I remember during my flying days, arriving at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Feb 14 at 6:30 p.m. Just as we landed, the Filipino passengers, all in bright red, excitedly rushed out of the plane. At the airport, we were greeted "Happy Valentine’s Day," by the janitor, and the immigration and customs officials. Can you imagine a Hong Kong or a United States immigration officer greeting you this way?

According to Confucian wisdom, "the exemplary person helps to bring out the best in others." Christmas came 500 years after Confucius spoke those words, and Jesus, the very heart of Christmas, did exactly what the wise man from China said.


There was something good in every person and Jesus tirelessly brought out the good in everyone. He even had reason to love each one.
