How i started my stay. |
YES!!! Yes because I spent 4 nights and 5 days sa isang
branch ng center namin na nag-sheshelter ng mga batang survivor ng sexually
abuse (we term it survivor dahil strength based tayo this time, that is
according to unicef)
Yes dahil patapos na ang aking practicum and I had the
opportunity na pumunta sa Malaybalay, Bukidnon dahil ang 5th case ko
is doon sya nashelter kaya I need to stay so I can conduct sessions and study sa
bata. Sa 3 months na I spent my days sa main center, talagang na-compressed ko
in 5 days doon, kulang na kulang yong oras talaga but yon lang kasi ang oras na
pwedi sakin because may subjects pa akong naiwan pero kung wala malamang 4
months magrequest akong don ako titira hahaha
Anyways, nakakastress man dahil yong case ko
|
This is my 2nd day. Bonding time in the pineapple plantation. |
|
is medyo
different from the usual case I had such as yong sibling and incest case. Ito is
quite different dahil sabi ng social worker sa center (supervisor ko),
kailangan ko i-dig ang kaso ng bata then she said “this is your 5th
case, this must be a tough one so it fits for you” naahh!! When I read it,
boom!! Yes it’s different talaga kasi the incident happened 2 years ago, that
is according to the child but there’s more than that when I discovered it nong
nagpapamedico legal na kami. Isipin mong 3 hours kami sa women’s desk. Iyak dito,
iyak doon, hawak sa upuan sabay pasok ung ulo don sa ilalim ng upuan. Ayaw niya
magpapamedico legal. We respect that of course but if walang medico legal kasi
walang case na mafifile so maiwang Malaya yong taong nag-aabuse nong bata.
|
School visit. We fetched them also after our appointment. |
The child is responsive sa mga tanong ng doctor pero once
magsstart na yong papahiga na sya biglang nalulugmok na naman sya and started
to cry out loud and telling us that “ayoko, ayoko because ang dami ng
nakakakita nakakahiya na” okay, again we respect that and everybody decided to
leave the room pero wala pa ren its almost 5:30 in the afternoon and we failed
na mapamedico legal yong bata.
|
kids loves picture taking. sorry i covered their face bawal kasi. |
Pero after 3 days I think, na convince rin namin siya for
medico legal and this time we’re hoping na it’s real na talaga. Tinupad naman
niya pero half lang ang nakita kasi yong other half eh hindi pwedi mahawakan or
ma-open lalo kasi daw super sakit. Sabi ng doctor, hindi nalang ipilit total
kahit incomplete daw eh positive naman daw yong bata na na-abuse at pwedi na
daw magfile ng case. But then, yong discovery ko about the kid mas lumalim ng
lumalim kaya sabi ko talaga sa social worker naming sa center na puntahan ko
sya sa bukidnon so I can spend time with her and maintindihan ko yong running
case niya. Pero nalaman ko din na hindi na-file yong case dahil minor yong
lalaki (CICL) naakkk!! Naman!! Pwedi bang ibalik ang death penalty!? So ano
ito? Aantayin yong lalaki na darating sa tamang edad saka i-aarrest? But the
minor (abuser) will go to a diversion program ata something basta ang alam ko
now, walang case na na-file, so ibig sabihin non pagala-gala pa rin yong
lalaki.
|
This what i do after our appointment in the city. Stress reliever. |
Staying sa center for 4 nights and 5 days, ang dami kong
natutunan sa mga bata. I was also amazed doon sa time we spent na nag-gather
kami ng mga woods at twigs, we all have our small talks, sabi nila they used to
gather woods and sell it as well as they know pano mapa-amo yong cow at carabao
pero natuwa talaga ako don sa part na pauwi na kami at yong isang bata kumuha
ng itak with all the feelings na tinadtad yong katawan ng gemilina tree and
sabi nong isang bata “HOY! Bakit mo yan tinadtad!” ang sagot ng bata “kasi
sinugatan niya yong paa ko!” hahaha yong kasama kong intern napaupo kakatawa
kasi naisip pa yon ng bata lol well it was really fun to be with them kaso
kulang talaga sa time, we’re just looking forward to see them all here sa cdo sa
upcoming family day ng mga bata where their family and social workers will come
to visit and spend time with them.
So back with my case again, ibang iba siya sa center sa
panahon na magkasama kami sa hospital dahil mas nakita ko yong pagiging makulit
niya at maingay sa lahat ng bagay, magaling din siyang kumanta at sumayaw. Sabi
ko nga sa kanya na sa last night naming sumayaw siya, sinagot niya ako “wala
akong damit, wala akong bracelets at hanky” part kasi siya ng indigenous group
kaya ganon nalang, specific siya. Hahaha
|
A time to gather woods and twigs for bone fire. |
So much for that, madami man paperworks sa center, dami ko
man iniisip, all the pictures na makikita niyo is yon ang time we tried to
compressed it maspend sa mga bata. We also went to their school para Makita kung
ano ba sila kapag nasa skwelahan, they are really proud and sikat na sikat sila
sa school nila dahil at that time we brought a camera with us so we took
pictures and everybody is looking at them. Doon naman sa pinya plantation,
marunong na marunong silang mag-identify ng matamis na pinya they also taught
me how to get a pinya, yong kailangan mo pang ikotin yong buong pinya para
makuha mo sya don sa crown niya. At ang best part sa stay namin is yong family
night namin na gumawa ako ng “bannock” na i-wwrap sa hotdog. They’re only seven
sa center ng bukidnon kaya na-afford namin ng co-intern kong sagotin ang hotdog
at bannock hahahaha hindi kasi naming carry sa main center dahil there are 20
of them. So yon ang adventure ko sa Malaybalay Bukidnon sa 4 nights and 5 days.
And oo nga pala, paguwi ko, lagnat inabot ko dahil sa weather doon, isipin mo
nalang yong cold water na iniinom natin galing ng fridge natin yon lang ang
normal na lamig ng tubig kapag naliligo ka. Hahaha halos hindi nga ako
nakakainom ng water don most of the time I had 4 cups of coffee a day. wooott!!
Hahahaha
|
This the finale. Last night in the center. |
So ito lang muna, I will be very busy in the next 2 to 3
weeks kasi I have deadline ng october 12 at family day ng october 11 so still we’re
looking for benefactors to help us build a study area for the girls in the
center so they will start to build their dreams too and believe that there will
always a dream waiting for them. You and I can be a part of the child’s dream. God
bless everyone!! Happy blogging. Woootttt!!! Pakkk-parak-pak!! Hehehehe
Woot!? ang saya saya naman ehehehe!
