I've been thinking for a long time what will my next blog be and I think it's time now to show my support and also express my sentiments regarding the ongoing issue about the sea tragedy that happened last August 3 2019 in my beloved province Guimaras.
I was surprised when I opened my facebook account because that is the first thing I do when I wake up. At first, I was just reading like it's normal to read the news about the sea tragedy but as I continue to scroll around my timeline the tragedy is getting serious when I saw some fellow Guimarasnon especially the people in Buenavista that I know personally until I heard it over the news here in manila.
But my main concern here is what happened after the tragedy, thanks to facebook, they kept me updated with the tragedy. People are crying for help because this tragedy caused them a lot of pain and of course problem.
Motor banca is the main transportation that we have in the province and we use it for decades now. I grew up near Buenavista wharf and I witness the situation everyday from the passengers to the motorbanca staff the porters the drivers and even the people who operates small businesses around the wharf.
The sea is our main source of income, from fishing,trading, and of course motorbanca and if we lost this livelihood our families will suffer from hunger and their children won't be able to go to school. I have the right to say these things because I myself is a true blooded Guimarasnon and most of my relatives especially my uncles are working as crew in some of the motorbanca and even if I am away from my province I can feel how hard it is not having daily income.
People now are crying to put back the normal operation but seems like people UP THERE can't hear it? what's happening?can't you really hear them or your just pretending that nothing happened. Marina and DOTC are proposing "Modernization" but through phasing out pumpboats not standardizing pumpboats in short they want to snatch everything from the people who actually depend their lives on the sea.
This is inhumane,it's not fair, and it's easy for them to say that because they haven't experience to live in Guimaras. There were a lot of people died in the tragedy as well as in the pumpboat because they don't want the pumpboat to be covered even if it's too hot and heavy rain??? that is stupidity.
I'm sorry but I want to be rude this time. This is bullshit. People are suffering because of their idiotic actions and they're all fucking morons. You don't deserve any respect from the people who definitely cursing you because of this situation. Please be wise when it comes to your decisions don't be a crap.
