"TAHANANG DE KARITON" - A HOUSE MADE OF IMPROVISED WAGON

I WAS DRAFTING  AN ORDINANCE THAT WILL PENALIZE THE PARENTS OF CHILDREN FOR LEAVING THEM UNATTENDED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN I PASS BY AND SAW A FATHER AND MOTHER WITH THEIR TWO (2) CHILDREN INSIDE AN IMPROVISED WAGON.PARKED AT THE BUSY STREET.


IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE IMPROVISED WAGON IS VERY SPECIAL TO THE FAMILY BECAUSE IT SERVES AS THEIR HOME ASIDE FROM USING IT AS CARRIAGE OF THEIR COMMODITIES; CARTOONS, EMPTY PLASTIC BOTTLES AND WHATEVER SCRAPS THEY CAN SELL TO THE JUNK SHOP.

I APPROACHED THEM AND ASKED THE MOTHER IF I CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF THEM. THE MOTHER WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND I WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO TAKE PICTURES.




THE CHILDREN WERE BOTH SICK MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER (RAINY SEASON) OR BECAUSE OF THEIR LIVING CONDITION. THE BYSTANDERS PROMISED TO GIVE MEDICINES FOR HER CHILDREN.




I TOLD THE MOTHER THAT I WILL FEATURE THEM IN MY BLOG. WITHOUT PROMISING ANYTHING, I SAID, WHO KNOWS ONE DAY MY GENEROUS READERS WILL TRY TO HELP THEM.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING THEM, YOU CAN CONTACT ME OR EMAIL ME AT valsarte04@gmail.com.

Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
