MAYBE army ants could fix the roads here and teach our officials a thing or two, heh 
Here’s an excerpt from the Inquirer and Reuters article:
WASHINGTON — Army ants tired of potholes take one for the team, throwing their bodies into rough spots to make a smoother road for their sisters, two British researchers reported on Sunday.
The two researchers found that army ants of Central and South America match their own bodies to the size of the hole they want to plug.
In fact, according to the researchers’ report in the journal Animal Behavior, several ants even plunge together to fill in bigger holes.

You’re looking for people/politicians to own their responsibility or the lost virtue of “bayanihan”? Even our own army who are supposed to be bastions of discipline cannot get it together. How much more for a politician. Face it. Public service is not in the interest of our politicians. Be it left or right wing. In the end, all care for what’s in it for them and how they are perceived.
