Teditorial: Proud to be Filipino

It is not just more fun in the Philippines, it is damned more decent.

By: Teddy Locsin Jr.

I am sorry to obssess on the issue, but it proves how morally superior the Filipino race is because what happened to that Indian girl would never happen here nor would Filipinos react to it with the same cruel indifference as the Indian public. The fiance of the Indian girl, who was also beaten and stripped naked, before being thrown out of the bus with the Indian girl after 6 men boxed her genitals and raped her as well with an iron bar.

The couple lay naked on the ground. No passerbys helped them. Not one offered a jacket to cover the blood drenched Indian girl's nakedness. I guess they figured the blood covered her vital parts anyway.

And while the girl underwent 3 savage surgeries in an Indian hospital, Singapore took her in, but to no avail, Indian police continued interrogating her fiance while he was naked and bleeding, probably trying to get him to confess that he did it to his fiance and to himself as well.

I have gone into these gruesome details to show that this is not a crime of violence against women but a crime against humanity, that the Indian justice system now stands on trial for its justified existence and that the true meaning of democracy is not the sum total of a govt's mandate at the polls, but by its willingness to protect its people and by decency of its behavior in power. This would never ever happen with Filipinos. Both sides at Edsa showed our moral quality as a race. It is not just more fun in the Philippines, it is damned more decent. Be proud to be Filipino. We don't shoot 26 kids in a kindergarten either.

Good night and good luck.
