Vantage Point

Everyone has cheated in any which way he can. That’s a fact. But wait, I won’t be joining the bandwagon of Joey de Leon & Willie Revillame feud or the infamous alledge cheating at Wilyonario promo at Wowowee, lots of comments & discussion has been done towards that issue, although I have my own opinion, I’d rather keep it to myself.

Going back, I believe that each one of us had done cheating, maybe during the examination in school, by lying to our parents & other forms. We cheat/lie to keep ourselves out of trouble. I remember my classmates (and I) would do everything just to pass the examination, “kodigo” is the most effective way of passing the exam (besides having to stay late at night & burn your eyebrows). Although being familiar with the “kodigo” culture, I was shocked when I saw this:

I’ve used every trick of the trade but I did not try anything close to this. Maybe because I never had 20 pesos in my pocket while studying in high school. Hindi lang yun ang dahilan, I was raised to have respect on any symbol that represents my country, isa na dito ang monetary notes.

Marami akong nakitang pambabastos sa national symbols, sa pera per se, I’ve seen the old 5 peso bill na nilagyan ng shades si Aguinaldo, hindi ba nakikita ng mga taong ito ang kahalagahan nito sa atin bilang bansa?

I don’t wanna be melodramatic about this, I just think that we ought to give some respect to anything that represents our country. Paano natin aasahan ang respeto mula sa ibang tao kung hindi natin kayang irespeto ang ating mga sarili.
