Are you in a good place or are you in a better place?

The listening and reading comprehension of Filipinos nowadays are very alarming. There was a viral video of Vice President Leni Robredo greeting a celebrity, Kim Chiu, where she said, "I know you're in a good place now."

Some Filipinos went crazy and ridiculed the VP for being dumb and laughed at the celebrity for being dead or something.

And I asked myself, "Is there something wrong what the VP said to the celebrity?"

The answer is no.

The BASHERS were like, "in a good place" is something you tell to a dead person.

WRONG! IT'S A NO.

The BASHERS also added that "in a good place" means heaven because of a Netflix movie called The Good Place.

WRONG! STILL A NO.
