For the Love and Lust of It

Ever since her life as a student, Public Servant PS was already an achiever. Being a diligent student from day one, she strived to capture school awards that she could proudly bring home to her parents. She carried on that self-imposed discipline throughout her educational journey. She was so obsessed with collecting awards that continued to her professional life.

But unbeknownst to most, such passion to excel did not come like a walk in the park and without setback. She obviously worked hard for it and thus cultivated in her the bad habit of taking all the credits for every little honor and award she got without acknowledging the the equally hardworking people and staff who helped her in those accomplishments. PS is often accused of over self-promotion, and at times inventing non-existent titles/honors just to put herself in a pedestal.

PS has many advocacies, most of them geared for the protection of children and women. Yet some people privy to her know how badly she treats her own household staff - such as not providing them with sufficient food, a problem that the helpers have to contend with every single day. PS is forever on a diet, but for her househelp who are always loaded with work, dieting is the last thing on their mind...the last thing they will ever do.

People who know her say that PS, inspite of her public image of compassion doesn't have a heart towards the people closest to her, those who work for her. A very demanding boss, her staff is overworked as she expects from them the same workhours she imposes on herself. Something the staff frowns at and cries foul because unlike her, they don't have their boss' luxurious lifestyle and millions in financial perks.

PS obviously doesn't walk her talk. She's quite popular in public because they don't know any better that amidst the public image of honesty is the absence of transparency. A self-proclaimed middle class raised by daily wage earning parents with no business to speak of, how are the mansions and properties situated in well-entrenched and paved communities be explained?

As some pundits would say -- "Let them turn green with envy."
