kaso ng graft at plunder, at iba pa. Ipinapakita din ng episode na ito na minsan, nakakamit din ang hustisya galing sa mga abusadong opisyal, pero kadalasan ay hindi ito agad-agad na nangyayari

Sa unang yugto ng Trese, ginagamit ni Santamaria ang mga tala ng pagkamatay patungo sa kanyang sariling benepisyo para sa darating na halalan. Sa tulong ng kanyang mga koneksyon sa aswang, humihingi siya ng kanilang kooperasyon upang mapeke ang kanyang mga kakayahan sa publiko. Ito ang ipinakita na katiwalian sa serye. Isang tao na gumagawa ng nakakasama at malupit na gawain upang matupad ang kanyang sariling hangarin. Walang kabuluhan sa kung ano ang mangyayari sa natitirang populasyon na handa siyang gumawa ng malupit na bagay hangga't nakamit niya ang nais niya.

Ang COA ay mahigpit na irekomenda na subaybayan kung saan napupunta ang hindi nagamit na pondo at pagtipid upang mahukay ang katiwalian sa administrasyong Duterte. Ang huwarang ito ng inakalang pagiging epektibo ay naging kahina-hinala.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MANILA, Philippines - Bayan Muna Representative Carlos Zarate and chairman Neri Colmenares called on the Commission on Audit (COA) and Ombudsman anew to uncover possible corruption under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.

"We ask the Ombudsman and COA to follow the money trail of unused funds and savings to unearth corruption in the Duterte administration. This pattern of supposed inefficiency has become suspicious since Pres. Duterte does not divulge his yearly overall savings since he sat in office. It is anomalous that Congress is forced to approve the yearly budget without knowing the absorptive capacity of the receiving agencies that it will fund," Zarate said in a statement on Sunday.

Zarate cited National Budget Circular (NBC) 586 which tries to collect anticipated savings of government agencies under the General Appropriations Act (GAA).

"This NBC 586 covers released allotments under the FY 2020 GAA which remain unobligated until May 15, 2021, but not expressly earmarked for the implementation of programs / activities / projects addressing the COVID19 pandemic and can be realigned by the president as he see fit this is a Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP)-like savings and a form of presidential pork," Zarate noted.

Colmenares echoed Zarate's call, saying the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) should be questioned on the savings.

"Follow the savings! Follow the realignment and augmentation! Even if DBM says there is no actual savings because they have been realigned and spent, the COA and Ombudsman should still ask DBM the savings actually pooled before they were realigned and spent. They should not allow DBM to get away with it by the mere claim that they managed to spend it in the end," the chair said.

Colmenares further explained that under Duterte, the definition of savings was "made easier for Malacanang to pool savings and realign it thereby transforming these appropriated funds into pork barrel."

Under DBM Circular 583, Colmenares said Duterte "included that savings can be declared by the simple expedient that he declares a state of calamity, even if this is not provided under the 2021 GAA or any law especially since the Bayanihan laws have expired."

"This gives him the unilateral power to arbitrarily declare savings to make it easier for Malacañang to declare savings in violation of the Supreme Court decisions on pork barrel," Colmenares raised.

With this, he said that Malacañang's claim that corruption is not yet concluded is confusing.

Colmenares further lamented, "This phenomena of undisbursed funds in the billions is an insult to Congress that cannot be allowed as if it is the executive now that controls the budget... It is Pres. Duterte who should step down for the deadly incompetence of his agencies and the corruption that results."

Earlier, the COA flagged several government agencies over its handling or unusage of funds.

Si Mayor Santamaria sinabihan nya ang mga aswang na patayin ang mga mamamayan para sa kanyang benepisyo sa darating na eleksyon. Mauugnay natin ito sa panahon ngayon dahil lumalapit na ang eleksyon. Ang Korapsyon ay nagtataas ng hindi pagkakapantay-pantay, binabawasan ang pananagutan sa publiko at pagtugon sa politika, at samakatuwid ay nagiging sanhi ng mga mamamayan na lalong lalong bigo at magulo, na hahantong sa kanila na tiisin ang malupit at illiberal na mga hakbang.

