i left the office around midnight, thankful that i missed the brunt of friday night traffic and managed not to get killed by near-invisible pylons from unfinished road repairs. then i saw this link on my newsfeed. and i got to thinking. in two weeks time, ill see my paycheck slashed by the usual 32% tax while i navigate through broken roads in a country where basic services are practically non-existent. and yet i know i belong to the privileged minority- not because im rich, but because so many are poverty-stricken and consigned to what seem like hopeless lives interrupted by noontime shows and natural disasters. and on a tired and hungry friday night, here is what i thought- which is truly cruel, inhuman or degrading, a mug shot or the reasons why it was taken? irony. its more monstrous in the philippines.
