LYING seems to be a disease that continually spreads in our society. More often than not we encounter people who tell lies. It does not only affect little children who are afraid of being scolded or teens who are afraid of being grounded. It also affects grown-ups as well because there are times that they want to protect their ego. Lying is not only a sickness of common people. The disease is so strong that it already invaded Malacañang as well. Imagine the place where the most powerful person in the country resides has been conquered already. It seems like this disease is really fatal and it has no cure. Oh, my poor Philippines!!!

The hardest tumble a man can make is to fall over his own bluff. ~Ambrose Bierce
We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger. ~Tad Williams
