The Decorated Lawyer

She was a decorated student back in the days when she was taking up law, she graduated with honors and proceeded on working in a big company.

For years she worked hard to help the laborers in the company asserting their rights and their benefits. Then one day she lost her job following an altercation with some of the company’s bosses after arguing that instead of cutting down wages and firing people in the company indiscriminately to cut costs, the company should deal with employees who are becoming logs themselves (people in high positions who are not really working, instead just staying in their position just raking up salaries)

Now in her fifties and immediately losing everything she followed her daughter working in the U.S. to look for a job after 6 months of extensive search she comes back to the Philippines still jobless.

The Great Father

He has four children two males and two females, he worked in the middle east for more than 20 years and has time and again witnessed a lot of beheadings from scrupulous muslims to war torn Iraq riding armored vehicles while bidding goodbye to fellow workers whom some have died in front of his eyes.

Sometimes he looses his hair like patches they fall while he recounts the time when he has to contend on watching body parts strewn all over the street after a bombing in the district where he worked. it didn’t bother him that it was dangerous working in Iraq, rather it bothered him that it became almost monotonous looking at them that it doesn’t evoke any more emotions at all afterwards.

Up to this day he still works in the middle east, while his wife walks around in malls playing bingo and his male kids becoming members of notorious fraternities.

The Great Leader

He didn’t finish college because he beat up a notorious ROTC officer who uses his position to bully innocent cadets in his college. He became a regular bystander but worked as a performer in dance clubs until he had a stint in Japan.

He had two kids.

In Japan he worked as a carpenter braving the murderous summer in the streets digging the dirt breaking the ground and because he cannot afford to renew his papers as he was sending money back home for his kids he became an illegal immigrant.

When immigration found out he was deported and was sent back to the Philippines bared from working in Japan for six years, all his stuff confiscated from him.

Today he is now a president of a homeowners association, and as before their coffers had no money due to the lack of initiative of the past administrations but under his command they were able to pay back all the money they owe from the last administration and they are still getting more from the residents as the people are noticing the great leadership he has after each succesful projects he was able to handle in the village.

Today he earns his living as a contractual electrician and he has just finished taking up a licensing exam last week which he knows for a fact he will pass.
