Many Filipino families are just trying to make ends meet everyday and Christmas day is not exempted from those days, The most obvious manifestation of this is the absence of Christmas lights and Christmas decorations in people's homes and also I noticed that there were fewer Christmas lights and decorations along the streets and roads that I have to pass thru to and from work. Much of the businesses are open but have to downsized the numbers of people who are working from them. Many businesses are still suffering from the lockdowns due to the pandemic but still have to borrow heavily just to be able to give out 13th month pay to their remaining employees, but some businesses according to my fellow workers won't be able to give out 13th month or bonuses for their employees, I'm sad knowing this but what can I do? I'm just an ordinary employee too. So throwing away money for unnecessary things just like these pictures of political caravan feels scandalous while the rest of the country suffers in poverty. Captured these pictures last Dec. 8, 2021 Along Commonwealth Avenue Quezon City Philippines, It's Immaculate Conception holiday, I thought it was a nice day to ride my motorcycle going to work coz it's holiday and fewer vehicles are travelling, But was totally dissapointed when I reached the main road, A huge traffic jam caused by those political caravan and much causing these are their supporters who also brings their own vehicles, it was total chaos! Are these act necessary? or just a waste of money! I don't mind who are those people behind these but these was totally insane and simply outrageous from the people who are going to work on that day! Many people including me forced to walk just to reach and not to be late for work! Are these people behind these going to pay for those people who are not be able to reach their work on that day? I don't think so! Are these people are worthy for their much anticipated votes? I don't know either? I'm not against for those who wanted to run the government but against to those who are using a national road and other government stuff's for their political agenda. Anyways I do survive that day and reach work and came back home very tired and forgot my motorcycle that I have to parked in a gasoline station and pays the amount of php 150 for leaving it overnight. It was not okay that day but I'm looking forward the next day would be good enough to make ends meet.
