when i heard the news about the suicide of a 12 year-old mariannet amper in davao city, my initial reaction was "shet!ito ang virgin suicide." grabe lang!to go suicidal because of raging teenage hormones is one thing, but killing ones' self out of sheer desperation is another. at sa puntong ito, bata ang nagpakamatay, hindi ama ng tahanan na nawalan ng trabaho o isang ina na walang maipakain sa kanyang mga anak. this kid should be thinking of socks to wear for school the following day or what hair clip to use for her friend's party. instead, she was consummed by the bleak future waiting for her and her family.
i was appalled by the reaction of the government to amper's death. nabasa ko kahapon sa inquirer, when one of the entourage of the president in an anti-poverty conference or something was ask for a reaction on this case, ang sagot ba naman ay ang suicide umano ay isang "isolated case". amputang inang!isolated case?!ilan pa ba ang dapat magpakamatay para masabi nila na laganap na talaga ang problema ng kahirapan sa bansa? ilan pa ba ang dapat sumulat sa wish ko lang para sa kakarampot na pagsilip sa pag-asa? gosh!the nerves! and then this morning mababasa ko na lang GMA laments over amper's death and her administration is going to launch counter-poverty/anti-poverty drive!talk about being thick-faced! ang tagal ng isyu ng kahirapan at matagal na ding sinasabi ni madam na lahat ay ginagawa ng kanyang administrasyon para lang masugpo ito. the amper family and millions of other filipinos who go to sleep hungry and are below poverty line do not need any of your "consoling words", madam. as a matter of fact, the filipino nation does not need those words (or excuses)at all! we want action, quick and apparent!
idagdag pa dito, nakakapanlumong isipin na ang mga kupal na pulitiko ay nagsisipagtanggap ng kaperahan mula sa mga nagtuturuang tinamaan ng magaling na kahit saang angulo natin tingnan ay bahagi pa rin ng kasalukuyang administrasyon samantalang may mga taong katulad ni mariannet at ng pamilya nya ang wala kahit isang kusing para ipantustos sa pang araw-araw nilang buhay. kapal nyo din eh no! amp%$#^! mag harakiri na lang kayo!pahiramin ko pa kayo ng tanto!ako pa magiging kaishakunin nyo!libre pa!