Trese - Episode 1

Sa simula pa lamang ay ipinakita doon ang hindi pagkakapantay-pantay na tingin na ibinigay sa mga tao dahil lamang sa kanilang klase. Hindi dahil ang isang tao ay sapat na pinalad, ay hindi ito nangangahulugang mayroon siyang tamang kalayaan na humakbang sa isang tao na may sariling buhay dahil maaari kang makagawa ng anumang nais mo, magdala ng pinsala at saktan sila nang walang katanggap-tanggap na dahilan. Kung saan ka man manggagaling na maaari itong mayayamang tao, parte ng gobyerno o 'di kaya't nasa pinakataas na panlipunan ay hindi ito dahilan upang mapabayaan ang ating mga desisyon sa buhay na inilagay natin sa mga responsibilidad na dapat nating pananagutan balang araw.

Episode 1:

Pagkatapos panoorin ang Pinoy anime na Trese, nakita namin na ang nagpapakita na problema dito na nakikita natin sa totoong buhay ay korupsyon at human trafficking. Sa episode na ito, ang mayor ay nagkukunwari sa mga normal na mamamayan na siya ay isang mabuting lider. Sa katotohanan, nakipag deal sya sa mga aswang na ibibigay nya mga biktima bilang ulam nila. Ngayon sa ating mundo, di natin makumpira na mayroon totoong aswang sa Pilipinas pero pwede natin sabihin na mayroon tayong mga masamang liders sa ating gobyerno.

sa unang episodo ng trese ang isang lalaki na tumatakbo para sa posisyong mayor ay nagkaroon ng kasunduan sa mga aswang. Papayagan niyang patayin at kainin ng mga aswang ang taong nakatira sa bayan sa kapalit na magkukunwari siyang resolbahin ang mga kaso ng kanilang pagpatay upang magustohan siya ng mga tao sa bayan at iboto siya. Tulad ng korrupt na lalaki sa kwentong ito, meron pa rin sa kasalukuyan ng mga inaabuso ang kanilang kapangyarihan upang manipulahin at saktan ang suporta, tiwala, kaligtasan, at pero ng mga tao.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 4) - Officials of the embattled Philippine Health Insurance Corporation have stolen some ₱15 billion from the agency using different fraudulent schemes, a former official claimed Tuesday.

The state-run agency's former anti-fraud legal officer Thorrsson Montes Keith, who earlier resigned due to "widespread corruption" within the office, alleged that "mafia members" were in charge of what he calls "crime of the year" due to anomalous transactions.

"Naniniwala po ako na ang perang winaldas at ninakaw ay humigit kumulang ₱15 billion," said Keith, testifying before the Senate Committee on the Whole.

[Translation: I believe that the total amount of money spent and pocketed amounted to more or less ₱15 billion.]
"Naniniwala po ako na ang dahilan kung bakit hindi natatapos ang korapsyon sa PhilHealth at naging kultura na po nito, ay ang pagtatalaga ng mga sindikato o mafia ng kanilang kasamahan, kasabwat o kapwa sindikato sa mga matataas na posisyon na nakakatulong sa kanilang iligal operasyon."
[Translation: I also believe that the reason why the culture of corruption continues to proliferate in PhilHealth is due to the delegation of mafia syndicates of additional members who also belong to top positions, which helps prolong illegal operations.]

Keith accused PhilHealth President and CEO Ricardo Morales of also instructing him to talk to Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission Commissioner Greco Belgica to amend a pending case involving the agency's overpriced COVID-19 testing kits.

"Inutusan ako para hilutin ang kaso sa overpriced test kits," Keith bared.

[Translation: He asked me to negotiate on the case involving overpriced test kits.]

The PhilHealth chief later tried to discredit Keith, saying the former official was "vengeful" after being rejected for a position he coveted. Morales cited alleged sexual harassment cases against Keith and his removal from the police force as reasons for not hiring him as his executive assistant.

