I admire their compassion and integrity....It's just great to know that such people still exist. By people I mean people whose main goal is to be a public servant and not just a politician.
"Now I know the difference. I salute you both for handling everything with grace. In addition to that, I would like to congratulate our next president and Vice President. It's time to prove to us that they're not as bad as how others perceive them. God bless the Philippines!"
