2 Honest Soldiers.

     A few weeks ago, 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. It was quickly returned to the the wife of the owner, a businessman who's still missing in the slide area. The wife of the missing victim was happy and grateful to the two soldiers after giving back the money but she was also saddened that the body of her husband may never 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 standard being given by the leaders whom we are supposed to look up to and imitate, the ordinary Filipino folk refuses to mimic them and are still trustworthy and honorable.

     Let's hope pray that these upright and law-abiding citizens will remain the same even after being exposed to the bad pattern 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.
