Hello SNOWFLAKE...

  
 Hello SNOWFLAKE...

                As provided by the civil code Article 19 “Every person must, in the exercise of his rights and in the performance of his duties, act with justice, give everyone his due, and observe honesty and good faith”.

The civil code if defined is a collection of laws which regulate private relations of members of civil society, such laws as provided determines each person’s respective rights and obligations with reference to persons, things and civil actions.

Said rights with respect to article 19 should be exercised with justice and good faith otherwise, the person injured would need redress from the other who committed a damaging act or omission against another.

The government itself, it’s representatives chosen and voted by the people, the lawmakers who create bills that would be turned into laws, are the ones responsible on legislating said bills to which as provided by the constitution the president or the chief executive will sign and after 15 days following the completion of their publication will then take effect.

There are several processes and procedures that would need to be done in order to turn a bill into law, such action needs a lot of resources, the government uses the taxes collected from the people in order to have the budget to research properly a bill before it gets discussed by our lawmakers and even before the president signs said bill or ratify it.

Resources, however, are not all just about money or budget, resources can also be time, it can be manpower and plenty of things needed just to get things going.

So why am I pointing this out?

Easy…

The Philippines right now, our government, our lawmakers and even the executive office are clearly wasting precious resources to issues not really urgent. Such waste is negatively affecting some members of the Filipino society mainly our farmers who by the way really needs help right now.

Give or take and as I have researched there are about 10 million rice farmers in the Philippines if there are 100 million Filipinos then if you look at it that 10 million is a big percentage of people who resides in this country and that’s just the farmers alone.

A production cost of palay is usually around 12 pesos per kilo and the average farmgate price of palay is about 17 pesos if you look at the math, although I’m not really good at it, give or take a farmer may earn up to 5 pesos give or take per kilo of palay sold.

Unfortunately, as I have seen in the news, some greedy wholesalers are buying farmgate palay at only 8 pesos per kilo, this act was then debunked by the great “Cynthia Villar” saying that those being sold at 8 pesos per kilo were the ones that have been severely damaged by the typhoon causing unwarranted moisture.

Our farmers unfortunately, are accepting these prices even though it is below the proper price that they should accept.

Why do they do this you ask?

Well, it’s because of three words. BASIC HUMAN NEEDS.  

Our farmers, should the great “ CYNTHIA VILLAR” would know, are people too and they have needs, as a human being a person needs to eat, he needs money for electricity, food, basic necessities and primarily money so that said farmers who by the way have families can pay the tuition fee and materials their children would need in order to get a proper education.  

Shouldn’t the government itself be the one to help these farmers, I mean, why is there no budget appropriation for that issue?

Shouldn’t the Mainstream Media focus more on this problem instead of focusing it on a non-URGENT ISSUE? I mean every people have rights. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community or whatever they are called now I have nothing against you but there are people right now dying out there of hunger and is being pummelled with debt because they need money in order to bring food at the table.

Though yes I know we have several lawmakers out there and some of them are giving concern towards said farmers issue, however, it’s not just about that. If the media also gave their focus in order to provide said the issue with a more compelling light and emphasize said problem to the people through the use of their so-called Media. Then things may move faster to resolve said issue.

A snowflake is a term to describe an entitled, whiny, sensitive person who easily gets offended or triggered, by the acts of others even if the said act was committed under good faith.  

Right now there are hundreds of snowflakes out there and because of them, a more urgent issue of the government isn’t given more emphasis.

You. Snowflake… This is your fault…

As much as I want to go further the subject of how many snowflakes there are right now…

Something more urgent should be given emphasis. There are valid classifications or distinctions given to each person. There are men, there are women. There are adults and there are children. Each and every one of them has several distinctions and classifications that are found on the other and are not found on the latter. A child compared to an adult has a limited legal capacity because of their age. The strength between men and women and their scientific classifications. And there are rich people and poor people.

Your gender wouldn’t kill you. Man, Woman whatever you are… it won’t kill you. However, if a farmer can’t bring food at the table of his family and provide basic necessities for them, then just might as well pull the trigger, because that is what you are doing.

Poverty can indeed kill, you, however, won’t die because of your gender.
