HOW GOD MADE THE PHILIPPINES!

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing
for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the
seventh day. He inquired of God, 'Where have you been?' God sighed a deep sigh
of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, 'Look,Michael.
Look what I've made.'

Archangel Michael looked
puzzled and said, 'What is it?' 'It's a planet,' replied God, 'and I've put Life
on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of
balance.'

'Balance?' inquired Michael, still
confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. 'For example,
Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, but cold and
harsh while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant.' 'I have
made some lands Abundant in water and other lands parched deserts.' 'This one
will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in
ice.'

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a
group of Islands and said, 'What are those?'

'Ah,' said God. 'That's the Philippines, the most glorious place on earth. There are
beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and forests. The people from the
Philippines are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and
they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely sociable,
hardworking and high achieving and they will be known throughout the world as
carriers of peace and love.'

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed,
'What about balance, God? You said there would be
balance.'

God replied wisely,'Wait until you see the idiots I
designated as their leaders.'
