This after a Twitter user said the country’s “biggest problem” is bureaucracy, saying the public do not elect “corrupt customs officials” or examiners from the Bureau of Internal Revenue who allegedly “demand bribes” just like how “we don’t elect sex offender priests.”

The Twitter user was reacting to Locsin’s earlier tweet urging the public to elect “good government officials” to “get good government.” The country’s top diplomat’s post  was in response to a Twitter post of Senator Panfilo Lacson, who said  that the “biggest problem of our country is the government.”
