Lahat yata ng news staff ng ABS CBN ay nasa field para magbigay ng update sa bagyong Paeng. Aabangan din natin ang pagdistribute nila ng mga pagkain at de lata sa mga nasalanta. Kahit wala nga silang prankisa subsub sila sa trabaho at pagtulong.

Kabaliktaran naman ang nangyari sa Malacanang at mga politikong bumoto sa hindi pagbigay ng prankisa dito.. Congrats sa 31M unity team. Solido ang pagiging united nyo. Hindi kayo lahat makita.

Mensahe namin baka magkaroon din ng Unity of calamities, at may hihintayin pa tayong mga bagyo sa susunod na anim na taon.

Sa kasagsagan ng Typhoon Paeng, ... may mga tao na ang sarap ng tulog ... at nangongolumbot pa... kasi umuulan.

Samantala tayo hindi makatulog, dahil sa hagupit ng hangin at nagpatintero ang mga lumilipad na bubong.

I was asking my friend about his opinion of Supertyphoon Paeng and riding on the popularity of Sandro's meme, this is what he said:

Flood is strong not because flood is strong. Flood is strong because the leader is WEAK.

Short Circuit

Parents are the ultimate role models.

Your children need your "PRESENCE" more than your "PRESENTS".

Values Are Caught ... And Taught

How the child was brought up and raised is the sum total of what he observed and see in his parents. And whatever values he had was influenced by them and will be "carried over" when he becomes an adult.

Children can't just show he is responsible or kind without having seen those act of kindness from their parents or someone else. They may have understood important concepts like working hard or saving for a rainy day or giving importance to finishing college and obeying rules ... without someone setting the example. Parents become a model-of-sort in their child's life, they must have done a lot of teaching and explaining and the child imbibes these values until they become the child's moral framework and architecture.

Parenting

Values are things we prefer or give importance to.  Honesty is a value and so is teaching an impressionable mind (of the children) the worth and importance of honoring dead loved ones.

The values are "CAUGHT" and not "TAUGHT". Meaning the value of remembering our grandparents on All Saint's Day is better learned by the examples set by parents by watching them live out on November 1st and not by doing lectures.

Values are part of the child's life experience. If parents attempt to lecture why we need to go to the cemetery to honor our loved ones ... well, they are good values all right ... but not totally the children.
