Sangguniang Kabataan (SK*) council member Lira Sanchez (not her real name) remembers the first time she received her “SOP,” the so-called standard operating procedure, otherwise known as love gifts or kickbacks, from projects in their barangay in Metro Manila.

She was 16 years old then, and the sight of the P6,000-cash being handed to her made her hesitate. “Di po ba ito bawal (Isn’t this illegal)?” the girl asked. She was assured that it wasn’t, adding: “Kahit si Kap meron niyan (Even the barangay captain has his share).”

Mula sa balita.
