Responsibility
I was riding the bus last Sunday and like always, if there is an available sit, I chose to sit by the window so I can watch outside. It was raining that day but I noticed a street sweeper was still busy doing her job. Questions came to my mind.
Do we really need that many street sweepers to clean our streets? Here’s the logic to the question.
If people are responsible enough to throw their candy wrappers, cigarette butts, plastics, papers, etc. on provided garbage bags or cans, do these street sweepers be on the streets even if it is raining? That in order to earn a measly income not even enough to buy medications, they are risking their health?
As Filipinos, should we not be ashamed of our actions, throwing our garbage anywhere?
Should the people in the government be proud to say they’ve lessened unemployment rate when the only job they can provide for the many unemployed Filipinos is street sweeping?
