POVERTY

HELLO FOLKS. Today is October 30, 2006 !haaay! kapooy! I've just enrolled myself for this second semester... huhuhu! di nako muskwela kappooooy! hehe..net2x sa ko la lingaw... ugma nako magbayad kay daghan pa tao.. ay... wa pa diay pangbayad!tsktsktsk...


Anyway, for my first post I just wanna share you this.

I was going home from my enrollment today, when 4 boys about the age of 10-11, jumped to the jeepney from nowhere. I noticed that they were selling peanuts, wearing dirty old rugged clothes and no footwears of any kind.

They were talking about something they stole, a cigarette lighter, and then suddenly, shifted, teasing, about their “manoys”. Okay, okay, reproductive organ, their penises.


“si jose, sa sobrang liit ng titi, daliri na niya yung jinajakol niya” “kinakantot nga niya yung pusa nila” “parang kasing liit ng titi ng baby yung titi ni RJ” (mas bastos ibisaya)

Yeah, they seem very offensive to be posted, but I wanted to give an insight to this behavior. As a student, I am crushed with this personality behavior. Clearly, from their physical look and actions, they are poor. Social status, here, plays an important factor in developing the young.

Dr. Jose P. Rizal stated, “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan” . Of course, this is so used qoutation. But still, true to its meaning. These young people are poor from inside. They are corrupted. Mostly would say, corrupted mind. But, I believe that theyre minds are not corrupted, its their personality.

From our sociology class, if I’m mistaken, it is the society that dictates what the young would be. If the child grew in a good environment, then the child would be well-educated and well-groomed, and vice-versa. If the society dictates, then the products (kids) follows the society. It will be also true, that the products of the society will continue what they have learned from their own society, and transfer to the next generation. The process would then repeat, and then repeat, until it is broken by a social change. The social change here, refers to the corruption itself.

Indeed, corruption of the young is corruption in its fullest form.

Thus, even how stressful and tiresome schooling is I still go because I don't wanna be like them and my sons and daughters in the future.
