    Sa mga hindi makapaghintay at gustong mapukso agad ang korupsyon, hindi ito ang solusyon sa problema ng ekonomiya natin. Tingnan mo ang Tsina at Vietnam na pawang matataas ang growth rates pero alam naman nating lantaran ang korupsyon sa mga yan, pero matataas ang growth rates nila at yun ang tinitingnan ng husto ng foreign investors.
    Hindi sa ayaw kong mapukaw ang korupsyon. Ang pinakaproblema kasi satin ngayon ay di angkop yung democratic system natin. Yung nakahelera kasing papalit sa kanya kung sakali, ay binoto lang dahil sikat siya sa masa at wala nang iba. So maaaring napawi mo nga ang corruption (pero merong mga bansang may high growth rates kahit corrupt), pero kung mananatiling binoboto lang yung mga sikat kahit walang kakayahan, andun pa rin yung peligro.
    Yung mga surveys na nabanggit mo ay purely subjective lang, based sa pananaw ng tao. Dun nako sa objective data like GDP/GNP. Pag mga ito ang ginamit, masisigurong mas may pag-asang masugpo ang kahirapan.

    Ang problema kasi sa sistema democratic system natin, ang binoboto lang yung sikat, kahit walang kapasidad. Puwede mo ngang mapawi yung korupsyon, pero habang ang niluluklok ng mga botante natin ay yung mga sikat lang, kahit walang kakayahan, mananatiling problema ang tuluyang pag-usbong ng ekonomiya natin.
    Yung mga surveys, kahit gaano pa kaobjective ang process, mananatiling subjective ito kasi ang nilalaman niya ay pananaw lang ng tao. Dun nako magrerely sa GDP/GNP na objective data, kung ano man ang content niya, di maaalis na nalampasan niya lahat ng previous administrations.

    Below is a transcript of a supposedly wiretapped conversation between Joey and Jun I got from a website. Judge for yourself if Jun Lozada is indeed deserving to be treated a hero, but of course after ascertaining if this is genuine.

    Joey (allegedly, Joey de Venecia): Hey Jun.
    Jun (allegedly, Jun Lozada): Hey Joey.
    Joey: Jun, can you hear me?
    Jun: Yeah. Go ahead.
    Joey: Yeah, where are you to put Chair (Abalos)?
    Jun: Ang formula ko doon is kuha ako ng points dun sa 130.
    Joey: Uh-huh…
    Jun: Di ba? Kasi saan ko pa kukunin di ba? (laughs) Itong mga …
    Joey: Kaya lang pare, we need to get some… at least from… something from them, di ba?
    Jun: Yeah.. from both sides. P*t@ng!na…
    Joey: Pare.. start from the thing.. Because he’s the gatekeeper of the votes. P*ta. I can understand, but not that amount.
    Jun: Oh yeah. that’s too big, right. That’s too big.
    Joey: Pare, let’s develop a plan to talk to him.
    Jun: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So…
    Joey: And you know what he told me, between you and I. When we were in Hong Kong… in Shenzen. Don’t quote me ha. Sabi niya kasi, marami akong…… Tinanong ko bakit ba ang laki-laki? Singkwenta.. Sabi niya marami ako kelangan bigyan. Pati yung NEDA. He said the word NEDA ha. P*t@ngina. For your information pare.
    Jun: Information? I would understand that… He’d like to look at…
    Joey: Maybe, wait, you can quote me and say, sabi ni Joey meron daw… sabi mo sa kanya may NEDA dun. (laughs) Di ba? He told me pare. (laughs)
    Jun: Sige, sige…
    Joey: P*t@ng!na, baka magwala na naman yung… (laughs)
    Jun: For some reason, I have this chemistry with him. Sabi ko Chair… In fact, sabi niya, Jun, ikaw na mag-referee bukas ha. Sabi niya, I want you to be there. Ikaw na mag-referee, ikaw na magsabi kung papaano. Sige po Sir, ako na ang mag-aano sa ano… (laughs)
    Joey: Well anyway, so that’s where I’m looking at right now. .. ought to get you.. And then, uh, think of a strategy for Ben (Abalos?), and if you need me to back you up, I’ll be there.
    Jun: Hey Joey, regarding this Chinese embassy thing. I think I struck a motherload no? I’ll put them in Roxas Boulevard. P*t@ng!na, di ba?
    Joey: In the Reformation? (Reclamation)
    Jun: No, p*t@ng!na, that’s not prime. We’ll put them in the CCP complex.
    Joey: Yup, got it.
    Jun: P*t@ng!na. Yeah, that’s, wala.. I can ??? that ??? agreement. (I can swing that gddam deal pare)
    Joey: You mean, owned by the Central Bank?
    Jun: Yeah! Can you imagine? P*t@ng!na, same stature as the American embassy, better pa, di ba? The Japanese Embassy is in Roxas Boulevard. The American embassy is there. So p*ta, I just arrived that we put the Chinese embassy right in the midst of it all, di ba? Joey: Yes, yes, of course. That’s ??? to hear. That’s foresight. (That’s perfect)
    Jun: … don’t mention my name. I think he knows me well.
    Joey: Gaano kalaki, pare?
    Jun: P*t@ng!na, as much as 15 hectares. (laughs)
    Joey: P*t@ng!na. Tapos siguro kumuha rin tayo dun. Pero we need 10 finances. (10 financers)
    Jun: No, no, no, no. P*t@ng!na. I cannot just tell you all the things that I’ve been asked to do. But that one I think, I can ??? for ourselves.
    Joey: I’ll talk to the…
    Jun: Talk to him right away.

    Yung surbey na sinasabi mo na sabi mo na ang hinihingi ay yung ispesipikong karanasan ukol sa pang-araw-araw na karanasan ng tao. Ang tinatanong dito karanasan ng TAO kaya mananatili siyang subjective at tao ang tinatanong.
    Yung GDP/GNP objective data yon at sukatan ang basehan, hindi tao. Hindi nga sustainable yung growth na yon, pero dati pang merong mga OFWs, pero dito lang sa administrasyong GMA nalagpasan lahat ng mga nakaraang rehimen.
