Another wake up call to our Filipino people…?

There is  a lot of time I’m asking why  Filipino are like that…

“like what?…..” Filipino are …..?????????

Yes.. I cant say…. “why” because I am also Filipina but still in the thinking stage why some Filipinos  love the show wowowee, and for sure not only here in the Philippines, some of our Filipino people are in other country…they are  called TFC subscriber.. they’re  subscribe in a channel that they can watch the Television programs  here in the Philippines ,while they are out of the country and far from their families….

I experience watching this show wowowee on TV… its nice and sounds real…. Real as some of the contestant   tell their stories how life is difficult …  “again  sounds so much Drama diba?” but that’s Filipino, its so hard for most of them to get apart from  their Family some of them are also Filipino workers in other counties….  As a Filipino, and like everybody else suffer of being lonely, alone and nobody to tell or  can voice out their problems, being home sick, and  the feelings how that its hard to get apart from your love one.

Thought watching this program they can see some Filipinos life and they can relate and see their self and similarities of life experience… … plus a change that they can see their relatives on TV performing witch not unusual to them, and show their talents.. and some of them they can really perform as they are not performer or its not their job in real life….. plus when the contestant speaking their dialect from witch province they from…. Its really sounds real and not descript but real person real life…   then trough this showing this talents on one of the games in this wowowee called  “ welie of fortune “  its bring them to smile and happiness same as  for the audience too..and for those families aboard its gives them  encouragement to work hard abroad and stay still strong and not being lonely or home sick…

This wowowee afternoon program on Filipino channel is now the daily rotten and part of everyday living…. And even its has the record of having 71 people died and 800 were hurt and injured  according to the news report I’ve watch  and article I’ve read in other website,about the  celebration of Wowowee’s first anniversary  instead of happiness  they speck it became a traumatic tragedy for the family of those who died and got hurt on the stampede out side the ultra the place where they will  celebrates their first anniversary….

I also watch  sometimes this  afternoon show,….But today, my attention was caught by Wowowee after  I watch again the news about  this tragedy  its  long time ago. But its still give pain and disappointment and ask my self  ” why its happen”  I think its happen last  February 4 2006….. It just saddens me that the lack of discipline among some Filipinos could be the reason of other peoples death and  besides the fact that they could already see the people getting hurt and worst, grasping for breath, they are still pushing each other just to make it inside just to enter and be a contestant in this show.. its sad…. And ….

That  is way  more disgusting, and  because of puberty  I can’t think of any other word to describe  this,it many Filipinos try their luck and hope that they can get money or prizes from this show… We could not blame the people who went there in the first anniversary  of wowowee in the hope of winning cash prizes even dough some of them went there just to have fun… but this all torn in to opposite happened.  This should be a wake up call not only for the government, but also to every Filipino, that we should do something to stop poverty and learn the meaning of word  “discipline”. But I know I cant blame anybody as I also can’t do anything to help and improve my self in the way I want for my self…  on other hand  and  after that tragedy  couple of years  ago its still not close case or unfinished case… .

But ,at the present, this show   wowowee make  some people  happy and give  good prizes from the games in this show. This tragic event  was the pass and I wish not to happen again in any event or programs for the futures… this shows wowowwee  would be the show of Filipino showing that filipino are strong and can fight for every tragedy comes in their lifes…. And even its really ,indeed many poor Filipino families here in this country.

We better think and do something for our self “ Or we could help in our own little way “ AND  we give our hearty , heavenly wish and  pray  for those who died and get hurt and for their families as well.

We make a new good way… and  we make many  reasons  why to be proud as a Filipino…..

Be strong and smart  with a  word “discipline” in our heart and daily life as a  Filipino…

It’s around 10am… I slowly get ready to prepare for food for lunch…

I make easy sandwich   for my boss snack … and I start cooking rice and easy Filipino style viand like fried fish and some boiled vegetable ready to deep in to the soy sauce….

When time comes that everything is cooked and tools for lunch are pack and its ready to bring to the school..Because I want that me and my daughter will eat together for lunch….

My daughter will be out for lunch at 12 noon.. Its around 11:45am I get to school and prepared the table for us.. I also ready the drinks she likes for our lunch… and some ready to bring snack for her healthy break at 3pm…

In the canteen… parents and some Yaya’s or helper around…. It’s so noisy there and busy…

My eyes and ears are also busy observing them…. Some are talking about their boss, text mate, broken road, traffic, expenses, dates, everything….

