Anak, pinagtataga ang nanay dahil sa Social Amelioration Program

Marami ang di makakuha ng tulong ng DSWD o tinatawag na Social Amelioration Program dahil di sila kuwalipikado na makakuha. Umalma na maging ang nasa middle class, bakit di raw sila kasali gayung apektado rin sila. Ngunit di lahat nang nakakakuha ng SAP ay pinapalad. Katulad ng isang 59-anyos na nanay na napaslang nang sarili niyang anak dahil dito. Ayon sa ulat, nanghingi diumano ng pera na ang 34-anyos na anak sa nanay nito. Pero nang hindi ito napagbigyan ay pinagtataga niya ito. Nangyari ang krime sa Rosario, La Union. Sabi ng pulisya, may deprensya diumano ang lalaki at nakainom pa ng alak.

Hindi niya raw alam na may dala-dala na siyang virus. Nag-umpisa nang mangati ang kanyang lalamunan at ubuhin na ilan sa sintomas sa pagkakaroon ng Covid. Pero hindi niya ito pinapansin sa pag-aakalang pangkaraniwan lang ito. Maligamgam na tubig at salabat lang ang kanyang iniinom.

Mula sa Mommy Toni Fowler YT Channel Namigay ng pera sina Toni Fowler at Rob Moya sa mga tao na pawang nakita lang nila sa daanan. Namigay sila ng tag-limang libo, isang libo at limang daan. Mari-rami ring nabigyan ang dalawa at talaga namang tuwang-tuwa ang mga nakatanggap. Mayroon pang nagtatalon sa tuwa matapos makatanggap ng limang libo na katumbas na ng Social Amelioration Program ng DSWD. Ilan sa mga masuwerteng naambunan ng biyaya ay mga vendor, pulis, barangay workers, tricecyle driver atbp pa. Hindi ito ang pagsunod sa nauuso ngayon na Mayaman Challenge ni Francis Leo Marcos.
