Disasters bring out both the best and the worst in people. It’s a good thing that for most of what I’m seeing, it’s the best that has come out.

Save for a few crass, tasteless, and plain idiotic comments here and there, many of our countrymen have shown real class in the aftermath of the typhoon Ondoy. I’m glad to see the people, especially the youth, all eager to volunteer, everyone pitching out selflessly.

Forget the politicians who are shamelessly slapping on their campaign materials on their relief goods. Remember the hands belonging to many unknown who have worked tirelessly in relief centers all across the metro.

It’s really a convincing sign that for this country, there is hope yet.
