Model Citizen

I did what a good citizen had to do. I got my 2007 Community Tax Certificate (more popularly known as sedula) earlier today. Should I had gone to get it at the city hall, I would've paid around 25 pesos. But I decided to get thru the City Treasurer's Office booth here at the office so I had to pay almost ten times that amount. To get one's CTC, the law says a citizen has to pay the city government 1 peso for every 1 thousand pesos he/she earns annually. Of course, nobody declares their true worth. So naturally I had to undervalue myself too.

Still, I could've declared nothing. But I chose to declare something.

I think I deserve a light pat on the back.