Its so much for me to hear… and I cant focus in what story of each of them I could stop and just listen…  so then I go to the side and set while take caring of the food I ready for my daughter and me. And at the same time continue listing to them….

Yaya said: my god my bosses are  hard to me and they are so hard   to understand, even small mistake they just get mad at me and no cares if we’re in the public. My ma’am shout at me..And putting her finger on my face… while telling my mistake.. It’s so embarrassing ….

The other parents also talking and one of them is complaining about her maid…

Boss said: hey friend I’m really not happy with my new helper now she is so stupid and no common sense… I ask her to buy some meat in the public market coz we run out of it… then its toke so much time just to get ready ,she take shower, wearing her white long pans and her new sandal… I ask her hey you know where you’re going? “Yes ma’am” , so why your  out fit is like that? Its so dirty and wet there in the market  and I want that you don’t take so much time just to buy some meat for  today’s lunch….  “yes ma’am”

Boss said: then my maid  got home around 12noon…  my god she have to cook and ready the food before lunch but then, its so late now because of so much preparing her self and being over dress… she  is not going in to party, she just have to buy something in the wet market..….

All of those are very simple, but its wasting time… listening to those complain… complain both side…  that’s what happen in the school canteen while waiting to there students to come out… then, they wonder why there is no good educations can school can teach there son and daughter…. ?

Its because they just let the time passing and wasting it while making so much chika chika…. Instead of searching..  the notes of there kids and have a look what the kids doing in school… talking to there kids heart  to heart , explaining  giving some examples just to vision what you want you meant to say  and make them understand how educations is very important… being a rule model to there kids and  let them understand there lessons.  And to let them understand not all lesson are by the book… they have also to learn by experience in life by being open eyes and aware not to happen to them those thing they know it will not help for there own and for there future…

Life is easy, beautiful, wonderful and full of energy… Seems, everything is fine and everything is simple… that’s the situations I saw when I pass in the small community..You will see in there appearance, face and how they’re look, that these kids are happy…

The kids thinking…. Everything is no big deal…. Specially  if there  both parents are professional , have a good sources of income that they can give everything for their kids…  food,  clothes, good educations, enough time, family bonding, and sharing their thought…. Then I could consider it a really nice life…
In other part of the place within slum area … there also stories of some families, which are living in poor places….

Life is also easy for them, having rice and soy sauce on their plate, some beer while relaxing, watching TV, singing in the videoke, sitting on the street and having so much chika chika to their neighbor is their easy life… and at the end this family just show to there children how life is easy, no dreams, no obligations, no plants in life…. Each time of the day they are happy, being like this…

Its seems like even one of the member of this family have a  dreams and plan for their life nothing will work out as he/she  is alone for this dream he/she want for the future ….. How sad that life could be….? Then you will see the result, when He/she had a own kids but he/she cant give good future for them…… because  not everybody are gifted and lucky to have a family that can give more support financial , emotional , good educations, Love and respect from each of every one of the family…. How so sad to think that, why there is a kids hopping to have a real good life and happy family…. But there is no change…… it’s just because, since birth he/she is in this life and situations? …

This is  the life  everybody  don’t want to happen for  their own  kids… as long as we can do more just to hang  on and fight  for  leaving…. And be alive….
But what everybody should do if, they born in this kind of life and this broken family…?
And as a being a kid on that time they can’t decide for there parents life?…
As also they don’t know what life they could have in the future….
As they just don’t have good education… the main reason that it’s hard to find a better job with a good source of  income….

That they are in the place where you can’t think properly … and asking why I have this kind of life… and….

What life I can give to my kids?….

My daughter is so exited to her back to school and its her first day… as a kid she is happy that she have will meet again her old classmates and new friends as well….. We woke up very early, as we know the roads are broken and many under constructions… and that the main reason also that the start of this years class  is delayed and the vacations for students are extended.

Not only that is the problem, also the tricycle driver’s here in Dumaguete are taking advantage of these situations…

As the road is broken some of this tricycle driver’s ask for more rates of fare.., complaining, and just leave with out saying anything, and some of those are just run away… as long as they don’t like the price you offer for them ….

It’s sad … but it’s happening right now in the city of gentle people…

My daughter   is sad, that maybe she get late in her school… and being exited to this first day of school her excitement turn out to become sadness, disappointment,  and then she cries….

