"This photo in today's Inquirer perfectly captures the ordeal that school children go through when local governments suspend classes too late on a rainy day, when public funds that are supposed to go to better roads, efficient transport and de-clogging drainage systems are misused and pocketed by those in office, and when constituents of LGUs started electing officials who give them dole outs, but don't have the best interest of their cities and the country at heart. Look at that face. I hope we all start caring again about the future of this country." - Terrie Fucanan Yu
