If only I could do something about it, If only I could make their lives easier so that they can appreciate living. I guess I could only whisper on my mind and take a deep sigh before I continue to walk.
Knowing that this street children together with their parents are battling a more extreme survival dilemma than other ordinary people. Trying to eat 3 times a day is really a tough challenge for them, especially if the family is composed of more than 3 kids.
What certain actions that the government has done to it's citizens? I don't even see any feeding programs at all. I could not stand witnessing kids eating leftovers early in the morning for breakfast. Some of them would rather sleep since their's no food to suffice their hunger.
While the government is so busy with other issues, unfortunate people are ignored and set aside. They pay their taxes everyday with their hard earned labor work. Yes you heard that right they people pay taxes! even if they are just earning 50-100 pesos a day. The food and other needs they purchase are taxable and that's a main proof that they are paying.
This is a sick reality and quite obvious not to be noticed. A simple logic that Sen: Chiz Escudero said.
"Lahat ng mga nagnakaw ng milyon o bilyon sa pamahalaan nasa ospital, iyong mganagnakaw ng cellphone at wallet, nasa kulungan"
Translation: All those who stole millions or billions from the government are in the hospital, those who stole cellphone and wallet are in jail.
Isn't it ironic right? Did you see the huge gap or difference of justice? I bet it's understandable how things are done at the moment.
