Prior to the incident, the mother had not only been suffering from postpartum depression but had also been physically ill for several days. The father, a policeman, was reportedly neglectful of the family and is alleged to have been having an affair. He was sending the mother only 2,500 pesos a week—just 2,500 pesos to support a new mother and her three young sons, aged 1, 3, and 6. https://bandera.inquirer.net/416535/nanay-3-anak-patay-matapos-masunog-sa-loob-ng-bahay-sinadya-o-aksidente This not just a tragedy—it’s a cry for help that went unanswered.

 by Reuben Wriarts Art by Reuben Wriarts                                         Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror? How do you look like? How do your hair, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips and even the shape of your face look like? How does every single detail of you look like? Do you love it, or do you even like it? Each of us has our own different details in ourselves, and in our lives. What we have can be none to others. What others have can be none to us, either. We have different shapes, features, and figures. We have different personalities determined by our personal preferences, beliefs, perspective and mindset about life. These factors that affect our personality can change every now and then as we encounter different experiences, scenarios, and circumstances on the pathway we choose to walk on. In line wit...
