Everyday travel from home to work and vice versa is quite a challenge – stress, fatigue, possible accidents, and a lot more. It's even more challenging if you've to pass by dangerous areas to get to work. Like for example, passing by a place where there are lots of addicts, snatchers, and even hold-uppers can put so much pressure and anxiety.
Of course, anyone would be anxious if there’s a need to pass by these areas. Yet, the usual worry would be the possibility of being attacked by these “dangerous guys”.
Yesterday afternoon was a shocking revelation when I saw a group of young boys and girls near Circle Inn in Q Ave. Cor. Timog having their rugby sessions. Even if the sun's still up and a lot of passengers and bystanders are in the area, they are enthusiastically having their rugby sessions.
It’s typical for MMDA (even if they’re busy of traffic and apprehending motorists) personnel (even Police) to be roving around the area. As such, it’s quite questionable why these rugby boys and girls aren’t apprehended. Also, considering that Q Ave. and Timog are busy areas, it is very impossible for people passing by not to notice these kids. Yet, how come they are still there – brave enough to show to everyone what they are doing?
An officemate is right. The people have become apathetic of the presence of these kids. Instead of caring about saving these kids from a hell existence, most (including myself) would rather think of ways how to protect our selves and escape these guys in case they’d attack us.
But I guess our anxiety is very much bounded to serving our selves. Of course, it is important to think of our safety. Yet, we tend to forget that these people have yet to enjoy and experience. We’ve neglected them and have become used to their presence not taking into consideration that we can do something for them – than simply fearing them.

> passengers / bystanders / motorists should have the initiative to report to authority of this horrendous scene in the area;
> authority to pay attention to these kids – apprehend and place them in the right area where they can be relieved of this addiction as well as an institution where they can have the education they need; and
> for me to report (considering that I am a bystander) to the local authority of this appalling situation near my workplace.
Everyone deserves to be guided to create a good life amidst poverty and other challenges in life. Let’s be anxious in helping them to dream and soar high – not rugby high.
I wonder what Mayor SB is doing about this.
