𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗖𝗢𝗠 | Sa gitna ng pasko at kahirapan

Malamig na nga ang simoy ng hangin, at kasabay ng panginginig ng buto dahil sa papalapit na Pasko ay ang panginginig din ng damdamin ng maraming Pilipino sa harap ng mataas na bilihin at mababang kita. Sa panahong dapat sana’y nag-uumapaw ang kasiyahan, ang realidad ng kahirapan ay lalong nagiging matingkad para sa mga simpleng manggagawa tulad ni Tatay Into.

𝗦𝗶𝗸𝗹𝗼 𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻

Sa isang maliit na palengke sa munisipyo ng Talavera, Nueva Ecija, matatagpuan si Tatay Jacinto Peña, o mas kilala bilang Tatay Into. Sa edad na 68, kasama ang kanyang 65-anyos na asawa, patuloy nilang hinaharap ang hamon ng pang-araw-araw na buhay bilang market vendors. Sa kanilang maliit na puwesto na inuupahan, umaasa si Tatay Into na mabuo niya ang pambayad sa inaasahan niyang 60,000 piso na utang ngayong taon; isinasalaysay din ni Tatay Into ang kanilang paglalakbay sa isang tila walang katapusang siklo ng kahirapan.

“Dati kina-cash ko yung isang taon na renta, pero ngayon hindi ko na kaya. Walang kita. Kung ano na lang ang kaya naming tinda, yun na lang, kasi kung mangungutang pa kami at hindi maibebenta, mas lalo lang kaming malulubog sa utang,” ani Tatay Into.

Sa loob ng 24 na taong paglalako, nasaksihan na nila ang tagumpay at pagkalugmok. May mga panahong masagana ang benta, ngunit mas madalas, sapat o kulang pa ang kinikita para sa pang-araw-araw na gastusin. Ayon kay Michael Ricafort, Chief Economist ng RCBC, ang pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin ay isa sa mga pangunahing dahilan kung bakit marami ang napipilitang mangutang, lalo na ang mga tulad nina Tatay Into na umaasa lamang sa maliit na kita.

𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘀 𝗻𝗮 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗮

Kumikita lamang si Tatay Into ng halos 430 piso kada araw – mas mababa pa sa minimum wage na itinakda para sa rehiyon, na nasa pagitan ng 435 hanggang 550 piso. “Hindi namin naaabot yung minimum wage. Minsan nga, naiiyak kami ng asawa ko. Tingnan mo yung tindahan namin, walang katao-tao. Paano ka kikita ng malaki?” dagdag niya.

Sa kabila ng kanilang tiyaga, ramdam nila ang hirap ng kakulangan sa puhunan. “Wala na akong tindang canton. Dati, bago mag-Pasko, punung-puno ng paninda ang tindahan namin. Pero ngayon, nung dumating ang ahente ng canton, hindi ako nakabili. Isang libo lang ang pera ko, paano ako bibili ng sapat?” kwento ni Tatay Into.

Ang mataas na puhunan sa paninda at ang pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin ay nagpapahirap sa mga tulad ni Tatay Into na makabawi sa kanilang puhunan. Kailangan nilang ibenta ang paninda sa presyong kikita sila, ngunit madalas, ito rin ang inaarayan ng mga mamimili na hirap din sa buhay.

Ayon sa pinakahuling datos ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), ang taunang inflation rate sa Pilipinas ay tumaas sa 2.5% noong Nobyembre 2024 mula sa 2.3% noong Oktubre. Ang pagtaas na ito ay pangunahing dulot ng mga bagyong nakaapekto sa suplay ng pagkain, na nagdulot ng pagtaas sa presyo ng mga bilihin. Ang mataas na presyo ng pagkain at iba pang pangunahing bilihin ay lalong nagpapahirap sa mga tulad ni Tatay Into na umaasa sa kakarampot na kita mula sa araw-araw na pagtitinda.

𝗣𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗼 𝘀𝗮 𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗮 𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻

Sa kabila ng lahat, patuloy na nagpapasalamat si Tatay Into na kahit paano ay may maliit silang tindahan. Sa darating na Pasko, ang simpleng spaghetti at pancit canton ay sapat na sa kanila. “Okay na yun, kasi sa buhay ngayon, lalo na sa hirap ng panahon, napakahirap talaga,” sabi niya.

Ang Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) ay nag-ulat na mayroong 17.54 milyong Pilipino ang nabubuhay sa ilalim ng linya ng kahirapan, na mas mababa ng 2.4 milyon kumpara sa nakaraang survey dalawang taon na ang nakalipas. Ayon sa PSA, ang mga indibidwal ay itinuturing na "mahirap" kung ang kanilang kita ay hindi sapat upang matugunan ang mga pangunahing pangangailangan sa pagkain at di-pagkain.

Ang kwento ni Tatay Into ay salamin ng realidad ng maraming Pilipino. Habang ang ilan ay nagdiriwang ng kasaganahan tuwing Pasko, ang iba naman ay patuloy na nagsusumikap upang maitawid ang araw-araw. Sa kabila ng lahat ng pagsubok, nananatili ang kanilang pag-asa – isang mahalagang paalala na ang diwa ng Pasko ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa dami ng handa kundi sa tibay ng kalooban at pagmamahalan sa pamilya. ____________________________________________

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗜 | Malayo naman sa Bituka

Sabi nila may mga sugat naman na hindi ikamamatay, katulad ng kasabihan ng nakararami, '𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘰 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘬𝘢'.

Hindi ko naman ikamamatay ang sakit ng likod dahil malayo naman sa bituka. Pero itong likod na ito ang nagbubuhat at nagpapasan ng lahat bigat sa araw-araw na aking dinadala.

Hindi ko naman ikamamatay ang sakit ng paa dahil malayo naman sa bituka. Pero itong mga paa na ito ang lumalakbay sa mahabang daan na aking kailangan tawirin sa araw-araw. Pero sila rin ang nagdadala sa direksiyon na aking tatahahakin kung saan labag naman sa aking damdamin.

Sabi sa kantang 𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙯 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙇𝙚𝙛𝙩 𝙁𝙚𝙚𝙩 ng 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜,
"𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘬𝘰 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘺,
𝘒𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘬𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘺."
Hindi naman siguro katapusan ng mundo kung isasantabi muna ang gusto.

Malayo sa bituka pero nag iiwan ng marka at pilat na nakaukit na tila ba hindi lang sa likod at paa nagmamarka. Hindi ko naman siguro ikamamatay kung hindi ko hawak ang kamay na tila matagal ko ng inaabot dahil malayo naman sa bituka. Hindi naman mali na isantabi muna ang sarili para sa piliin ang ikabubuti ng nakararami.

Pero may mga oras kung saan tahimik ang gabi at ang tanging nasa isip, “Ano kaya ang mangyayari kung sa oras ngayon, pipiliin naman ang sarili? Kaya sa direksiyon na aking hindi nagawang tahakin, sana pag handa na ang paa na muling humakbang at ang likod ay wala ng mabigat na pasan ay pwede pang abutin ang kamay na matagal ng gustong hawakan. Ang pangarap ng isang paslit na nais makamit.
