Habang inaantay ko mga kasama ko, Nakaupo ako sa tabi ng mag ina na to. Nung una, pinabayaan nya lang ung anak nyang pagala gala na tila pulubi sa loob ng mall hanggang sa sinita sya ng guard dahil nakikitang pagala gala ung anak nya so ang ginawa nya tinali nya tapos balik siya sa pagtulog nya. Andaming taong nagtitinginan pero hindi ko talaga ma-take yung itali nya ung anak niyang tila aso. Well naisip ko “ayos to ah, para makatulog ako itali ko anak ko” kasi effective nga naman dahil di lumalayo yung bata. May mga taong napapadaan na pinipicturan sila. Tapos pag umiiyak ung bata pinapalo nya ng bonggang bongga edi lalong nagtitinginan ung mga tao kasi sinisigawan nya at kinakausap nya as if naiintindihan siya e tila 2 yrs old plang yung bata. Siguro 1 oras ko din silang nakikita and napaka dami kong narealize kasi ako din may anak. May time nga na naisip ko kunin ko kaya ung bata tapos ampunin kaso naisip ko kay caeli lang hirap na hirap na ko. Naisip ko din na bihisan ko ng malinis na damit at paliguan tapos ibalik sa pagkakatali tapos magugulat ung nanay nya. Meron ding nagbigay ng boiled egg dun sa bata para may makain kasi obvious na gutom. Hanggang sa ayan inantok ung bata at nakatulog nalang sa sahig. Napapaisip ako kung anong pinaggagawa ng nanay nya bakt tila puyat na puyat. May mga naki table din sakanila dhl nga sobrang daming tao at hindi naman sya kumakain. Imagine mo ung kumakain ka tapos may muka sa harap ng pagkain mo. Cute cute pa naman nung bata. Jusko ang hirap makakita ng mga gantong pangyayare pag may anak ka na. Maluha luha pa ko dahil sa awa dun sa bata. Nasabe ko din sa sarili kong d ko hahayaang umabot kami sa ganyan. At sobra sobra ko din naappreciate lahat ng nagmamahal samin at tumutulong lalo na sa anak ko. Yung feeling na kahit hindi kami happy family at walang tatay yung anak ko yet napaka daming blessings at nagmamahal sakanya. Dito ko din nakita yung unconditional love from your child kasi kahit anong palo at sigaw ng nanay nya, babalik at babalik sya sa nanay nya. At napansin ko din na mas malikot anak ko kesa sa anak nya pero yung psensya nya sobrang iksi. Pano nalang kung kasing likot nya si caeli? Baka napatay nya ng wala sa oras yon. Gusto ko din kausapin ung nanay kaso baka adik pala at saksakin ako. Sa takot ko mangeelam, sinumbong ko nalang sa guard bago ako makaalis ng 999 mall sa divisoria. Di ko na nga lang nakita kung ano ginawa nung guard.
Here are some reaction of our netizens
- Iresponsable naman yan. Kawawa yung bata

- Grabe nmn oh..kawawang bata…bkt kc my mga magulang na ganyan…
- anu ba nmn yan babaeng yan sana ung mga taong ganyan di nabibiyayaan ng anak….hay naku dami kaya gusto magkaanak tpos sya ganyan gagawin
- asan ang tatay nya dun nalang sya sa tatay nya pwedi
- Nkaka durog nmn ng puso yan. Many are not given the chance to be a parent. Pro etong isang 2, biniyayaan ng anak pero ganyan ang gngawa. Whatever her reasons are, she’s not worth to have a child.#affectedmomhere
My Personal Opinion
We don’t know why is reason the woman is so sleepy. But if your going to think this woman might be facing and expriencing domestic problems. Try to observe this woman has lots of bags at her side and might contain all of their clothes. Another reason she have no one to leave her son and she working out her butt for her child. If your so tired and sleepy its hard to think straight and what more if this lady had any sleep for days.
As for the others any tying kids is a sign of “parang aso yung bata”. But did you ever think this is one way of securing their kids. Some will say “they should have stayed at home is they going to tie their kids.” This would mean the parent will be glued at home because of that? This is one norms that we Filipino should broaden up and think. What happened here with this photo is pity and anger. People should have more compassion and have done something. We never know she might be a single parent and facing her problem all alone with a child.
If I where there and I have nothing to do or not in a rush I would take the child my side until the woman get enough nap. A power nap can do wonders to anybody and definitely this woman needed it. Better yet if I could talk to this woman and ask if she has a problem or needed help. It’s better to do something than nothing!
Why would I help this woman? Because I know the feeling of so tired and sleepy and when your child is so hyper and so awake. That your body would feel so numb and you can’t think straight at all. As the saying “The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”
We must learn not to judge a person until you get to talk and know the person. A person can look ok but deep inside this person has problems you never imagine. So people if you see something like this and you can do something to help then help and make a difference.
“It’s Better To Do Something Than Nothing”
“Having Pity will do nothing but having Compassion will go a long way”
If you got to see such incident what would you do? Would you do something and make a difference?
