As lockdown and quarantine are still prevailing in some parts of the country, it really had a huge impact on many Filipino families. Many of our fellowmen can't able to go to work or make a living as they are prohibited to go outside of their house unless they have an important business outside.
Even though the government was giving some cash assistance to the Filipinos, some still not getting help and it is also not enough.
There are also some families who are only renting a house, but because of the quarantine, they can't able to pay their rent which causes their landlord to cast them away. Even President Rodrigo Duterte already made an order to all the landlord not to oust their tenants who can't pay their rent, there are still some who didn't follow the order.
Many netizens got broken-hearted upon seeing the poor condition of a mother and her children from San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. According to the Facebook page 'Balitang SJDM', the mother and her child cast away by their landlord, and they only live in the street for a few weeks now. Because the mother can't able to work now, she and her two children only dependent on cash assistance that was given to them by the people. There are times that they are asking for alms to the people.
What's worse is that the woman even separated from her husband that's why she is the only one who is taking care of her children. The mother then also pleading to the people to help them, especially that they are living in the street now in the middle of the C0VID-19 pand3mic. She is also worried about her two children who might get sick because of staying outside.
Balitang SJDM said,
“Isang mag-iina na pinalayas diumano sa tinitirhan, sa kalsada ng Igay Road Barangay Sto Cristo na lamang namamalagi. Pahayag ng netizen na nagbahagi ng kuwento ng mag-iina ay ilang linggo na raw sa kalsada namamalagi ang mag-iina upang manghingi ng pagkain sa mga dumaraan.”
The post quickly went viral online and received different reactions from the netizens. Some of them expressed their rage over the person who cast the mother and two children away. Some of them also wishing that the local government units (LGUs) in San Jose del Monte will notice the condition of the mother and the kids.