Morales added that he was doubtful about Keith's fraud allegations since in over nine months Keith had been the anti-fraud legal officer, he failed to submit any report on anomalies in the agency.

Keith claimed that the ₱15 billion covers the unauthorized release of interim reimbursement mechanisms or funds allocated for "fortuitous events" such as the pandemic, to hospitals who have not yet recorded COVID-19 cases. The amount also included the alleged overpriced information technology systems the agency proposed to purchase, he added.

PhilHealth board member Alejandro Cabading also pointed fingers at several officials for allegedly manipulating operations inside PhilHealth to block corruption probes. He named Atty. Rodolfo del Rosario, now Senior Vice President of the Legal Sector; Corporate Secretary Jonathan Mangaoang; Dennis Mas, SVP for Management Services Sector; and Renato Limsiaco, SVP for the Fund Management Sector.

" Ini-intimidate ' yung mga tao sa loob na mag-i-investigate," said Cabading.

[Translation: The people tasked to investigate were being intimidated.]

Senator Ping Lacson also earlier gave the same names, except for Dr. Israel Pargas, SVP for Health Finance Policy Sector, and tagged them as the officials involved in the long-standing corruption allegations within the agency.

The senator alleged that these officials do not run out of "malevolent schemes to enrich themselves of a deeply-rooted mafia syndicate" manipulating the financial records of PhilHealth despite changes in leadership.

Del Rosario denied his involvement in any "mafia" within the agency, adding that he will take legal action against Cabading if he cannot substantiate his accusation.

Meanwhile, Mas did not directly deny being part of a mafia but maintained that he was not charged by the Ombudsman as claimed by Lacson. Limsiaco denied manipulating PhilHealth's financial statements.

₱10 billion lost in fraud

Morales said even a change of leadership wouldn't change the culture of corruption within the agency. He said over ₱10 billion was potentially lost to fraud last year. He later added that the agency is investigating around 20,000 cases of potential fraud.

He then pointed out that no healthcare system in the world is entirely "fraud-free."

"Corruption was there in the PhilHealth organization before I came in, and may stay if we don't put a proper system in place," the PhilHealth chief said.

Episode 1

Sa unang episode ng Trese, pinakilala sa atin si Mayor Santamaria. Siya ay tila tapat at mapagkakatiwalaan noong una. Subalit, sa paglipas ng panahon ay mas nalaman natin tungkol sa mga kakila-kilabot na ginawa niya para makuha ang gusto niya. Nagdulot siya ng pagdurusa sa maraming tao, sinunog niya ang kanilang bahay, hinayaan silang makuha ng mga aswang, at iba pa.

Sa totoong buhay, may mga tiwaling opisyal na gagawa ng anupaman upang makuha ang gusto nila. Handa silang magsinungaling, manloko, at magnakaw, kagaya nalang ni Mayor Santamaria.

Unang episodo
Isang bahagi sa unang episodo ng Trese na nangyayari pa rin sa kasalukuyan ay ang di pagtigil na korupsyon sa loob ng gobyerno at ang pag gamit ng "black propaganda" ng mga politiko sa eleksyon. Makikita ito sa Trese nung ginawa ni Mayor Santamaria ang lahat upang mapaikot niya ang mga masamang pangyayari sa Manila para mapaganda niya ang kanyang pangalan sa nalalapit na eleksyon. Para sa korupsyon naman, ito ay naipakita ng inamin ng nuno at ang pinuno ng mga grupo ng aswang na may isang korrupt na opisyal sa gobyerno na kasangkot sa mga buto ng sirena. Dahil dito gumawa si Trese ng paraan upang mabuo ng isang kaso laban kay Mayor Santamaria. Isang patunay nito sa kasalukuyan ay ang makabagong Trese na si Mayor Vico Sotto. Si Mayor Vico ay nanalo bilang mayor noong 2019 na hindi gumamamit ng "black propaganda". Siya ay nakilala din at ang kanyang andministrasyon sa paglaban sa korupsyon sa kanyang pinamumunuan. At dahil dito, siya ay pinangaralan na "anticorruption champion" ng Amerika.

