While reading the newspaper to take a break from the headache that is the government, I read an article in the Inquirer about Anabelle Rama, and I quote:

"Dati, masyado akong makunat, maka-sarili. Hindi pala dapat ganoon. You have to share your blessings. Kung 'di ka mag share, hahabulin ka ng BIR. I-share mo nalang; tax deductible pa!"

And yes, I am slowly learning this trait of giving in order to receive in the Philippines; giving money in other to receive your goods...

Hay, onli in da pilipins
