Public Education is Free But…
I have written about some of the annoying people in our neighborhood. To me, it sure looks like a lot of these young people need drug rehab. My honest opinion, no offense meant.
They walk the streets very very late night, heckling and shouting. They write on gates and fences. They don’t go to school.They form good-for-nothing gangs, engaging in fistfights, petty crimes and disturbing the peace.
One of the reasons why young people do not go to school is because they say, their family I mean, say that there is not enough money to send them to school. Public education is free.
Sure there are bound to be expenses especially concerning about food, transportation and school supplies but parents can do better than NOT sending their children to school.
They should be held accountable. Sadly, in this country of ninety-plus million people with so many underprivileged people, these things go unnoticed by a president who can spend $20,000 on one dinner alone.

That’s what I’ve been yapping about nga rin, T.Julie! They can spend so much on extravagant dinners and hotel accommodations but they can’t see that the ordinary people who are working hard to pay their taxes need to have security and peace. Kung ginagastos na lang nila sa education, peace and order ang pera eh di matutuwa pa ang lahat.
Been a while po. Busy talaga sobra kaya bihira makadalaw
