Two honest Filipino soldiers helping the quake victims in Negros Oriental dug up by accident Php90,000 (US$2,093) in cash on the landslide area. The soldiers were trying to dig up the remains of people buried under the landslide caused by the earthquake. The cash was quickly returned to wife of the owner, a businessman still missing and believed to be buried under the landslide. The wife of the missing victim was happy and grateful to the two soldiers but she was also saddened that the body of her husband was still yet to be recovered.
It's good that these young soldiers were not tempted to pocket the money for themselves. Another classic example of ordinary Filipinos still being honest and decent despite our immoral leaders in society. Why do I always mention the disparity between ordinary Filipinos and the leaders of this nation? To show all of you that in spite of the bad examples being given by our leaders whom we are supposed to look up to, obey and imitate, the ordinary Filipino folk refuses to mimic their evil deeds and are still trustworthy and honorable.
Let's all hope and pray that these upright and law-abiding people will remain the same even after being exposed to the bad examples set by our leaders. We all know that these misfits and scumbags in our society have a very, very contagious disease, a disease called greediness or graft and corruption.
