PAGBABAWAS

Isang kamaganak lumapit sa akin at sinabi na siya ay sinabihan nang amo niya na siya ay “re-trenched.” Itong salitang Ito’y parang malalim ang ibig sabihin. Ang unang pumasok sa isipan ko ay noon unang digmaan na ang mga sundalo ay nasa mga trench, na may maduming tubig, putik, mga hayup na gaga, mga sundalo na may tama nang baril o sugatan, na ang paa ay namamaga. Kaya ang salitang trench ay parang magulong at mahirap na digmaan. Walang nag sabi na madali ang trabaho. May oras na maraming mo ang trabaho sa isang digmaan. Continue reading→

At the same time, they not only set a unique example of service but also dedicate themselves to the daily well-being of their patients. According to the Personal Support Worker HQ website, the average life expectancy in long-term care centers in Canada is 87.2 years, and many of them suffer from mental disabilities, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. As a result, their great sacrifice is unforgettable. This example is reflected during the Corona pandemic everywhere in Canada, even in other countries. Continue reading→
