I for one am happy to see that businesses have now a sense of social responsibility. let's not second guess their intentions. ika nga, let's just give them the benefit of the doubt and just help them.

Ask yourself this, am I helping the poor? Gawad Kalinga? if not wag na kayo mag reklamo kasi wala rin naman kayong naitutulong... O teka, bago kayo magalit wala akong pinapatamaan. I'm making a general statement. if you're not doing anything, don't complain. If you are doing something naman, just keep doing it.


if corporations don't give back to the community, then how many charities will go under? ask the beneficiaries if they view the hand that feeds and clothes them with suspicion.

casting a shadow of doubt on people who give, especially if one does nothing on his own (i'm not accusing anyone here either), sounds suspiciously like another form of crab mentality to me.
