OF THE WEEK
WALKING STORE
These two teenaged
vendors in La Trinidad, Benguet, some 250 kms north of Manila, don’t seem
to mind the weight of their wares, even as they are to carry these all the
way to Baguio City four kilometers away where they would be making the
rounds of the households in search of prospective buyers. The baskets,
made of rattan and bamboo ribs, don’t look heavy when looked at one by
one, but try carrying all these all at once. This attitude of theirs
reflects the Filipinos’ well-known ability to keep smiling even in the
face of seemingly insurmountable problems. It is probably this disposition
of the Filipinos that enable them to keep going as they strive to weather
the hardest of times.
