My condolences to the people who are suffering as a result of the Manila hostage incident that happened yesterday.
Be it the families of the victims or the other innocent philiphine people working in other countries. All this happens because of an inept corrupt government with a lousy police force.
My home country, take heed. This might be where things are heading if the top guns don't buck up.
I am studying to be a doctor because I want to save lives, I want people to have better quality of lives. I want them to stay healthy and happy. But here is an instance where precious lives are just wasted for nothing.
I would like to serve the people in my home country but the situation there is just too hopeless and I don't see any chance it will be changing a lot soon. Sometimes, we have to be a little bit selfish too - because they are not looking out for our welfare at all. Because to them, we are just 'pendatang'. So tell me why should I stay and be discriminated against?
I was listening to this song in Glee, I wish the lyrics were true. Can I be an idealist?
Imagine

I hate what is happening in the Philippines. And we started out so hopeful with the new presidency. Now this? It is beyond disappointing.
