| | HIC - Hope when there is no hope |
 | | This seems a good example of Christian hope of which it is said, “Christian hope begins when there is no hope.” Such hope appears to be deep in the bones of Filipinos, and luckily so for government and all in authority. |
 | | In Happyland, Tondo on January 2 we met thousands of such people, still patient, forbearing and hopeful for better days, though a fire destroyed the homes of 3,000 families there two days before the New Year began. |
 | | We would demand justice if a parent badly beat his or her children in Happyland, but we don’t mind the daily trauma the children suffer from noise, congestion, violence, hunger and fear of eviction. |
