Filosofo Tasio Lives
The Christian religion espouses kindness and compassion. That is why there is no shortage of aid and welfare program on food, shelter, housing and education. This is quite admireable. But if DSWD discourages begging by street children, then the same must be discourged at all levels and magnitude. Or even TV shows that encourage people to wait for the big time (that is why jueteng or casino is bad; they demotivate people to work for their success)
One time, we had a forum on social entrepreneurship. The land being occupied by the beneficiaries is tax exempt in the beginnning. But when I asked. when will the beneficiaries pay taxes, they say they do not know? What, they will not share the tax burden so that others will be helped? All they want is to be helped?
Where did everybody get the socialist streak that everything must be done by the government?
My wife is going to have her baby next week. DWSD where are you? Mayor? Barangay captain? Is it not the responsibility of the father to make sure that he has the money for the delivery of his baby?
Where is the livelihood program of the government?
Where is the govt support for the nata de coco production? For the rice production?
Where is the government support for the athletes? (Mind you in many countries, sports programs, like maybe cycling are privately funded enterprises)
The government does not have all THE ANSWERS NOR THE RESOURCES FOR ALL OUR PROBLEMS. We citizens must share in the burden, or even take the lead.
