‘Batang Carabao’ child labor is OK if parents approve—DSWD – Regions – GMANews.TV – Official Website of GMA News and Public Affairs – Latest Philippine News

Such a bad view. People in rural areas should be taught the right things. Most of these parents haven’t even finished their studies and they’re thinking that using their children as Carabao substitutes is ok. That is child labor! And I so disagree with the DSWD in the Caraga Region. Who says “as long as one or both parents approve of it”? I mean where did they get the idea. Of course one or both of the parents will approve if they think what they’re doing is right. Most of them are uncivilized people who only based their teachings from their ancestors and from what they heard from their neighbors.
I actually thought that’s what DSWD’s job is. To do what is right for the children when the parents couldn’t. It’s the welfare of the children we’re talking about here. I hope their eyes will be open.

Three types
Feb 27, 2010 Blogs
We cannot measure God’s wisdom. Pity on those who think they know they answers. Pity on those who think they have potentials. I don’t mean this negatively. There’s always something special in us. But those doesn’t mean, it’s naturally from us. It’s a God given gift. Most of us are able to find it, but not able to use it the way it’s intended to. God has set something in our hearts to use for His Glory. That’s the main reason why we live. God made us to know Him, love Him and to serve Him.
I loved this sermon I heard a few months ago. It’s about three types of life drivers.
1. There’s a type of driver who just wants to enjoy the ride and lets the devil take the wheel. Obviously, you will find him in dark areas such as: disco bars, night clubs. Drugs, alcohol, sex and destruction are often times associated to him. That’s because, where the devil is, there he is. He lets the devil own his life and he just rides with him not knowing when and where it’s gonna end.
2. There’s another type of driver who takes over the wheel and drive for himself. That’s because he has confidence that he knows what he’s doing. Most of the time, his idea is that, he owns his life and he knows who he is, thus he knows how to operate his life and make it turn out successful in his own ways. He drives his life safely, cause he can see the road and he can see the enemies. He drives securely knowing his life is at stake. He’s a good driver but he can’t make it through. Why not? Simply because he doesn’t know which way to go. He can drive properly but when he reaches the crossroads, he wouldn’t know where to go next.

Dream and Walk
Do you still believe in dreams? I still do. I don’t mean ‘dream’ like literally. When I say dream, it’s the vision you have inside your heart. It starts out as a simple thought. Which you think would just go away, until you find yourself thinking of the same thought over and over again. The more you think of it, it becomes your desire. It gets carved into your heart. Only you know how much you get delighted when you think of it. And only God knows if it’s a way of showing you the things you’re going to do for the rest of your days.
That thought could also be a start of something totally brand new which will change your life forever. This change I’m talking about is not all about you, but this is a change your whole life will thirst for. The change God has set for you long before you were born.
Do you believe we all are capable of something? I do. Not that we are capable of something that makes us different or above everyone else. I don’t mean it like that. We are capable of something unique cause God’s kingdom is built with all the best in the world. Everyone has his own contribution to help in building the entire Kingdom.
I had a thought in my mind when I was young. I’ve thought about it every time and I didn’t notice it becoming my heart’s desire. When I do it, I find peace knowing that I did it for the Lord. I find satisfaction and I always dreamt of myself doing it even after life. Now it’s not just a thought anymore, it became my dream.
