Poverty is really a big problem here in the Philippines. You may want to read this very tragic story of a young girl who killed herself because of poverty.
Girl who killed self lamented family’s poverty in diary
So sad, isnt it? The story of the 12-year-old girl (named Mariannet Amper) was featured on GMA's show Wish Ko Lang coz Mariannet intend to send a letter to the said program hoping that her wishes for her family will be come true. And last Saturday, I watched the Wish Ko Lang episode wherein the program did grant all her wishes. But the sad part is that the little girl is no longer here to accept and enjoy the things she asked for in her letter.
After knowing the story of Mariannet, I asked myself why I complain a lot when faced with financial problem when in fact there are people who are into worse situations. And how could this little girl decide to end her life just because of a 100 pesos? Nobody knew what she was thinking at that moment and what pursuade her to do such tragic act.
Whatever we may be experiencing in life, doing such is NOT A SOLUTION. There is always hope... So the question is....
Can you be an instrument of hope for someone who is hopeless?
This question is not only for Philippine Goverment....not only for the Filipinos...but for everyone around the world cause we are all witnesses of poverty.
So, let's take some time to reflect on this.
