An unfortunate incident

Recently, there was a news report about a brawl between a cabinet official's son and few men with another man and 14-year old son over a golf game at a known golf club in the metro. What's intolerable was that this cabinet official did not even tried to stop the fight and his mere apathy to the situation was already a consent to his son's actions.

This is really an unfortunate event and I feel sorry for the man and his son. This incident could've been prevented, if the people in the scene stopped them, most especially the cabinet official. Such an event is intolerable and a bad example of how a politician should act. To let you know, the cabinet official's son is a town mayor of a municipality in Mindanao and he used his position to threaten the two people in the said incident.

We should not tolerate these people from doing such actions, especially those who have positions in government. All government officials should lead by example. They are there to help and serve the people, and not to enslave and maltreat them.
