----------------- Kuya, (older Brother in
English, oppa in Korean), wala lang feeling koreana. “Kuya” dahil siya ay
responsible person, He has 5 brothers and he is the second eldest among
siblings. Hindi siya panganay but still Kuya
provides the needs of his brothers, especially for schooling expenses. Meron
kasi silang Nursing, Criminology and elementary students. He provides daily allowances
from his kapiranggot na kita. “Kuya” was not able to
experienced college life, hindi siya naka-pag-aral dahil it is the same year na
nagkasakit ang kapatid niyang si Potpot, (brain cancer). Kailangan ang tulong
ni Kuya to assist Potpot and to look
after his mom na rin. Dahil bakante si Kuya
he’s been exposed with street activities, mula sa mabuti hanggang masama,
anything street can offer, then eventually became part of anak-bayan youth band
@ UP, and also enjoying basketball and skateboarding. After 2 years Kuya graduated, and absorbed by Ford Motor Company, a prestigious automotive manufacturing firm around the globe. But still life is not that easy, his life is a story of struggle. He became part of Body Shop, the controversial body shop. He is nobody; he is just a simple line partner, a simple line partner waiting to be recognized. After 4 years of his service, same scenario ang nararanasan. Naiipit silang mga partner sa mga Team Leader’s rivalry. Dahil makapangyarihan ang iba they were stealing their opportunities mula’t sapol, from being a member of Pillars up to having a rate of “exceed” as an employee. Mahabang kwento, pero ala din namang makikialam, kaya si Kuya mananatiling ipit. But the living fact is, evidently Body Shop has the numerous number of Separation Program availment. Marami na rin ang napagod sa maling sistema na hindi alam ng admin, sayang most of them are from senior batch ayaw mang umalis, but it is better to leave than staying with falls-hope of success. Kuya remains a dreamer, he is someone who can’t afford to lose a job in one day, the reason why, kahit nabubulok he choose to stay, he is not one of them who grab the opportunity to avail of the said program… Though he is complaining sometimes, with loads of pain, and sobrang pasma ng kamay, still he is required to sit on tertiary position for the sake of his family.
Then one day God decided, “Carlos it is about time for you to be lucky”. Kuya were occasionally helping Finance team during the “plant down days”. And with surprise, he was invited to become part of Accounting officially, and finally his hard-work has been recognize. Makakapag-pahinga na rin ang pasmado at kalyadong kamay ni Kuya. Kuya with full of excitement, ran to me, griping into his entire soul the once in a lifetime good news of opportunity. After a week of excitement, today is the final day, if the request has been approved. At 11:00am today May 02, 2007 “Kuya” called me up, with a sound of extreme disappointment, crying dreadfully of things that he is out of control. A determined man has failed again. His boss disapproved the request, of him being transferred to the paradise. According to his boss, kulang daw ng tao sa linya if itatransfer siya, maybe Mr. Boss has good reasons, I was once transact with him when I was still working with Ford, and I can say that he is a good man, a supportive man. For whatever the reason is, one thing is for sure… Kuya will remain a dreamer, the loads of burden is still the same, the omnipotent dream fails to prevail his hard-work, his ability, and his capability. Kuya has no one to ask for help, nor someone to fight for his right, nor someone bothered to fetch him to his dream. Most of the time life is unfair… Yung iba nag-aapply pa lang suportado na, samantalang siya requested na but has no one to turn to… Haaay All I can advise to Kuya, is not to judge God’s plan, His gift are sometimes delivered
in different packages, sometimes not intended to meet our expectations, but it
is always depends on His will, God’s will. Then he begun to smile, and
surrender his worries to the most almighty and entrusted his dream to the Great
Mentor. Because we undoubtedly believed: |
