Let’s DOH It!

I heard Dr. Juan Flavier saying, “Let’s DOH it” in that popular TV ad when he was still the secretary at the Department of Health.

That particular ad has stuck in my mind until now. Not only was it made funny by Dr. Flavier, its catch phrase was… well… catchy!

It always made me think of the proverbial saying, “Practice what you preach.” Indeed, we should do what we say in order for people to believe in us. In short, if you’ve promised it, then do it. Not practicing what you preach would be like picking up a packet of salt from the grocery shelf, only to find that when you use it in for food, it had been mislabeled—it’s not salt at all but sugar!
