A Filipino politician visited a Japanese politician in Tokyo.
The Filipino was amazed:
“Wow! This public hospital is world-class — modern equipment, clean rooms. How do you manage this with government funds?”
The Japanese politician smiled:
“See the budget? 90% for the hospital, 10% for me.”
A year later, the Japanese politician visited Manila. He was brought to a grand private resort owned by the Filipino politician — with villas, cars, and pools.
He asked:
“Did the government also fund this?”
The Filipino whispered:
“See the hospital?”
The Japanese looked around and said:
“I don’t see any hospital.”
The Filipino grinned:
“Exactly.” 😅
