A UP Law student, Christopher Lao, is the guy who drove his car through the flood in Quezon City which happens to be waist deep. This was captured in the news of GMA7 on Tuesday. While I was reading I thought, what the heck was he thinking?. Then on an interview, he relentlessly blamed other people (the MMDA, people in the street, even the news crew) after what he did as if it's their fault and reasoned that he was not informed. I hope he was not expecting that there should there be signs like this?
Sorry for the pun, but it was totally silly if that was the way he reacted after what he did. If only he had have just admitted his mistake and moved on then there wouldn't be any commotion in the internet. The news clip apparently has become a viral topic in blogs and social networks. Note that he was trending more than Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri's resignation.
After reading another post and hear about this incident from other people, it made me pity this guy that this issue became a craze. I guess the news organization picked this man's mishap for entertainment purposes, but do you think it is right that they broadcasted his real name and showed his face? They should have at least done something to save this man from humiliation.
