Ano Ang Ambag Mo?

04/06/2020 01:59:03 PM

Ika nga ng isang kasabihan, sa panahon ng kagipitan mo malalaman kung sino o sinu-sino ang mga tunay mong kaibigan. At sa konteksto ng mga pangyayari ngayon—dala ng naghahasik ng lagim na kung tawagin ay COVID-19—kung gaano kaseryoso sa pagtulong ang pamahalaan ng lupalop na iyong kinabibilangan, gayun din ang mga kapwa mo mamayan o mga kapitbahay; kung mabuti nga ba silang mamayan na tutulong sa'yo o baka sila'y mga hamak na ungas na hindi ka nga tutulungan, ipapahamak ka pa nila.

Alam ko, lahat ng bagay ay politikal; ngunit ang tanong sa ganitong mga pagkakataon, yan ba ang paiiralin mo, o isasantabi mo para lang pare-pareho tayo makatulong. Gising sa realidad: hindi ka nanonood ng pelikula, pero mayroong mga eksena dun na tila halaw sa mga nasabing kilos at sitwasyon. 

Isa ka nga bang tao na handang tumulong o isa ka lang bwakananginang oportunista?  At maliban sa mga tanong na yan... 

Ano ang ambag mo?
