No Respect

Last Friday, our office printer runs out of ink so I went to the mall to buy a new cartridge as soon as the mall opens at 10:00 am.

Upon entering the mall, I heard the Philippine National Anthem being played, I stopped at the side of mall and paid my respect to the National Hymn.

It was just sad to realize that while some people stopped from walking or whatever it was they were doing, many other people continued walking and did not pay respect to the National Anthem. Were they not taught that it was their duty as Filipino citizens to stop, to sing and to pay respect to the National Anthem, every time it was being played?
