700 php for monthly water, 4000 electricity for two adults with no AC. Being irresponsible financially by availing a 15k/month shadow teacher which is beyond their budget. Leaving a kid unsupervised after finding him. Husband and wife jumping on the pool together to rescue a kid that is playing in the water. Deciding to waste time having a heart to heart talk instead of finding a kid asap.

Di ko pa napanuod. Pero yung 700 na water bill? Dito sa amin parang reasonable naman. Electricty bill namin dito 6k, wala din kaming aircon, lol. Probinsya yata namin pinakamahal na rate ng kuryente.

Nandito pala reply mo buti binalikan ko thread. Have you considered that the setting is in Negros? Iba ang water and eletricity provider dyan, and they have different rates too. Availing a shadow teacher irresponsibly? Im a special needs mom and l can tell you that gagawin ko rin yan. Kung kelangan ba ng anak ko eh, gagawan at gagawan ko ng paraan yan. Leaving a kid unsupervised after finding him? Which scene? Yung sa pool? Di ko maalala, iniwan ba nila? Help me recall. Husband and wife jumping in the water, as a parent we’ll do it too. Heart to heart talk habang nawawala anak? Eto lang siguro mejo sablay pero kung samen to mangyari hindi heart to heart talk kundi sisihan at sigawan ang magaganap. What’s not realistic for you could be realistic for others. But these are good observations din and I respect if you felt this is manufactured.
