In this country it is sad and the same time touched to read this kind of stories, but our government officials conscientiously spent the money that supposedly for the less fortunate ones. CROCODILES with ties should be vanished!

Thank you so much for your effort and kindness......may GOD continue to shower you good health together with all the people who really cares for the less fortunate souls of this planet!..........thank you, thank you!

Zamboanga City is my hometown and this gives me pleasure in knowing there are people willing to help with the use of the written word. I am glad a fellow citizen took action in helping the less fortunate. I hope many will encounter this article and take part in the project. I hope many will see our city in a different light, not just city of war and conflict.

Well,this story is most admirable stating that we are humans and we are cordial to each others.Besides war and different disputes we can rarely perceive the news of greatness rescues.As a fact this concludes every humans are capable of helping each others in different cases,just like the above case giving funds,stepping forward and so on..
