Wanted: Mommy Time

In Photo: Filipino Mothers with their newborn babies | Public Radio International           The weight of motherhood should be greatly recognized by the law. Being a mother is one of the greatest and most fulfilling roles every woman can have. Women do not just aspire to be a good mother, but also to be a successful career woman.   Mothers should be granted ample time to temporarily leave their jobs to give way to the very point of their life: to give birth.        But in a society where women’s role is still perceived as lower than men, where their rights and sufferings are not recognized enough, where there are prejudice and discrimination in the capitalist system of the workplace. Will the light of our home still continue to shine over their loving children? Maternity leave is the period of absence granted to the female employees before and after the birth of their child. This kind of leave is special, for it’s not only a right for women, but also for infants

King of the Road: A Poor Man's Tale

              The streets of Manila were in its most intense heat, the highways were packed with numerous vehicles, each one exhaled fumes of dark smoke. It was orderly chaotic as ever, as our group walked around the jeepney terminal. The weather was too difficult for us, but for some reason, I noticed the jeepney drivers resting in their parked jeepneys for the meantime. Seeing their tired faces, the sweat trickling down their temples and the heavy way they drank their waters, I felt my exhaustion suddenly seem invalid.              As a commuter, I realized, who better to represent resiliency, but our very own jeepney drivers?              In our group’s venturing quest, we stumbled upon Renante, a jeepney driver with a humble smile. The toughness of Manila visible in his tanned face.              Renante is currently 42 years old, with a whole family to support. He has been driving for more than twelve years. As a driver, his everyday life is a struggle. Especially wit

Hustisyang Pilit: Amnestiyang Ginigipit

Image
               Malinaw na paglabag sa konstitusyon at may hangarin na tuluyang patahimikin ang oposisyon ang pagpapawalang-bisa ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa amnestiya ni Senador Antonio Trillanes IV sa pamamagitan ng Proklamasyon bilang 572, sa tulong ng kanyang mga kaalyado. Ngunit sa gitna ng patuloy pang umiinit na usapin, ano nga ba ang puno’t dulo ng lahat ng ito? Ano nga ba ang nag-udyok sa pangulo upang humantong sa ganitong hakbang?                   Kung babalikan, isa si Trillanes sa mga miyembro at tagapanguna ng Samahang Magdalo na nasa likod ng kudeta laban sa administrasyong Arroyo, kabilang rin siya sa lumusob sa Oakwood Premier noong 2003, at sa Manila Peninsula noong 2007 na naging dahilan kung bakit nasampahan ng kasong treason ang senador at mga kasamahan nito.          Ngunit ng maupo  si dating Pangulong Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, nagawaran ng amnestiya noong 2010 sina Trillanes sa pamamagitan ng Proklamasyon bilang 75 na may layuning bigyan sila
