Significance
22 October 2013
Bohol continues to shake. Lives take on new beginnings. What was hidden beneath daily routines, now takes shape as awakenings.
A man goes to work everyday to feed his family. Tilling the farm, enduring the scorching heat of the sun. Each day that opens, closes with a silent passing. Years turned, muscles worn-out, age became a sole mark of a life that has been. Enthusiasm grows thin as the number of mouths to feed increases.
Small for his age, feeble and frail, walks to school with an empty stomach, worn out slippers and blank head. the ten-year old boy who can be mistaken for a seven, spends the day walking - back and forth, in the morning and in the mid afternoon. such a heavy thought as heavy lids are forced to open to start up the day. and it goes on and on endlessly.
