Ostentious display of wealth prohibited among govt officials prohibited RA 6713

It is more fun criticizing

Its scandalous that the children and wives of politicians are being bashed at soc media because they say, the sins of parents are not the sins of children.  But there are laws that prohibit such display of profligacy:   RA 6713:   

     Section 4h:    h) Simple living. - Public officials and employees and their families shall lead modest lives appropriate to their positions and income. They shall not indulge in extravagant or ostentatious display of wealth in any form.

Take note nepo babies and DPWH contractors too.  Maybe the law declared it so because it hurts.  Its like rubbing salt into an open wound.   It must include also government contractors and suppliers?

All that glitters cant be gold; leading a luxurious life need not be glamorous or to wowed!

It is more fun criticizing

Due to this investigation of corruption and we relate this to beautiful clothes, cars, mansions of celebs, we need not feel slighted nor feel less privileged anymore.   Whether they wear AP, or Rolex or Philip Patek or Lamborghini Miura, or a Ferrari F40 or they are fashion icon wearing fabulous jewelry, we should lessen our admiration of them.

There was a classmate (he is now deceased) who wears a necklace of high karat necklace who used to be a contractor at DE 2 at a nearby province.  The DE close to him was a kumare pa.

This post met a contractor also for DE in an island province.  She is a HO account of a bank and was known to order closure of a jewelry store in MM.  She has properties in key cities of Asia.  When I met her she wore earrings rings, bracelets of diamond (high karat) and a gold watch with diamonds.  It could have been several millions.  

But now they are probably hiding these stuff.    They could have sourced from illegal deals or worse stolen from taxpayers money.  As this investigations are ferreting them out  It is safer not to show the spoils of theft and besides it is prohibited under RA 6713, 4h

Not so glamorous to be wearing expensive stuff