Sa unang episode ng Trese inilahad na malapit na ang eleksyon sa istorya. Sa panahon natin ngayon, palapit na rin ang halalan 2022. Ang pagkakaroon ng mga korap na politiko. Isang patunay dito ay pagnakaw ng Philhealth ng pondo na nangangahalagang 15 billion na di malilimutan ng mga Pilipino. Marami pang ibang patunay tulad ng panibagong ganap sa DOH at COA. Makikita natin sa Trese at sa totoong buhay na dahil may pribilehiyo ang mga politiko ginagamit nila ito upang tumulong sa mga nangangailangan kapalit ng kapangyarihan.

# data[].attributes.body
Sa pangalawang episode ng Trese, naipakita kung paano nakakaepekto ang kapangyarihan, koneksyon, at titulo sa magiging antas mo sa lipunan. Pinaalam ni Kapitan Guerrero kay Alexandra Trese na may mga kakaibang bangkay na nahanap nila. Hinuha ni Trese na paggagawan nito ng anak ni Bagyon Lektro dahil sa nahanap na marka sa mga bangkay na na-kuryente. Dahil dito, pinuntahan ni Alexandra si Bagyon Lektro at nakipag-usap ngunit itinanggi niya ang akusasyon na anak niya ang gumawa ng krimen na ito. Sa kasalukuyang panahon, nakikita natin ng malinaw ang korapsyon ng mga taong may kapangyarihan sa iba't ibang uri ng industriya. Ngunit walang may kakayanin na i-tama ang kanilang maling gawain dahil natatakot tayo na baka masaktan ang ating sarili o ang ating mga mahal sa buhay.

Habang pinapanood ang unang episodo ng seryeng Trese, napansin namin kung paano nito ipinakita ang dalawa sa pinakamalaking problemang panlipunan sa ating bansa. Ang katiwalian at ang kahirapan. Hindi malayo sa ating kaalaman ang iba’t ibang mga pinuno na naging korap. Inaabuso nila ang kanilang kapangyarihan para mangloko ng mga tao. Sa episodo, nasunugan ang ilang mamamayan sa Guadalupe. Nagboluntaryo naman si Mayor Santamaria na tulungan ang mga ito, sa pamamagitan ng pagsagot ng kanilang paglipat. Subalit, ang hindi nila alam ay kumampi si Mayor Santamaria sa mga aswang upang gawin silang mga biktima. Dinala sila sa isang gusali at doon ay inaalagan sila. Ngunit, nung pagsapit ng gabi ay nangyari na ang kababalaghan.

Sa isang bahagi ng episode 4 ay pumasok ang dalawang pulis na may kasamang lalaki. Ang lalaki na ito ay hinuli dahil sa pag iinom ng madami at sa dahilan nito ay nakikipag away siya sa ibang tao. Sinabi ng lalaki na wala siyang pakialam kung malagay siya sa prisinto o hindi dahil yun laman daw ang lagi ginagawa ng mga pulis. Sa bandang pahuli ang episode ay nagdadawalang isip ang lalaki na tumulong ipaalis ang sumpa na nagyayari dahil alam niya na ang dami na pinatay ng mga pulis at hindi niya ito ipapatawad. Sa huli, tumulong ang lalaki at nagpaliwanang ang isang pulis na kung bakit nila kailangan ipatay ang mga tao.

# data[].attributes.body
Batay sa Episodo 4 ng “Trese”, naniniwala ako na ang “pulis brutality” ay nangyayari pa rin sa kasalukuyan na panahon; sapagkat, maraming tao ang umaabuso sa kanilang kapangyarihan. Sa episodong ito, sinasalamin ni Pulis Reyes ang mga opisyal at mga propesyonal na walang respeto para sa mga tao na mas mababa sa kanila. Isa sa mga halimbawa nito sa kasalukuyan na panahon ay ang pagpatay ng isang pulis sa isang mag-ina sa Paniqui, Tarlac dahil sa personal na problema ng kanilang pamilya. Halos ganito din ang nangyari kay Pulis Reyes at Raul, muntikan na siya pabayaan na mamatay. Ngunit, ipinakita ni Captain Hank Guerrero na ang buhay ay dapat respetuhin. Mula dito, matuto tayo igalang sa isa't. Tandaan na lahat tayo ay nagkakamali at pantay tayong lahat sa paningin ng Diyos.

