Thinking Out Loud

A financial analyst’s quandary is being seriously brainstormed by the financial management team of Manila Peninsula. The issue was that how a person known by the codename “Boy Check-in” checked in the hotel for no more than 12 hours yet will be footing a bill more than any private or corporate function ever held in Manila Pen.

Now seriously, I pity the pawns of this guy’s parlor games. He has blatantly exploited his subordinates by using the philosophy of chain of command yet at the middle of his adventurism, left the common sundalo to free-fall to doom. “Boy Check-in” has talked much of standing for what he believes is for the country yet have no courage to hold true even if only for standing for the right of his subordinates. I so pity the common sundalo that this guy has taken advantage of.

Perhaps, it is now time to look at the micro level of this event. What happens now to those soldiers who were only following the chain of command? But don’t get me wrong on this question, I am not saying that we release those soldiers who were only following instructions as they themselves had a choice before getting into what they had to go to. My point would be, are these people sympathetic to “Boy Check-in” will once again blame the government for whatever happens to the common sundalo? I say blood is on the hands of those who orchestrated this sad even of our history.
