People with billions should at least give a few hundred thousand to their local communities, not to mention all the people who have helped them become who they are. Of course it's not a debt that they're paying off, but rather an effort that could get this country back on its feet.

Mabuhay si GMA. I wish na lahat ng mahihirap ay matulungan din ni GMA na makatapos sa pag-aaral upang umunlad ang Pilipinas. Tulad ng ibang bansa na libre ang pag-aaral sa mga di kayang mag-paaral ng kanilang mga anak. Kung mag-tutulungan ang tao sa Gobyerno, alam kung ang susunod na hinerasyon ay magtutulungan din dahil yon ang ipinamulat ng gobyerno. At marahil kung ang lahat ay nakatapos siguro naman ay maunlad na ang bansa natin dahil wala ng mga mangmang sa mahihirap.