Sa ikalimang episode ng Trese makikita natin a pagkagusto ng mayor na masunod ang kanyang kagustohan at inabuso niya ang kanyang kapangyarihan. Ito ay makikita sa ating gobyerno sa panahon na ito sa pamamagitan ng corruption. Sa positibong panig naman ay makikita rin natin ang pagpapahalaga ng mga Pilipino sa ating pamilya. Ngayong pandemya maraming mga magulang ay nagsisikap para mabigay pa rin nila ang pangangailangan ng kanilang mga anak.

EPISODO 2

Ipinatawag ni Kapitan Guerrero si Trese para imbistigahan ang 3 biktima na nakuryente. May nakitang marka ng kidlat si Trese sa batok ng isa sa mga biktima na nagbigay ng ideya kung sino ang may gawa nito. Pumunta si Trese sa Maharlika Electric Company at kinausap si Bagyon Lektro dahil tingin ni Trese na ang anak niya, si Bagyon Kulimlim, ang suspek. Sinabi ni Bagyon Lektro na wala siyang kinalaman dito at aayusin niya ito mag-isa. Ngunit sa totoo, alam ni Bagyon Lektro ang mga gawain ng kaniyang anak na si Bagyon Kulimlim. Maraming mga magulang na nagsisinungaling o nangsu-suhol ng mga awtoridad para protektahan ang kanilang mga anak, imbes na turuan ang kanilang mga anak.

Sa unang episode ng Trese, ang mga kasalukuyang nangyayari ngayon ay may mga tao na nasa masmataas na antas ay gumagawa ng illegal na pag-kakasundo sa mga masasamang tao.

Episodo 1

Ang bahagi ng episodo 1 na nangyayari pa rin sa kasalukuyan ay ang korupsyon at ang kahirapan lalong-lalu na sa mga hindi-pribadong mga lugar. Katulad ng korupsyon ni Mayor Santa Maria, maraming mga politiko na nagiging korap dahil gusto rin nila ng kapangyarihan at gagawin nila ang lahat para makamit ito. Katulad rin ng mga mahirap na tao na ipinakita sa episodo, marami pa ring mga tao sa Pilipinas na mahirap pa rin at pinoproblema ang kahirapan.

Episode 1
Sa unang episode, ang corruption ay isang problema na ipinakita sa Terese. Dito, gumawa ng kontrata si Mayor Sancho sa mga aswang. Sa kontrata na ito, papakainin ni Mayor Sancho ang mga aswang upang sila'y maglingkod at manitiling matapat sila sa kanya. Ito ay maoobserbahan sa totoong buhay sa pamamagitan ng pag bribe ng mga tao upang mas pabor sila kasya sa iba. Isang halimbawa ay ang pagbibigay ng pera sa masa upang iboto nila ang kandidato.

Episode 6
Ang isang bahagi ng episodo ng Trese na tatak sa kultura nating mga Pilipino hanggang ngayon ay ang paniniwala ng dwende at pagtutulong ng mga tao sa isa't isa para maging isang bayan na makatao.

Episode 1 ;; Corruption/Korupsyon

Noong Episode 1 ay nakita natin na nakikipagtulungan ang mayor sa mga aswang upang matayo ang condo kapalit ng squatter area para kumita siya ng pera. Pinapayagan niya ang pag-kikidnap ng mga bata, pagsusunog ng bahay, at ang pagpatay para makamit niya ang layunin na ito. At ito ang nagpapakita ng katiwalian sa ating gobyerno ngayon.

noong umulan habang nag aaway sila trese tska si Bagyon Kulimlim, kagaya ngayong kasalukuyan nagkakaroon ng mga pagbabago ng panahon kagaya ngpagbabagyo at ibapa at nagkaroon ng madameng epekto nito sa mga tao. At roon din sa episode na trinaydor ni nuno si trese ay nangyayari pa rin ito sa kasalukuyan dahil kahit ang mga tao na hindi mo inaasahan ay maari din tumalikod sa iyo.