I talk to my daughter and explain, that not all tricycle driver are like that and some of those are honest even we experience to be being ignored of this crazy driver’s and to be not lucky to catch a honest, responsible driver and most of all a friendly and gentle man.. as we are in a city of gentle people… or maybe not …

It’s been long time that I logged on to make the continuation of my report of my visit in Tacloban. Its just make me feel bad because its make me more thinking of my son.

it seems like my son is just here with me, because when I was  passing at the public market, the young boy  vendor  want to sell some rags  and native fan ,he’s eye are showing  of  bagging  and so emotionally.

The young vendor is about in my son’s age, I don’t want to buy  any of  the sale item he have ,but  I  also ask how much per small round rag he have and also big rags, as a start of our conversation. We had small talk, I ask him if he sold  out more of this rags ,  how long he is on the street selling  those things and some personal questions…All  of  my questions he answered.

When I get home , while I’m  arranging  all of my plastic bags from shopping ,suddenly  the rag vendor boy came to my mind, his answer and stories about why he do the summer job. Instead of having summer class or enjoy his summer vacations from the school..

It made me thinking more about my son, because the rag vendor helps  his Family  for there every day  living ..  They are five kids in the family, he is the second.

He is already 2 years late in  his studies, instead of grade 5 this coming school year he just in grade 3 if  possible that he has a chance to go to school…

All the stories he had as a little kid helping their parents, I also experience that as older sister in the Family, I grow up as helper of my grandmother for everything.  She build me into a hard working  kid, she  teach me how to take care of the house  and selling food on the street, also to take care of our small fast   food in our barangay, in Tacloban. We sale   barbecue in the public market each night  and sometime I cant go to school because I’m so tired and don’t have enough sleep, a reason why my grades are not that good.

Same as the little boy vendor, when I’m in his age too I don’t have enough time to play, enjoy being  a kid.  I consider  that this boy is luckier because at least he is with his parents and the whole family is just there…  this boy  make’s  me feel  lonely that at the moment  I’m so far to my son, that I cant see how he is,  and help him for what he needs..  My son is the reason why I visit in Tacloban.

I know there is not so much about my trip to Tacloban, just some thoughts crossed my mind while sitting here. I promise that the other parts Tripreport to Tacloban and Manila will continue… some when soon

We leave Dumaguete at 12 midnight March Friday the 13th, my daughter is so excited to see her brother in Tacloban,,, our plan is to surprise him  that we are there on his birthday March 17..

we arrived at Cebu 7am March 14th and we  move to another boat going to Ormoc, its 2 hours travel, then Ormoc to Tacloban 1 hour in the bus…

I’m not very much excited that I’m already in my home town where i grow up…even i have change to meet my school mates my old friends, my cousins, aunties and more relatives,… because i know they just expect a lot of pasalubong or help i can give to them, its nothing bad at all.., to be honest i love to help and to have anything for them to help and to share  some of my blessings.. but i don’t have something to give for them,for sure if i have, there is no problem to share… but then i just have my budget and plans for something good for my son, the only reason why me and my daughter are visiting Tacloban City.…  When we’re already at the barangay Anibong the place where i grow up, i can’t stop my self not to cry.. a silent cry but its so deep to my heart and my mind.,and its bring some of my memories how i grow up and learn  how to fight for life .. Actually my grandma took care of me and 3 more younger brothers of mine,..since I’m in 4th grade school,   up to 2nd year high school, I’m with my grandma, (mother side…) I don’t grow up with my own  Family,, its already broken family since i born… my brothers are all half brother only (mother side)…  its make me more sad when i saw the old house of my grandma,its really broken no walls, no roof and no floor…. the only thing was left there are mess and old clothes that nobody can used..

I stay with my uncle, older brother of my dad, i stay there for 4 days….

i don’t waste any single days of my visit to my son in Tacloban that i don’t play and  go out somewhere that i can make my kids happy.. I bring them to Family park, Tower park,Santo Niño church..and to new Gaisano Central a shopping mall in Tacloban.i bought so much present for him.. toys and the most important is his school supplies…  i miss my son so much… I’ve missed a lot of days with out him….  how i wish i can go swimming with him like my daughter and me doing each summer…  i wish that he understand why i have to leave him in Tacloban together with his grandma and not with me  each  time he needs me… to guide him, to teach him if he has home work, play with.. and sleep with… that he feels how much i love him… i just hug my daughter double tight coz of missing him, my son…. I feel and see my daughter miss him too…
