An Indonesian politician once visited a Filipino politician in Manila.

The Indonesian was astonished when he saw his colleague’s mansion—huge, luxurious, with a massive swimming pool.
He asked in disbelief:
“Wow! Such a grand house! How can you possibly afford this on a government salary?”

The Filipino politician simply smiled, pointed out the window, and said:
“See that big bridge over there? Ten percent of the project comes to me.”

A year later, the Filipino politician paid a return visit to Jakarta.
This time, he was stunned. Before him stood a palatial estate—five swimming pools, twenty cars, even a private golf course.

Amazed, he asked:
“My friend, how did you ever pay for all of this?”

The Indonesian politician grinned, gestured out the window, and said:
“See that bridge?”

The Filipino peered outside, looked around carefully, and frowned.
“I don’t see any bridge.”

The Indonesian leaned closer and whispered with a sly smile:
“Exactly.” 😉
