Keep Them Flying

I was surfing the net early this morning, i woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep, and I came across a blog about a Mac owner who brought his unit to the store he bought it from, located in Makati, due to a battery problem. He was told that the problem had to be referred to Apple Singapore office. Several followups were made by him, each time he was given alibis for not having any positive response about his problem. To shorten the story, he found out that he was told lies by people from the Makati store after he personally got in touched with the Singapore office who informed him of the absence of any referral from Makati.
I was struck by this, because it is a reflection of what ails the Philippine society today. I have read a few days earlier about a foreign observer who mentioned about the Filipinos' damaged culture. Up front, I couldn't agree less. This is what is really happening to the Filipino, from the topmost of government, to the lowest level of society. Something is just not right. There is a loss of the sense of decency, honesty, respect, good manners, uprightness, integrity, etc.
This deterioration of our values is very evident in our daily dealings with people everywhere; in the workplace, in establishments, and worse with people in government offices. Of course, there are still many good people around, they may even be still the majority, but the actuations of the others on the opposite end of the spectrum are so observable, so visible that they seem to prevail. The deterioration is getting worse with time.
This decline has to be corrected because if not, I am afraid of where we as a country and as a people are heading to. I love this country, I want to still be a proud Pinoy.
GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES!
