Will government thieves ever change? Doctor-reader asks

- The Ear -
December 16, 2008 | 12:00am

SHAMELESS PEOPLE. After reading The Philippine STAR’s banner headline saying ‘US Funding On Hold Due to RP Corruption” a reader, claiming to be medical doctor, called up the publisher (of TF) to comment on the headline: “Do you think there would be a time that these shameless thieves in the government would realize the harm they’re doing to our country?”

PRAYER. This same caller said everytime he passes by the Basilica he would stop and pray: “Sto. Niño tabangi among nasud ... Hipusa na ning mga kurap nga mga tawo sa gobyerno ... Wala pa man ko tubaga.”
