Integrity

For the past few days the headlines of National and local news networks has been centered on the drug bribery scandal between PDEA and the DOJ. The situation has blown in a massive proportion that high ranking officers of the AFP and the DOJ has been accusing each other of their wrong doing. Among the people that are part of this grand circus one man stands out. He is a marine officer that is loyal to his sworn duty to serve and protect the people and the constitution. Major Marcelino is a model soldier and a true citizen of our country. He has shown to us how to live life fairly and that how important is honesty for him. On the lifestyle checks conducted by the media it is said that this officer is living a simple and meager life compared to other officers with the same rank. It is a common fact that with his rank and in this country he must live like a “king”. He chose to live life fairly for the reason that he still believes that there is a chance to reform our country if we are serious about it. It is a sign for us Filipinos that if we do what Major Marcelino does maybe, we can help make our country a better place.
