Do you know how truly amazing the Filipino “Bayanihan” spirit is? I came across an article on the print version of the Philippine Daily Inquirer yesterday and I was touched by one of the stories. Apparently even Filipino convicted criminals in prison are doing their fair share of helping out with the relief operations for Ondoy! According to the article, the Mandaue inmates gave up one meal so that the money used to buy their food would just be given as a donation to the relief operations. Other than that, the Cebu inmates (popular for the dancing thingy) are giving cash from their own pockets as well.
This is a shining example of why the Filipino race is great. Despite all of the problems these guys are facing inside prison, they still have it in them to dig deep into their hearts for charity! Man… simply awe-inspiring. If the inmates donated, then there’s absolutely no reason for you guys not to pitch in as well.
To the inmates of Mandaue and Cebu, mabuhay kayo mga kapatid!
