Things Every Filipino Can Do to Help Our Country

After reading an email on how to make our country better, I realized that it's not really difficult to fulfill that dream. There is still hope. If each and every pinoy could do this, there'll be peace and order and justice in our beloved country. Kasunod na nito ang economic growth.

Correct ka dyan KU. I despise bribery. Nung kumuha ako ng driver's license, todo review ako. Ayokong mag-lagay sa mga taga-LTO. Sabi punta daw ako sa cashier at magbayad ng P300. So nagbayad ako. Pagbigay sa akin ng resibo, may kasamang maliit na papel na mukhang pamandepot. Tinignan ko yung papel, panay mga letra - a, d, e, a, etc. Nagduda ako. Nung tignan ko yung resibo, P180 lang ang nakalagay. Yung sobra eh para sa kodigong kasama. grrrrr!
