Its Unfair
I went to NBI office (NBI- National Bureau of Investigation, similar to FBI in United States) to get my clearance.
This clearance are one of the requirements needed for us in our country, before you get employed or before getting a passport,a piece of paper that proves that you didn't commit any crime or any pending violation record regarding to our law. Incase you have the same name with a person who is wanted by the law etc., You will have to wait until 2 weeks before having this clearance.
The place was full of applicants, some of us even waited outside in the office, inside the building was full of people , the place couldn't handle such a large amount of people inside the office, so other currently came applicants must be patient waiting outside the office , falling in line while waiting for our turn to give our fingerprints,to be pictured ,and wait again to be called our name before having this clearance paper.
The line moved like a snail ,I'm now inside after waiting outside the office for an hour at last, their were about 10 people on the line before me . Now I can see what was happening inside the office.
It's the woman turns now, she was beautiful , hot and well dressed. she was facing to an officer on the glass window ,behind the glass window was the officer which his job is to encode the information we had filled up,take photos, get our fingerprints.
I saw a guy beside her, talking with her,he was like between 40 to 45 of age. I inferred that this guy was one of the employees in this office, he seems confident talking with this woman, while this woman was correcting any mistakes inputted by the officer over the glass window to the computer before proceeding to save it. They were talking and they were like comfortable and happy .After the woman was pictured,This employee ( the guy )even took the woman hand and assisted her to put her fingers one by one to fingerprint reader, he never stopped holding her fingers until all her fingers were done. I think the woman does not need his help because she seems like she knew what she was doing and she looked like an educated woman, but the woman never resisted him of what he was doing for her.
Now it was finished. The guy/employee went instantly to employees room, we can see those employees/officers behind that room because we were in-front of this room covered of glass window. This Employee went directly to a small room inside of the employees room ,which we cannot see him anymore. After a second he went out, he has a piece of paper at his hand this paper was NBI clearance and he gave this NBI clearance to the woman I said.
In my observation, it is obvious that it is unfair to others, because many of us didn't get that such kind of especial treatment, It is unfair because many applicants are waiting patiently in large amount of time ,waiting for our name to be called by batch of many names.
What I was observed was the officer/employee "helping was not really his intention", the officer gave his help to her because, she was beautiful and looked hot. ( he took advantage by holding her fingers ).
AND IT'S OBVIOUS THAT IN THIS WORLD IF YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL,WELL DRESSED,LOOK SMART. RICH.CHARMING,POPULAR... these qualities have great advantages.
Each of us deserve to be equally treated,
We are all human!

How is it said? Everywhere you can encounter on "bad people" (I don't want to be vulgar ;D) and no everywhere it is like that, but some percents are that when you can assert yourself, it is advantage, sure. And this woman even did it without wanting, so... :)
this is not only happens in philippines it also happens in other country too...some just help you coz of your looks or if your wealthy and can bribe some of them or having a high-profile in the community. sad to say but some people descriminate others too, they give "special treatment" to some, but im not surprised by this as it always happens here in our place jesson so i just hope you're used to it already nah. thats one of the reasons why "IT IS MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!" lolz! so cheer up! :P
This situation prevails everywhere. No society is spared from this evil. I/we face such situation daily, but miraculously, there are nice people too.
I totally agree with you. I have heard the quote that says, everything will come easy, if you're beautiful or rich. I think that's really true after hearing all these stuff
Sorry to hear about that. But as you said, the woman didn't even pretend in need of attention or help. It was the man who 'help' himself and 'assisting' this woman. The man was the one who was being 'blinded'. It's not the woman's fault.
