October 23, 2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\">The Favor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">Please move on to the jokes if you don&#8217;t want to ponder.<br>WARNING: Serious stuff today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had a strange and very vivid dream last night: I had just parked my van outside the arrival area of an airport in a third world country. There was a mess of tourists who had just arrived and they were looking for a ride to their hotel. One of the expats asked me if I knew anyone who could drive them to their destination. And I said \u201csure, I can do that \u2026 I can take 6 of you and your luggage in my van \u2026 just wait here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I walked towards my van, I noticed a guard at the entrance. He was making sure no unauthorized taxi was able to come in. \u201cSo that\u2019s why there\u2019s a shortage of taxis or Uber drivers \u2026 they had to be authorized!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Airport.jpg\" alt=\"Airport mess\" class=\"wp-image-6137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Airport.jpg 576w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Airport-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guard pointed me to the airport security office to get permission and lo and behold, the head of security was an old friend-of-a-friend. I asked him if I could be allowed to pick up some people in the waiting area. He was extremely friendly and helpful. He understood it would be a lucrative job because I could charge up to $500 because these tourists were desperate. Dollar signs appeared in my eyes. Then in the privacy of his office, he whispered \u201cthere\u2019s price for this favor. I want 20 percent of what you make.\u201d I was staring at corruption in the face. This sleazy government official with his slick hair, manicured nails and thousand dollar suit must have the same deal going with a short list of drivers. The moral man in me said \u201cNo!\u201d but the hundreds of thousands of dollars of huge potential profit was hard to resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justification: I thought of my family and all of the things we could do with that money. Besides, other people were already doing it. No one would know of our secret agreement. It was a difficult decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I woke up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My first question to you: <\/strong>What would you have done? Stop and think. Be honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/corruption.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/corruption.jpg 576w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/corruption-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MY TAKE AWAY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This scenario helped me understand the tangled web of corruption in government. I suppose you\u2019ve heard of the billions of dollars paid to the Somalis in Minnesota \u2026 the billions of dollars already spent on the High Speed Rail System in California with hardly any track installed, the Daycare and Medicare scams, the payments made by Venezuela and China to several senators and congressmen, etc (the list is long and includes corruption in both parties). If one of these people (who was sworn to secrecy) flipped, the dominoes will start to fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My dream helped me see how easily anyone could fall into that trap, how deeply entrenched they are and why they are so desperate to bury the investigation. It&#8217;s too late to turn back. They\u2019ve already sold their souls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I grew up under the Marcos dictatorship. I have met some of these evil powerful people who unashamedly demanded kickbacks from our company. I know people who were &#8220;eliminated&#8221;. I recognize corruption. I&#8217;ve heard the sob stories of those who were sorry &#8230; that they were caught &#8230; indifferent to the lives they ruined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Ninoy.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Ninoy.jpg 576w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Ninoy-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/adventure\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Ninoy-320x220.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This November election, the powerful and worried people at the top of the food chain will bank on their subordinates to be too busy to research the facts. They have manipulated media to spread their lies. Blind fools will trust their party to have their best interest in mind so they will vote along party lines (even though the party has long deviated from its original noble mission).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My second question to you:<\/strong> Will your vote be for your party or will your vote for the good of the country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, this is just me.