Ang napanood naming episodo ng  “Trese” ay episodo isa (1). Ang bahagi ng episodo ng “Trese” ang nangyayari pa rin sa kasalukyan ay ang mga mayayaman o malalakas ay sinasamantala ang mga mahihirap at mahihina. Ang isang halimbawa nito ay ang mga mahihirap at mahihina ay pinagsamantalahan ng mga mayaman sa trabaho. Ang mga mayayaman at malakas ay mas kumikita kumpara sa mahirap at mahina.

# data[].attributes.body
Episode 1
Base sa nakita namin sa unang episodo ng trese, ang mga mahihirap ay minaltrato. Sila rin ay ginamit lamang ng gobyerno para sila ay magmuhkang mabuti sa mata ng mga tao. Nakita rin natin na ginagamit lang ng Mayor ang mga tao para lang mapanatili niya ang kaniyang katayuan. Kagaya rito sa Pilipinas, hindi nila iniisip ang magiging kalagayan ng pamilya ng biktima pagkatapos nila paslangin ang kanilang kapamilya, sila rin ay pinapatay para lamang ang “Pilipinas ay mas maging magandang lugar”.

# data[].attributes.body
Unang episodo
Ang bahagi ng episodo ng "Trese" ang nangyayari pa rin sa kasalakuyan ngayon ay pagsasabi ng "tabi-tabi po" dahil baka may matamaan silang dwende ayon sa ating paniniwala, natatakot pa din ang mga tao ngayon ang mga tao dahil sa ating mitolohiya tungkol sa mga aswang, dwende, white lady, kapre at iba pa.

Episode 1

Ang nangyari sa unang episode na nangyayari pa rin sa kasalukuyan ay korupsyon. Nangyari ang korupsyon sa trese batay sa pag suhol ng mayor sa mga aswang  para ipalaki lang kanyang boto at para mag mukhang malinis ang kanyang pangalan sa eleksyon. Ito ay nangyayari sa totoong buhay pamamagitan ng politacal dynasty ay minsan nagiginig sanhi ng kasamaan dahil mag papamilya ang nag pupuno ng lugar kung saan ay minsan binubulsa nila nito kesa sa mga proyekto kailangan gawin.

# data[].attributes.body
Ang isang bahagi ng unang episodo ay sila ay tinatratong ganito dahil sa nakagawiang matandang paniniwala na dapat ay nasa bahay lang ang mga babae at nagsisilbi sa kanilang mga asawa. Dapat din na pang conservative ang kanilang pananamit. Kaya pagdating kay Alexandra na kayang lumaban at makipag sabayan sa mga lalaki, minamaliit siya dahil hindi siya mahinhin at submissive na babae.

# data[].attributes.body
Episode 1
Pagkatapos panoorin ang episode ng Trese, ang mga bahagi sa epsiode na ito na nangyayari pa rin sa totoong buhay ay ang mga technikal na problema ng mga LRT at MRT, ang pag aalay sa mga duwende (nuno), at ang ating malaking paniniwala natin sa ating mitolohiya.

Episodo 3
Isang bahagi sa episodo 3 ay nung pumunta sila kay Jobert para kumuha ng impormation pero naglalaro siya ng "video games", ang paglalaro ng video games ay nangyayari pa rin sa kasalukuyan. Ngayon sa pandemya naglalaro ang mga tao ng "mobile games" kagaya ng "Genshin Impact at Mobile Legends."

Basa sa pangatlong episode ng trese, marami sa mga tao'y mas pumipili na iabort o ipamigay ang kanilang mga anak dahil sa pagkakulang ng kanilang pera o mapagkukunan para ipalaki ang bata o dahil hindi sila masyadong natuto tungkol sa sex na dumulot sa pagbubuntis ng wala sa tamang oras.
