On my way to work a couple of weeks ago, i sat beside an old woman on a jeepney (route: Muntinlupa to Alabang). I was wondering why she has extra big tummy. And i mean big! I observed other passengers giving her extra attention and realized that this woman might be pregnant. She is alone without anyone and anything except P50. I did not join their conversation as I wasn’t sure if she really is pregnant until she said, “Magtataxi na ako. Kasya na siguro ang P50. Hindi ko na kaya” Out of pity, one passenger handed her some coins to add for her taxi fare. Then, this woman got off the jeep. I felt sorry for her. Giving birth is one great experience of a mom and she won’t even share this joy with anybody. Where is her husband? Who will take care of her? Will anybody pay attention to this poor mother in the hospital? My heart is crying inside. If i wasn’t late for work i would have escorted her to the hospital.
And then...........
The moment she got off, another woman exclaimed. “Raket lang yon! Eh nakasabay ko na yon sa jeep dati eh. Di lang kita mapigilan (pointing to the one who gave her extra coins) kasi awang awa kayo. Nakasabay na rin yan ng kaibigan ko e!”
Lenchak!! Nautakan kami non ah.. Naawa pa naman ako *toink* Everyone was dismayed... Hay life..
So mga people beware of all this raket...
