Reality Bites

There is a growing resentment amongst millennials and OFWs questioning the validity of this tired old and toxic Filipino culture: Is it the child's responsibility to send money to their parents as payment for being brought up?

I believe their resentment is justified. I know where they are coming from ... especially if they have a family to feed now.

Turning the tables upside down, I just hope the same kind of resentment will rise if you have a brother or sister or a friend who is able and strong, but still lives with Mama or Papa and still depends on them for their daily and personal needs. This needs to stop too.

Fair enough?
