Take the simple question: What is it exactly about the current governance system in the Philippines that…

They say never let the day end without apologizing to someone you have offended. Otherwise, if you wait a long time before saying, “I’m sorry”, feelings of anger could fester and as master Yoda would say, “anger leads to hate” and by the time you finally apologize, it could be too late.
