Simple acts of disrespect to the elderly, or abuse TO the younger generation or even BY the younger generation ... these things happen in a day to day basis.
These problems have reached an alarming state; as you can see or hear about it in every news corner. What's worse , is that we become desensitized on these events that the Filipino spirit of "pagiging makatao" is slowly perishing.
