Tahimik na Paumanhin

Pagpapatawad na Hindi Binibigkas

Nangyari ang sitwasyon matapos ang hindi pagkakaunawaan namin ng aking kaibigan na si Rosh. Una na akong humingi ng tawad, ngunit hindi niya ito tinanggap. Sa mga araw na lumipas, ramdam ko ang bigat ng pagitan naming dalawa. Tahimik lamang siya, madalas umiwas ng tingin at hindi makalapit sa akin. Lumapit ako sa kanya. Ako si Cassandra, dahan-dahan kong inilapit ang aking kamay at marahang hinawakan ang balikat ni Rosh. Saglit siyang nanatiling nakatungo. Sa mga mata ko, pinakita ko ang lungkot at taos-pusong pagsisisi. Inyuko ko rin ang aking ulo, tanda ng pagpapakumbaba at pag-ako ng pagkakamali.


Ilang sandali pa, bahagyang gumalaw ang mga mata ni Rosh papunta sa akin. Hindi man siya ngumiti, napansin kong may bahagyang pagbabago sa kanyang kilos. Unti-unti kong inalis ang aking kamay at binigyan siya ng espasyo. Ang simpleng pagkilos na iyon ay nagsilbing tulay upang mabawasan ang lamat sa aming ugnayan.


Sa karanasang ito, napagtanto ko ang halaga ng di-berbal na komunikasyon. Ang simpleng hawak, pagyuko ng ulo, at pagtitig sa mata ay nagsasalita nang higit pa sa mga salitang “patawad.” Minsan, ang katahimikan at kilos ang nagiging tunay na wika ng puso.

Learning Amidst an Ongoing Battle

It is an unseen enemy that presented us not only our vulnerabilities within our healthcare systems and governance, but also the way we handle such situation. It displayed the genuine essence of humanity in most people through cooperation and providing guidance and assitance to people who desperately need it, while others just revealed that they are not what they seemed and claimed to be. It has most taught us that our safety and well-being relies undeniably on our actions.      (REUTERS/Eloisa Lopez).

March: Women's History Month

  https://ovcre.uplb.edu.ph/press/features/item/442-how-women-s-month-came-to-be           Women have suffered oppression and discrimination throughout our history. But they didn’t remain silent, they fought back. They showed the world that they could do things men can do and that they have the right too. This activism led to what they are now.             Women make up one of the few minorities that are numerical majorities. They typically outnumber men when it comes to demographics in most communities. Despite that, the oppression and marginalization of women has taken place in many societies for some time now. This March marks the best time to bring that and related issues to the forefront.             March is Women’s History Month in a lot of countries including the US. In the Philippines, it is often referred to by the government as N...
