So - who is Phil?
This little bee is Phil, but Phil is not JUST this giving Bee. Phil is u. Phil is me. Phil is anybody and everybody that contributes to the community. Phil is someone who realizes that by Phil 'ing a wallet, uPhil a heart. Phil is a Phil 'osophy – one that states “anybody can be a Phil 'anthropist if uPhil a wallet daily!”
Phil is truly selfless. He works endlessly to provide honey for his hive. Phil’s honey is enough for all of us to get and give our Phil and still have some left for himself. Phil gives everything he has for his hive - he will gladly give his life for his community.
BUT - Phil is NOT always a nice guy. When Phil sees people drive away from a parking space or Phil 'ling station without Phil 'ling a wallet, Phil gets very angry and then he’s just plain aw' Phil to be around.
Nobody should be like Phil - everybody IS Phil. Be a Phil ’ippen lekker guy and Phil 'em - they deserve it!
