Magsasaka

Children are genetically and circumstantially predisposed to emulate their parents - kaya ang mga anak ng artista ay madalas nagiging artista, anak ng doctor ay madalas na nagiging doctor at syempre huwag natin kalimutan ang mga pamilya ng mga pulitiko.

But what happens to underdeveloped areas where farmers & fisherfolks are traditionally used to the daily grind of putting food on the table & view education as a waste of time? Would their children still follow their lead? The answer is actually Yes & they get left behind by the times. Sadly, the support system is just weak for this sector. 

- How are we going to mitigate the costs of sending a child to school especially if fare alone is much more than what the parents earn... Anong paraan para hindi na kailangan lumayo?

- How are we making sure that students appreciate the value of learning if the quality of education is almost zero... Paano masisiguro na may kakayahan ang mga guro na magturo, mag-motivate at mapaintindi sa mga estudyante kung para saan ba ang inaaral nila.

- How are we going to save those who skipped school for years and have them return to school... Meron namang ALS pero meron bang gumagawa ng hakbang para mas dumami ang mga magbabalik sa pag-aaral?

While it is true that even without a diploma, there are skilled & successful people out there. Unfortunately, the sad truth is that they are a minority because opportunities are really scarce.

Napakahalaga ng mga taong nagtatrabaho sa agrikultura pero sa dulo ng lahat, sila ang unang napapabayaan at ang mga laging nasa aircon pa ang mas nakakariwasa.

Kaya simula mamaya ako ay magpapalit na ng kabuhayan at magiging karpintero na. Makabili na nga ng lagare at martilyo. 

Pero ang totoo ay malamang may reklamo pa ako kahit taga-abot lang naman ako ng pako at kahoy.
