Undoubtedly the Phl’s pride

THOUGHTS TO GUIDE US BY - Elvie Punzalan-Estavillo - The Philippine Star

Surprise, surprise! Alex Eala springs us with her incredible wins in Hong Kong, and for the magnanimous acts she repeatedly did. Sincerely, and with her best intentions for young Filipinos who wanted to play tennis but had no resources, i.e. tennis courts, rackets, balls, coaches, other essentials, Alex donated the prizes she won in Singapore, Nagoya, Ningbo and Tokyo! Prizes that were fruits of her many years of sacrifices, and years of deprivation of being a regular child and a teenager. These, she did to help the next generation of Filipino children in their dreams of becoming top tennis players in the world.

In sharp contrast, the thieving corrupt politicians, officials and others, massively, shamelessly stole our people’s money. Thus stealing the future of young Filipinos they deprived of better quality education, of better sports facilities to develop their talents and abilities. Deprived the Filipinos of proper, better health facilities. Deprived our country of necessary operating structures that control floods, good roads, sturdy bridges, cheap electricity, etc.

The Filipinos are angered that even during these times when flood control anomalies are being investigated, insertions in staggering amounts were hidden in our 2027 budget. Have they become so callous, shameless, unbothered that their past budget insertions have devastated our economy, brought unimaginable hardships to millions of our kababayans and destroyed our country’s reputation?

In summary: while Alex gives her own money to help our young Filipinos, on top of the honor, pride and yes, RESPECT she gives to our beloved Motherland, the corrupts in our government are stealing people’s taxes, shattering our country’s image thus, causing us disaster.

Alex, undoubtedly, is the Philippines’ pride!

Peace, good health, safety, abundance to us all!
