Oprah opened her school in south africa last week, nurturing more than 150 poor south african girls and to give them a chance for a better future. The whole school costs around $40,000,000.00. Built on 21 hectares (52 acres), the 28-building campus, which was originally to cost $10 million, is said to resemble more a luxury hotel than the rundown schools most of the girls know. It boasts state-of-the-art classrooms, computer and science laboratories, a library and theater as well as a wellness center.
But, what if Oprah was a filipino politician? Will she still construct a school that costs $40 million?
On my point of view, I don't think she'll be spending too much on constructing a school that costs $40 million. Not even a million dollar to reconstruct schools that have been devastated by the past typhoons. Instead, she'll put that much money to a swiss acount or any account that is far from the Philippines so no one will see it!
Our government doesnt care much about education and the future of the young filipinos! They are afraid to be out throned by the new generation filipinos, they only want their children to rule the philippines in next generation!
Last sunday while listening to the homily of Fr.Jayson Gomez, there are many types of searching, like what the three kings did in search of the newly born king! He said our politicians are in search for getting more power and how to stay in power, they will do everything just to have power, even killing other peoples lives!
Going back to Oprah and the Philippines, i hope one day Philippines would be like Oprah, serving others is one of her priority and not looking for bigger power! At the end of the day, you wont be needing this power! You and me will lie down on the same thing, maybe mine is made of wood and yours is metal, but we all know where are we going to!goodnight!:)
