tototo. prevalent pa rin talaga ang social inequality sa Pilipinas. lalim ng topic, saang libro mo ba to nakuha?
I've read many books po. That was my report about social inequality last year sa philosophy class po namin. Naisip ko lang i-share after watching the news na ung mahihirap, nakukulong dahil naviolate ung social distancing whil ung mayayaman, prenteng nakaupo sa mansion nila. Hindi naman si Koko at si PNP Chief sinasabi ko pero parang ganun na nga.
Well written po. An interesting one. :)

This is a very sad and a true reality. Its happening because of corrupt leaders. Hope it will change, but i think it cannot cause history repeat itself, so it keeps on repeating.
