Blood ties don’t justify parasitism. Aunts, uncles, cousins – listen up. Your constant begging ends now. We’re not your personal ATMs.
Remember when we campaigned for Leni Robredo? That wasn’t for us. It was for you, for a better Philippines. We fought to lift people out of poverty. But you? You’re still holding out your hands, believing in Duterte and Marcos’s empty promises.
You hover at family gatherings, eyes on wallets. Your smiles mask greed. We see through you. You call us “dilawan” or “pinklawan,” yet you’re quick to ask for our “yellow” or “pink” money.
”Just this once,” you plead. But it’s never once. It’s a bottomless pit of need. Of want. Of shameless taking. You praise your political idols for dole-outs, then turn to us for more.
Remember birthdays? Only when you need cash. Holidays? You bring empty hands and pro-Duterte rhetoric, but leave with full pockets. Enough.
You’re adults. Act like it. Find jobs. Budget. Live within your means. Stop eyeing our savings as your personal bailout fund while parroting propaganda about a “golden age.”
Your children aren’t our responsibility. Your debts aren’t our burden. Your poor choices – political or financial – aren’t our cross to bear.
We’ve enabled you for too long. Watched you squander “loans” on luxuries while claiming the country is prospering. Observed your refusal to work, to strive, to grow, all while praising a system that keeps you dependent.
You call us family when you need money. Where’s your “family spirit” when we need help moving? When we’re sick? When we celebrate milestones that don’t align with your political views?
Your entitlement stinks. It poisons reunions. It turns siblings against each other. It must end. Your blind political faith doesn’t pay bills – stop expecting us to.
We rallied in the streets for change. We volunteered our time for a better future. Meanwhile, you waited for handouts and “tallano gold.” That’s not what we fought for.
So here’s the new rule: No more handouts. No more “emergencies.” No more guilt trips. Stand on your own feet or fall. Your choice. Real “unity” starts with self-reliance.
We’ll love you. We’ll cheer your genuine efforts. But we won’t fund your laziness or your misguided political beliefs anymore. Family supports. It doesn’t subsidize delusions.
Wake up. Grow up. Step up. Or get out of our lives. Harsh? Maybe. Necessary? Absolutely. The leeching ends today. Be the change we campaigned for, not the problem we fought against.
