Kaban ni D_BystandeR: DALAYGON ANG PAGPANGAYO'G PASAYLO NI TOBY

It is just normal, fitting and proper that Rep. Toby Tiangco issue his apology for causing damage to the friendship between the Poe and Binay families. And he should not be faulted for that because he has also his own reason for doing it. But it is only when a person tries to apologize for doing something wrong and having realized that in hindsight that we can see the real kind  of a person that he is. He is not afraid to accept his fault when the situation  arises and demanded an apology and that is one of the greatest hallmark  of a real person that Toby Tiangco has been made of. It is by humbling  yourself in that particular moment that we begin to realize the greatness of  the man. And didn't our Lord Jesus Christ made it a semblance of an  enigmatic question when He said, "Those who portray themselves as braggart  and unrepentant will be pulled down to ignominy, but those who humbled themselves will be rewarded a place in heaven and they will be called the  children of God." And Toby Tiangco deserves to be praised for humbling  himself in the face of what he realized in hindsight as a big mistake that  should not have been done in the first place.
