There are people here in our country who have new homes and better living conditions.

As for those who say that indirectly big businesses rely on the poor. Maybe here but in 1st world countries not so much. They rely on masses sure but that doesn't mean poor ang masses.

We can go on and on about this.. The simple fact is, it's bad enough to just sit on the sidelines while others are doing something for the country and their fellow men. What's worse is sitting on the sideline and criticizing those who help.


*chairman, ito naman ang itatanong ko sa'yo. para naman balanced hehehe.

what if you're head of a department of your big corporation. for the entire year, your bosses have been pressuring you and your department to contribute. say 10% of the company's total projected output for that particular year. by achieving so, you had countless overtimes, holiday works, missed a lot family events, pinned in the middle of complaining tired employees and pressuring upper management, became a victim of office politics and bureacracy etc... etc ... then on January you present to your bosses the 10% na pinaghirapan mo and your department.

a week after, your company issues a press statement that they are donating 10% of the previous year's income to charity/foundations. and you found out from accounting that the money will be taken from your department's outputs/funds. pano na? is it ok for you and just accept it as your part in helping others. with all that sacrifice, halos napabayaan mo pamilya mo, sarili mo and not to mention the morale of your subordinates. can you accept that in the new year, you have an almost broken home family to fix, while other families get fixed from your "donation".



somehow siguro you'll think hindi dapat ganun na lang kadali yun. ganun din sa mga companies in general. by donating to charity a hefty sum or something in kind, may katumbas yun, number of manhours worked by a particular group, the resources, etc etc ...


businesses are in the business of making money. and I firmly believe that they view their charitable acts more as a form of investment.
