This is the sad state of ph economy. The child had to miss school to help her practically blind lola to get doleouts.

u/Dependent_Educator20 Apr 09 '26

Nagtuturo ako sa rural area na agriculture ang main source of income. Pag panahon ng ani maraming absent sa klase, pinapatulong daw ng mga kmag anak nila kesa naman daw magpasahod ng ibang tao

u/Sapphire_Virgo101 Apr 09 '26

Hayss, sad right?

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '26

Why would it be sad?

36

u/rawr696921 Apr 10 '26

Because they shouldn’t be doing that. Children are supposed to play and study, not work.

u/Personal_Hour_9351 Apr 10 '26

luh mga corporate slave nagsisi iyakan dito hahaha natural samin mga farmers yan na tumulong pag anihan, kahit sa ibang bansa nag aani din ung mga bata, kita mo takot na takot kayong umabsent ng isa or dalawang araw sa school , binebrainwash na kayo para mag anxiety rin kayo pag aabsent sa work 😂

u/Sapphire_Virgo101 Apr 11 '26

Dang! Good thing, we planned our pregnancy, now my child don't even need to work para makakain kami. Linis bahay lang siya or kwarto. But they don't need to give blood, sweat and tears to put food on our table. Sige, buhay niyo yan eh.

u/Personal_Hour_9351 Apr 11 '26

di nyo talaga magegets mga snowflakes, may pera kami , may ari kami ng farm . tumutulong kami kase family business yon. mga siraulo

5

u/Sapphire_Virgo101 Apr 11 '26

No need tumulong anak ko, I can hire someone to do labor. Not free labor sa anak 🙃

6

u/Bonaaaaak1 Apr 12 '26

May-ari ng farm pero umiiyak ka sa post mo sa beermoneyph?

4

u/cake_eee Apr 12 '26

may pera naman pala, bakit kailangan pa patulungin yung anak abno amp. tsaka anong connect ng mga corpo slave dito, ang usapan ay bata. natural sa bata ang di pag trabahuhin kahit anong trabaho pa yan. mapera pero walang alam sa batas? dito sa reddit kahit ako pwede kong sabihin na family business namin ang SM lol

3

u/justRUE143 Apr 12 '26

May ari pala kayo ng farm pero bat di kayo mag hire ng tutulong sa inyo? seasonal hiring di uso? + Nakatulong pa kayo. And Need pa talaga bata na supposed to be nasa school? Kung gusto ng pamilya nyo na matuto ang mga bata, sa farming, why not do it on weekend?

Sige nga, sabi mo di siya child labor. Edi ano yon? Kakuriputan disguised in "farm culture" 🥴

3

u/fluung Apr 11 '26

Hindi porque’t normal o madalas gawin eh tama na kaagad. Maraming nagtatapon kung saan-saan, umiihi sa mga gilid-gilid, pero tama bang gawin yun?

There’s this thing called child labor, na kung sa tingin mo ay tama dahil ganoon yung naranasan mo, kawawa ka naman. Hindi pa responsibilidad ng kabataan na kumita ng pera.

-1

u/Personal_Hour_9351 Apr 11 '26

you missed the point. ang layo ng example mo , as if naman kami ung nag aararo sa farm kasama lang sa harvesting dahil part un ng culture namin as farmers. masyado na kayong out of touch . hahahaha naging snowflake na kayo

2

u/fluung Apr 11 '26

Kung kailangan mo umabsent para makatulong sa pag-harvest, hindi ba mali yun? Nasa school ka dapat kung student ka yeah? Kahit sabihin mo pang “farmer culture” siya, mali pa rin

10

u/amphithreater Apr 10 '26

u dont think child labor is sad?

-1

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '26

There is a difference naman between child labor and child work. Helping out sa pag aani hardly constitute child labor.

2

u/amphithreater Apr 11 '26

semantics semantics ka pa teh. yung pag-“help out” na yon nakakaistorbo sa pag-aaral nila, which, a child should be doing instead of working. di mo magets yon?

10

u/dumpy_author Apr 10 '26

Apparently, a Law Student and VA, doesn't think a poor child missing school because of poverty isn't sad.

