A Great Honesty..

Despite of all the calamities and problems we are facing now, There are still big Hope for us and Good deeds that deserved to be rewarded.. Alexander "Stitch" Latag another filipino hero..He's working as a waiter in a restaurant in a Mall. While cleaning the table, he found a plastic thinking it was just a garbage but to his surprise, it has a money worth P1M. What he did was find the owner and honestly returned that big amount of money and for this, he was being rewarded a hundred thousand pesos. A big blessing for a job well done! I was wondering.. How many of us could be like Alexander? With this high prices we are experiencing now and great demands in our daily needs, I'm sure a lot of us would decide to keep the money instead..and use it for our own needs..But for Alexander he is a truly an Honest person his first instinct was to find the owner and give back the money.

Alexander gave us another reason to be proud of being a Filipino! (Are you?) well, not all Filipinos are bad. Although Filipinos has gained bad image in other countries, but let us not generalize those feedbacks.. there are still those who we could consider “Good Samaritans” those that has a good heart that could be trusted with pure attitude towards his job, and others. I still hope he could touch others heart with his “Great Honesty” I hope and pray for more Alexanders to come and that this short story could leave a big dot in our hearts and mind. Maybe this could remain as a great lesson for all of us..
