Dear Manang,
I have an uncle who does not want to see us and would rather call other relatives for help even if we are in the same city. We are worried that he cannot walk anymore but his wife would rather they keep to themselves. How must this be done? I don’t know what to do.
Del of Liteng, Pacdal, Baguio City
Dear Del,
Often, those who act strong are those who need help. You must reach out because they will not do it. You have to make them feel that you care for them because maybe they never got attention. Otherwise, their pride must be getting the better of them. Go and conquer their insecurities or pride.
Reach out,
Manang
Dear Manang,
I have my pension but this seldom keeps body and soul together. My maintenance medicines eat up most of the funds because I recently had a stroke. My issue is that I don’t have enough money to support my son who has not looked for a job since the pandemic. He is still single and I can’t shoo him out of the house. What do I do?
Randy of Puliwes, Baguio City
Dear Randy,
The opportunities for work are still so limited at this time. I am sure your son is in the same quandary. Don’t be impatient because you need him even if he has no work. Why not ask some friends if they have anything for him? Another issue is that they have degrees and to get just any job is not practical unless you have a family to feed. Patience, dear. God hears you.
Chill,
Manang
