Face Reality

Sa mundo ng walang katiyakan at puro SEGURO ... dito ako SIGURADO!

Parents left their children at home ... with good intentions - to help the family financially ... and to cope up with the demands of sending their children to school.  Hindi para magpakasarap sa America.

Ngayon kung hindi maintiendihan ng mga anak yan ... the parent doesn't need to keep repeating explaining themselves!

The Irony of Life

I was watching Tawag Ng Tanghalan quarterfinals and I was floored by the honest confession made by Kelvin Silvestre from San Ildefonso Bulacan.

The irony of life was there when he said this: "I am working in a real estate company ... and ironically kaming pamilya wala pang sariling bahay ..."

Just like my friend in America, a nurse by profession who said this:  "I am taking care of children of strangers (she worked in a Pediatric ward) of people I don't even know. The irony was I am stuck in this business of caring ... and the price I have to pay? I left my children under the care of my Mom."

That May Seem That Way

I don't want to be negative, but I saw no point in OFW being jubilant especially now that the dollar is equivalent to P59. Those earning dollars may think that their salaries are now worth more in Philippine pesos.

That may seem that way, but the OFW's families are OFFSET and UPSET by the rising prices of basic goods ... especially food and transport. Whatever increase in the value of the OFW's dollar remittances ... the family realizes it loses its monetary worth because of the skyrocketing price of commodities and services.
