Utang at piging

Malalim na pagpapahalaga sa pamilya at tradisyon ang nasa likod ng taunang pagdiriwang ng Pasko at Bagong Taon. Ngunit sa kabila ng bawat masaganang selebrasyon, may mga pamilyang nagsusumikap na mairaos ang isang gabi ng kasiyahan at pagbibigayan. Bakit nga ba isinasakripisyo ng mga Pilipino ang pinansiyal at emosyonal na kapakanan kapalit ng isang "perpektong" okasyon?

Same Time, Next Year?

The 24th always starts with footsteps echoing through the living room. Tita Nene steps out of her new van with her second husband—a fat, blue-eyed expat she met “at work.” In one hand, she clutches a Prada purse; in the other, her shiny new iPhone 16. It fits in the purse, but what’s the point of an iPhone if her sisters can’t see it?

Pasko ng pagkilala: Pang-unawa para sa mga nagtitiis na manggagawa

Food delivery riders at mga crew sa kainan—ilan sa mga manggagawang abala sa pagbibigay-serbisyo tuwing Kapaskuhan. Habang ang karamihan ay masaya at abala sa idinaraos na pagdiriwang, sila naman ay nagsasakripisyo upang matustusan ang pangangailangan ng mga pinaglalaanan, dagdagan pa ng kawalan ng respeto at pagkilala ng iilan. Kaya naman sa buwan ng pagbibigayan, mainam lang na makamit nila ang nararapat na paggalang mula sa mga mamamayan.

Paglaho ng kabuhayan sa mga alaalang tinupok ng apoy

Sa tipikal na isang linggo sunod-sunod na sunog ang naranasan ng mga residente ng Maynila nitong mga nakaraang buwan. Sa bawat pagwang-wang ng mga bumbero, ang isa’y mapapaisip kung saang usok ng lungsod ito papunta. Ngunit, ang kaakibat na epekto ng sunog ay patuloy pa ring dumadagdag sa paghihirap at pinagdaraanan ng mga biktima tuwing mayroong ganitong uri ng sakuna.

Pait ng salo-salo sa araw ng Pasko

Kapana-panabik ang Paskong Pilipino dahil sa mga tradisyong hindi nagbabago, tulad ng paghahanda para sa Noche Buena at pagbisita ng mga kamag-anak na matagal na nating hindi nakita. Subalit, kaakibat ng malaking pagtitipon ay ang mga hindi napapanahong tradisyon mula sa ating mga kamag-anak. Nariyan ang kanilang pagbibigay ng mga insensitibo at mapanghimasok na komento tungkol sa iba’t ibang aspekto ng ating buhay.
