It was one scorching heat day in Iligan city when I revisited my important clients. Of course, a bit excited to be there again because I really love the small city even I hate some scenes. It was noon time when I arrived in bus terminal of Tambo. I rode the jeepney after( it was funny coz I still dont know where am I going and being stupid curious of the place.hehehe!!!) So, I didn't mind the time and the luggage that I carry the whole day. Funny coz, I was thinking of myself of being a "balikbayan" in disguise(hahaha joke!!).
Anyway, let's get serious, shall we?..............So, when I decided to ride a cab since I was in a hurry catching up my clients, I passed one road and freaks me out when I saw these "kalesas" (it was pretty historical though) but, that's NOT what I meant. Its the horses who carry bunch of people for transport and felt crushed my heart when I saw them.
Why?
Well, imagine if you're a Egyptian slave during Moses era that you work all day and no water in exchange and you see yourself that severely dehydrated (Shit!! are you kiddin me? Can I kill the driver please!!!). They are ruthless and f*****g idiots just thinking of thier income for the day (pardon of my foul words, I can't help it!!) as in, putang ina!! my hands were shaking as I pass by these horses who are obviously getting weak, very thirsty and drooling of saliva in their mouths in the middle of sunny day (OMG!!). I never knew these drivers that they seem don't care for them at all.I even saw one driver who made a relaxation while his horse is standing still on a hot-cemented road and thirsty. I had a little chat with the cab driver and asked a few questions about them. They were already violated the law before but, they're were rich businessmen behind and morons to keep them on the track. I even pleased the driver "can we pause a bit here, I want to get out of the cab for a moment and make a scene, I want to punch them very hard so they will realize the importance of life" and the driver said "No!! you don't have to! I understand you're feelings but be careful of their organization and I said "that's fine!! i felt bad on them". Now, I just remembered about my little brother who died in vain helplessly and flashed the events that triggered my anger" (whew!! chill!!).
I just said to myself "am i really lucky that I'm human?" Sometimes, humans are meant not to be existed because of Acts of cruelty that we cannot tolerate even in a simple manner. We are fearsome of all organisms in this planet. I hate myself that I cannot save everybody but, I guess, I have to thank myself still that I'm human no matter what it takes.
