Yes. I was shocked by it when I learned of the practice. It is terribly cruel and selfish.

Sad that some people have no conscience in doing that to their parents. How were they able to sleep peacefully, when they know that the very parents who loved and took care of them and gave them education, were put in a place where they cannot be disturbed.

Good thing, here in the Philippines, majority of the old people are being taken cared of their children until their death. The children loves their parents that’s why.

There are reports that are published about the most corrupt countries and also the nicest countries. I remember seeing reports on both. I remember one report that said Ireland was one of the nicest or “goodest” countries.

The information gathered about corrupt countries is informative but it is also very sad. The late Ray Charles sang a song with these lyrics: “None of us are free. If one of us is chained, none of us are free.”

You or we … have a tendency to review these reports and breath a sigh of relief when our country is not in the Top 10. But then, you have to think:
~ Is there no way the people in those countries can be set free?

If you’re in a corrupt country, with a ruthless regime, it’s worse than being a slave in chains!

I was scared we’d be in the top ten. We are in the top ten of the most dangerous cities…Kingston.

thank god india is not in this list …

Speaking corruption, the Philippines has a lot of corrupt officials. In fact, everyone is clamoring to enter politics because they want to enrich themselves through those projects being implemented in the place where they rule.

But with us having a new president now, so bent in curbing corruption and in fact, have relieved the whole management of its Bilibid prison, where drug lords have their shabu laboratories.

He has already a strict instruction that government employees should expedite all government trasactions and report those who asks for bribes.

I Hope this is the beginning of at least the lessening if not for the eradication of corruption in the government.

For people who don’t like to watch horror, they should read Edgar Allan Poe. The reading is so worth it!

The previous Presidents of the U.S were posing themselves as true Americans and remained as such the completion of their term of office. They remained, enjoyed, and did not and said nothing for the U.S.
Mr. Trump on the contrary and beyond the expectations of his own non-supporters in the Elections has bent upon keeping and giving a shape to the promises he addressed and made during the Election campaign.
The construction of Wall along the Mexican border has been the centerpiece of his promises made in the Campaign. He wanted to fulfill it after becoming the President. There is no surprise in it. It happens rarely. It appears as a great surprise because no previous Presidents tried to pay attention to the promises made in the election campaign.

How one can criticize Mr. Donald if he says and declares his country is for safety and welfare of Christians and takes steps to this effect.

He is not a lady ordering something in the restaurant which she does not know and protest latter.

He is not, his supporters, and many Americans show ‘shock’ at it. Why? He said so. The fact is, I don’t think a lot of Americans really expected it. If you read American news…

I like to read, though long time I did not, its due the work and home and house and garden and lots of things that make you busy from things you must do like reading and posting in my humble opinion, thank you for this nice aricle and really needs to go and read a little but I am into real life boooks and parenting or psychology books, not other type of books, as I feel these books teach you , yes all the books give you few details that may help you in life and bit in daily work, but at the end it depend on what you do and how you daily routine, that will decide the type of book you read and why you read and when you get it
