Our ability to help one anothermust be matched by actual
practice .
It is not enough to speak
of good deeds.
We must make them a
facet of our lives."
"It was a class act of a different order, but a class act nonetheless,
for writer Laurence Housman to take off his jacket at a proper
English tea party so that a man who had just arrived in shirt
would not feel embarrassed."

Habang nasa bus ako kanina pauwi, i saw a lot of class acts. little acts, you might call it, but then it is an act to recognize. Isang babae ang nagbigay ng upuan niya sa isang ale na nakatayo kasama yung dalawa nyang maliit na anak. Kahit na babae din sya, madami syang dala, at malayo pa ang pupuntahan niya, pinaupo pa din nya ung ale.
May isang lalaki na nakatayo sa bus. Antok na antok na sya. tingin ko nga makakatulog na sya kahit nakatayo. May bumaba sa Libertad kaya nakaupo na din sya. sa wakas. Hindi pa man sya nakakatulog, may lalaking sumakay na may bitbit na maliit na bata. Wala na silang upuan kaya pinaupo nung lalaki ung mag-ama kahit antok na antok na sya at gusto nyang makatulog sa byahe.
I don't know these persons by name. It is my first time to see them.
But I respect their little good deeds. I acknowledge it in my own way.
They've touched me.
