Ikaw ba ay malakas at maganda ngunit matalino pa?

Dear children of God,


Have you not even wondered why people were so disappointed that our lone participant to Sochi Olympics and the first ever to participate in figure skating did not receive ample financial support from the Philippine government? In fact, one meme came out to compare the priorities of government when it comes to support our gifted in sports.

Have you not wondered how aghast most of us when we learned that the reigning Ms International 2013 was given only a mock donation of 20 pesos? See fro yourself the comment thread by clicking the pic below.

I believe that you have heard several accounts of limited financial support by OUR GOVERNMENT to our gifted citizens competing in an international arena. However, when we speak of government, are we not also a part of this so-called government? Are we not a bit and parcel of this so-called government? Rather than point fingers and blame anyone, cannot we get our acts together and do something? One of the ways to have a better government is by voting wisely.


Now for the last question, if you happen to know that a gifted in science will join a competition cannot be given a full support, will it also receive the same level of on-line indignation and more importantly 'support' in whatever form? Take for a case of plead for support below:



Kaya hindi ko maiwasang magtanong kung bakit ganoon na lang nating sumbatan ang gobyerno sa kakulangan nito upang supurtahan ang ating kalahok sa larangan ng PALAKASAN at PAGANDAHAN? Maging ganoon rin ba ang ating magiging damdamin kung ito ay mangyari sa larangan ng PATALINUHAN? Hanggang sa LAKAS at GANDA na lamang ba tayo?

Kaya kung tayo ay hanggang lakas at ganda, itong panawagan ay ipagkibing balikat mo na lamang. Pero kung ikaw ay malakas, maganda at saka MATALINO PA, gagawin mo ang mga sumusunod na mungkahi ko.

1. Dahil mag aaral ka na tumatangagap ng stipend, magsasakrispisyo ka at mag aambag mula sa iyong stipend.

2. Maging mas makabuluhan ang iyong suporta kung handa mong isakripisyo ang perang nakalaan sa mga luho pansamantala upang madagdagan ang pambaon ng kaeskwela. Kung tutuusin, sa bawat pagkakataong ako ay mangibang bansa upang maglahad ng aking pananaliksik, lagi akong nabibigyan ng baon ng inyong mga guro gaano man kakarampot ang sweldo. Kahit sa pagpunta ko dito sa Japan, nagbigay rin sila kahit papaano.

The act of giving is not what you give after what is left but giving something even when you don't have anymore to give. Don't give just because you feel sorry, give because it is the kind thing to do. So are you kind enough?

Labyu,

Aris
