Donations

My God there was a heated debate on the donations for Sarah Burke's hospital and medical expenses in the USA. Since the tragic accident happened in Utah, while on training for her skiing she was rushed to the hospital , was in a coma and later on died of heart attack. Here's my piece of the "sympathy outrage." I feel happy for her and her family who will forever cherish her being the Olympic champ however I feel sorry too for her sudden tragic death and now being the much talk about case of athletes not covered with medicare. How that happened? Canada...USA, you know too many red tapes maybe? Whateverrrr....what is the problem here is just about DONATIONs. You don't need to give you know? It's up to you to give but if you will give and so f idiot to say something awful and disrespectful of a dead person I think that's very inhumane and totally outrageous. I mean don't you have any conscience?
With just $1 or $2 that you can donate, each one of you donating such amount of money multiplied with let's say the population of people who knows Sarah Burke or the Olympic athlete whom you admired and gave Canada glory in 2010 Olympic games? What's wrong with you people? Is ONE dollar too much for you? One dollar each person living and residing here in Canada. Combined those dollars and what have you got? What's the population of people in her hometown? Let say 100,000 people in that location where she lives then multiplied the dollars you have donated $100,000. As simple as that.

You know when my Mother was a President for the 6th District in our Barangay or small Village, my Mother used to ask me to collect money for the deceased neighbor or neighbors. I have to knock door to door asking for donation. I have a piece of lined paper where the names of my neighbors and the amount they have donated. Some neighbors can contribute in any amount and they can sign in too that they have donated the money for the dead person. All the money and the list (record) were then given to the family of the deceased with all the witnesses that the money really goes to that particular family. This is to incur or help the grieving family from expensive burial. A coffin is too costly. A coffin in Philippines is worth at least P50,000 (made of the finest wood). Memorial (Wake) for the dead in Philippines last for one week. Seven days of wake where the family of the deceased have to entertain the whole clan and visitors until the last day and then burial followed with a long procession from the house to the cemetery.

Palala lang po: Hindi po komo may word na Witness dyan ay JW na. Puede ba hindi lahat ng witness eh JW. Bakit ba may mga taong kailangan ng mahabang paliwanag? Bakit laging may mga tao na mahirap makaintindi? Simpleng English, simpleng tagalog hindi makaintindi tiyak na hindi taal na Filipino ang mga yan. Dyan lagi ang umpisa ng awayan at giyera. Kailangan pa bigyan mo ng drawing or visual aid. Kung bingi? Grabe na talaga sa sama nung ibang tao kaya sige magsipagdasal kaya ng husto para makatulog kayo sa gabi. Kung magising kayo bukas ay magpasalamat rin kayo dahil aba buhay pala kayo at hindi patay.
