Living-an
Under the bridge of Bocohan, Lucena City, Venus Pimentel and her
family have been building their dreams for 18 years. But sadly, a life under this
bridge means their family is filled with risks and danger.
According to Venus, natural disasters often strike them. During typhoons,
the water level of the river near their house rises, making them evacuate and
rush to higher areas or evacuation centers because of the possibility that the wild
flow of the river water could drastically wash away their house.
“Lumalakas talaga yung agos hanggang dun sa baba, inaabot kami pero
madalang kaya lang pinagsasabihan pa rin namin yung mga bata kasi delikado
talaga,” Venus stated.

Sample Meanwhile, there are times that their children get involved
in unfortunate accidents. When their 10 year-old son, Andrei, was
Body running, he accidentally collided his head on the iron steel of the
bridge, giving him a wound that was needed to be stitched. He also
got hit by a van that was passing through the bridge.
For them, it is also a struggle to live in their community
because of the loud noise, bad odor caused by the nearby piggery,
and their other neighbors having poor hygiene and sanitation. In
addition, there was also an incident of a person being killed under
the bridge.
“Minsan magulo at nagaaway-away din at gawa nung
babuyan dun sa taas, bumabaho dito. Dati, may nangyaring patayan
dun sa ilalim ng tulay… wala ako nun pero sabi nila mga lasing daw
yun,” Venus continued.

#KAMALAYAN
2017. Panibagong taon ng dekadang dala ay panibagong hamon.
Hudyat ng palitada ng paglalakbay ng isang sambayanang Pili na, Pino
Pa… Pilipino ngang talaga. Simula ng pagbabagong matagal na inaasam at
pinapangarap ng bawat mamamayan sa kanlungan ng kanyang kinalakhan.
2017. Bagong umpisa. Tungo sa katuparan ng programang tugon sa
lumang problema… sagot at solusyon sa estado ng maralitang mamamayang
kapos sa pagkalinga ng gobyerno.
2017. Mabubuo ang isang hangarin. Pagtatagpiin ang bawat hibla ng
pangarap… maipipinta lamang ang magandang programa sa estado’t usapin ng
pangkalusugan sa bansa – programang kung maisasakatuparan ay titingalain sa
buong Southeast Asia.
2017. Aasa. Kakapit. Maninindigan. Wala ni katiting na pagdududang
maniwala at sasaludo ang salinlahi ni Juan sa ikinakasang programang ito ng
Duterteng pamahalaan. Maghihintay ng katuparan at buong galak itong
sasalubungin sapagkat katumbas nito ay isang kasaysayan.
