Father’s Day |
|
Happy Father’s Day to all! God bless all Filipino fathers.We
Filipinos should take the celebration of Father’s Day more
seriously than we do now. For one of the problems of our country is
the large number of fathers who have abandoned their families or,
without leaving their families, have abandoned their duty to be the
guide and protector of their families.
Statistics are not available but we see all
around us so many deadbeat fathers—those who don’t work as hard
as they should for the support of their children. But even more than
deadbeats are Pinoy philandering husbands and fathers—those who
leave their families for a mistress whom they also leave to form a
third family with another mistress.

Media observation
