"People Power" in the Philippines was a great example of this.

If only we in the UK could organize "People Power" and overhaul our corrupt politicians. It seems the Daily Telegraph is doing a great job in exposing corruption here.
UK expenses is recorded whilst Philippines, I can't remember if we have records. Media can do nothing too much with corruptions, they know they will be killed if they will expose too much in papers. How many journalists killed? I can't remember

Still hoping that someday, corruption in Pinas will be declined if not eliminated.