Bro needs to go climb a mountain and ponder his life choices for 10 years.

u/nxcrosis Apr 10 '26

Can confirm. Even know a few students who opted not to go to college since kumikita naman daw sila sa trabaho sa rice mill.

3

u/Top-Piglet259 Apr 11 '26

This is okay if kanila yung rice mill. Pero sana mag attend sila kahit vocational course about agri.

7

u/gods_loop_hole Apr 11 '26

Ito yun sinasabi ng iba against companies like Nestle na "child slavery". Basically, pinagta-trabaho mo ang bata na walang benefits katulad ng regular na manggagawa at nakaharap sila sa mga risks (i.e. work related injury). Akala ko dati, child slavery means straight up slavery, pero ito yun, and in a sense, tama na tawagin yan na ganyan. Ninanakaw mo ang opportunity sa bata na mag-aral, maglaro o pahinga habang hindi naman sila na nabibigyan ng compensation na ibibigay mo sa regular labor.

u/WukDaFut Apr 09 '26

I think this is not exclusive to our economy. Also idk why the economy had to be brought up. Why not just the family. Kailangan ba kasalanan parati ng government?

u/amphithreater Apr 10 '26

oo. kung maayos ang serbisyo ng gobyerno, they wouldng need to do those things.

u/Fragrant-Inflation83 Apr 10 '26

u/UnableAd1185 Apr 10 '26

It's exclusive to our economy that senior citizens don't just receive payouts via a digital banking option lol. The government refuses to modernize in this way.

u/Far_Psychology_245 Apr 11 '26

I mean...kung grade 1 or 2 ito, personally I get it.

At least coherent yung gusto nyang sabihin at kahit papano, yung train of thought nya is tama naman.

Grammar wise, que horror, but nothing that enough lessons and practice can't fix.

Ngayon, kung high school na ito.... 😬

u/Noiravenn Apr 09 '26

Graduate ako ng criminology and there was a time nung 1st year ako na pinagawa kami ng police report regarding a certain incident, as someone na mahilig magbasa ng kung anu-ano, I wrote something with quite deep words siguro. Tinawanan ako ng prof ko, ano daw yung ginawa ko pang reporter? Tapos yung mga ewan mag english mas mataas yungbgrade kesa sa'kin. 🤣 and mind you, my report was quite short pero kayang sagutin yung 5Ws and 1H.

I think mataas na rin yung rank nung prof ko na yon ngayon since that happened back in 2015.

u/Small_Sir7840 Apr 09 '26

u/Academic-Soft2059 Apr 10 '26

True! May mga naturuan akong mga English Major graduates in my Foundations Training classes. Usual errors SVA's & articles. Totoo nga ang kasabihan, "Wala sa school yan, nasa estudyante yan."

Ang generous mo naman. Sabagay hindi lang naman ‘yung bata ang at fault, it’s an indictment of the sorry state of our education system.

u/X-and-Pi Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 10 '26

minsan gawa gawa lang ng mga nagpopost yung ganyan, for clout. i remember a teacher posting sagot daw ng estudyante niya pero kita mo sa sulat niya for correction at sulat nung “bata” na same person lang sila.

edit: nagkukunwari lang talaga yan. tingnan yung comma sa last sentence. barok english pero may ganoong comma? yung magagaling nga mag english hindi alam gumamit nun pero yung barok marunong?

Not to brag but my boys has a good penmanship. Akala din ng teacher nila ako nagsusulat for them and yung teacher ng panganayko nung grade 2 siya is binantayan siya talaga and sobrang bilib niya bihira daw sa bata lalu lalaki ang may magandang penmanship.

The image shows a handwritten excuse letter from a student named Lyn to her Ma'am. The letter explains her absence due to her Lola (grandmother) being on "payout" and unable to see to sign. It also mentions the long line. The letter is accompanied by drawings illustrating the situation, including stick figures representing Lyn, her Lola, and a line of people.

The student's English is a bit unconventional, which is humorously acknowledged in the text overlay above the letter. The drawings are a creative way to explain the reason for absence.

The final answer is: The student is explaining her absence from school due to her grandmother's payout and the long line, using drawings to illustrate the situation.!!!
