Burning the evidence

Years ago during the time when GMA was still wearing pampers, government buildings were torched to hide crooked deals. A case in point; the old Manila International Airport. The practice is still used today, BIR and COMELEC record sections’ most recent incidents come to mind. Local officials, too, find the method useful whenever SOP’s are needed hence – new public market or city halls.
Today, the method has changed. Rather than torching buildings, all they need to do is report documents are missing! Official documents covering NBN ZTE scam, North & South Train Projects and Spratly Islands’ sellout all involving millions, are missing.
I worry that if investigating bodies pursue the matter to the fullest, we may wake up one morning with the news of Malacanang burned down for faulty wiring!
Heck, why worry about a kickback of US$130 million? The economy is doing well and there is only one person among 90 million Filipinos who can lead the ‘meeks’ to the enchanted kingdom of Xena Mekeni warrior!
