On Lulis, Politics and the Vain and Insane

Why do they publicize the Luli Arroyo too much and commend her that she did not use her influence just because she is the First Daughter of PGMA?

To those who are not aware, Luli is the daughter of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and she was wrongly reprimanded by an officer in NAIA just because she criticized the officer's lax morals on letting foreigners cut the line in front of Luli.

Is it that it is just the right thing to do if one is a son/daughter of a high official? It must be because here in the Philippines you don't see that too often. She is only doing what is right, no, what is supposed to be. You don't commend a janitor for throwing the trash out everyday because it is his duty and it is what he is expected to do. The publicity and the manner the Luli incident is presented by the media tells us that what she did was out of the ordinary. Well, maybe her good behavior in the face of the Philippine politics' reputation is out of the ordinary. Fools.

On a heavier note, one would observe that there is an increase in the advertisers' pitching of chemicals to slather on the skin of the 'vain and insane' that one would ask 'Is anything sacred in this world anymore?' There seems to be a rising demand for Filipinos to be in the know with their Asian neighbors. Who dictates this demand? Society of course. But the difficulty in distinguishing which aspects of society is responsible for this heinous act is that we can't place the dot on which is 'socially induced' and natural.

Hey don't hate me, this is just an observation.
