The poor people are always the victims who lack courage and strength to fight for their rights. Personally, I witnessed this situation in the Philippines in our place a few years ago. Our place was hit by typhoon Frank and many houses collapsed and many plantations were swept away by the flood. One victim of the calamity is my brother. He and others were promised 10000 pesos each by the government to rebuild their houses. For the record, they were asked to come to the municipal hall of to write their names as proof that they were the victims that would receive such amount. However, months and years have passed, but they have not received anything. Now it is forgotten. Who was to be blamed? Cheating is really an extremely disgusting attitude especially when coming from officials of the country. The poor victims of the calamity were victimized by our own government officials by succumbing to corruption for their own benefit. It is so sad for the poor. It is so shameful for the heartless. Who will care for our plight? No one, except our fellow poor, the victims. God bless the victims of calamities and injustice. The senatorial election is coming up in the Philippines. It is our right and privilege to vote wisely. We can choose the one whom we think respond to the needs of our society. Surely we Filipinos have some idea who among them is a worthy instrument of our development and worthy of our previous vote, who will carry out their obligations with credibility and give concern to the plight of the Filipino migrant workers.
