Isang Kahig, Isang Tuka

[Doc Alan]

I guess the disturbing pictures in UK newspapers of scavenging for survival after the fire in the Maysila village show, far from complacency, the desperate attempts to survive against all the odds. They graphically illustrate to me "isang kahig isang tuka", timed with sad irony to coincide with this thread.
It's always been ingrained in me not to sit in judgement on people, especially not knowing the background of these particular victims of disaster. But these photos horrified me. If only more members could read and respond to worthwhile threads such as this. Well done meng_istacio for raising this topic in your very first post, and to the members who have so far responded

Just because some members haven't responded doesn't mean they don't care.

I don't think it's compulsory to respond, or what posts members read is on record.

Perhaps you ARE sitting in judgement on THEM.

Of course it's not compulsory to respond ! I don't expect any or all members to either agree with me or respect me. That's entirely up to them. No one is universally popular. They are free to criticise my posts and interpret them as they wish. I will not rise to the bait or lower myself to criticise them. Many know I have given them "reps" as often as the system allows.
I will continue to support this excellent forum and the many good members on it. Enough do trust me ! Those who don't appreciate my posts can put me on "ignore" - not something I will ever do for them.
