Naalala ko tuloy nung pumila ako para sa ₱1,500.00 ANNUAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE for senior citizens (as mandated by City Ordinance No. 0954-22). Nasa gym naman ng barangay gi-held, may mga plastic chairs, pero napakainit ng singaw ng araw mula sa bubong ng gym. Makita mo ang mga SCs, ang iba may mga kapansanan na, may tungkod, may partial paralysis in certain parts of their bodies, naka-damit na parang pambahay lang, suot ang pudpod na tsinelas. Tama si nanay dito. Nagtrabaho at nagbayad ka ng buwis ng 40 taon, tapos ito ang SUKLI ng gobyernong binubuhay mo galing sa pawis at dugo mo!
I urge Heads of State and the leaders of nations to listen to the cry of the poorest. There can be no peace without justice. The poor remind us of this in many ways, through migration as well as through their cries, which are often stifled by the myth of well-being and progress, which does not take everyone into account.
