What do you think? A Hero or a Zero?

After spending a day in MOA, around 7pm I was on my way home when I had this urge to have a bowl of good 'ol street "lugaw." I was hungry and I had this strong desire, who cares if it was clean or not - food is food! So I gave my P20 and ordered my hot lugaw. You wont believe it! It was so good especially in a cold january night, at the street of Baclaran I felt I was dining first class.

As I squeezing my calamansi for my lugaw, an MMDA officer came. He was dressed in blue with a backpack, I guessed his shift was over since he was hesterically laughing and telling his stories for the day. Out of nowhere he uttered these words: "oh kayo! sa friday may raid dito!"

At first I had a mixture of feelings when he said those words, was I to be happy or to be disappointed. Was he a hero or a zero?

That MMDA officer, I thought, was a hero for the people who were doing "good" business but didnt follow the requirements of the law. Think about it, the "lugawan" was honest business they just didnt have the money to pay the taxes and fees for the location. With so many government requirements and fees, its such a burden to follow especially by the lower class. The small lower class business would rather pay the "tong" than the lump of fees.

The modern day robinhood, in contrary, was also a zero! He gave information that may have helped the "illegal" businesses. The element of suprise (which is now gone) could have captured those people.

As I write this entry, I am still confused on what to think. What do you think, was he a hero or a zero?
