Poverty In The Philippines

[nitrox]

This is one reason why my mum would always check out first if someone who asks for help (i.e. job recommendation, etc.) is worthy enough to be helped. She once helped a neighbour get into a job and she found out the guy was lazy and causing troubles at work. And when the guy asked my mum to get into another job when he was fired, my mum couldn't care less.

We also have some relatives that my mum helps when they are in short of money. Now that they're all working overseas, they still ask my mum to help their families. My mum said no and ignored them. They have means of supporting their family now and still ask my mum for monetary help! We told my mum to ignore them.

And the real kick in the teeth will be they will have the attitude that your mum is the bad person for not helping anymore.
