Exposès are often shocking, even if some are "open secrets".
I wasn't shocked with the news of a General involved in graft and
corruption or a GSIS executive getting huge loans faster than he can
say "more moolah". But I was shocked at the amount of money that they
have amassed over the years. Keep it up and Erap's loot will pale in
comparison.
Next shocking exposè (and I'd like to focus on this one) is the
error-laden history textbook used in public schools throughout the
country. The book, "Asya: Noon, Ngayon at sa Hinaharap", has 430
errors in its 316 pages. That's 1.37 errors per page. It's disturbing
enough that spelling and grammar errors are present in a history
textbook, but when erroneous facts are fed onto millions of students,
you begin to realize how low the educational system can go. A recall
of the books will not happen, but a teaching note will be given to
teachers to correct the mistakes. Oh goodie! (said with eyes rolling
so fast, it's nauseating).
If it's any consolation, a European factbook has left Wales off the
map on its cover. A huge blunder but not as catastrophic as knowing
that your children will never get their facts straight!
