CCTV camera caught UNDERDOG without his costume saving another dog.
Have you ever got the chance to watch UnderDog? No?
What you’re about to see is the real Underdog. This amazing CCTV video was taken in one of Chile’s busiest highway. One dog tried crossing the highway and for an instant hesitated. This almost cost him his life if not for the selfless heroism of another dog. Knocked unconscious by a speeding car, the first dog fell on the path of other vehicles. Not one of these vehicles stopped even for a moment to help.
Driving is a good teacher. It never fails to amaze me after so many years the lessons it provides to those willing to take notice. Take driving in General Santos City, one can never get enough of the roads jammed with tricycles.
Today I learned not to give in to road rage. I was happily chugging along in my BMW (in my dreams) when the tricycle ahead of me suddenly stopped in the middle of the highway to pick-up a passenger. No signals or anything… just a complete stop. Fortunately, I was able to step on the brakes and swerve to the right.
Beware of tricycle drivers. Most of them have the philosophy of "nobody will touch me because I'm just a teeny weeny tricycle".
A politicians bottle of water
Now at the aftermath of the storm, I can see that the Philippines is indeed a nation of heroes and villains. Where heroes sprouted… villains grew. And politician reared there ugly heads… Don’t get me wrong but I have yet to hear of a politician who has not taken advantage of the devastation and death left by Ondoy and Pepeng.
I’ve seen them help people in their oh-so-clean clothes surrounded by bodyguards. I’ve seen them “inspect the damage”. It would have been better for them to sit in their office and use their power to organize the relief and rescue operations. Might it be that politicians were meant to be villains after all?
