TRAPO BELIEFS

When you are in a long line and a friend stopped by, asking you to let him "sumingit," and you let him in, is that wrong? Or you went to the municipal office and called to the side your "kakilala" to expedite your business, right? Perhaps, you need to finish a transaction and to achieve that meant the practice of "lagay" even if that meant violating laws? How about claiming we are a democracy and not being able to handle criticism but instead "makisama?" Or "Makiisa" to our religious and secular ways combined into one (church and state togetherness)? Or use public money to employ individuals who later will become your personal "alipores?" Or believe, "nasa dugo" is a valid credential of a democratic leader...ha ha ha.

Do continue your traditional manners...
