mababa msyado ang pay na IT pro ng pinoy specially yung nsa gov, kaya tuloy pansin
mo na puro palpak ang sytem programming ng gov natin, and one the example nga is
yung mga website nila na bulok
- gobyernong bulok
  
  lalo na ang mga nasa front liner ng gov’t agency….corruption ay d na mawawala…..even sa napakaliit na posisyon sa gov’t ay nangungurakot na.
  Madami ding mga empleyado sa gov’t na HINDI deserving sa posisyon sa I.T., marunong lng pumindot ay I.T. na…masabing nasa EDP or MIS department ay I.T. na., mga walang alam ang pinapasahod ng ng taong bayan….nagaantay na lng na mga retirement nila.
