I just resigned: Tips on the best months to resign.
“I’m broke, depressed and got no one to turn to!†This was the first text message I received from a close friend last night. “Where are you? You should be comforting me right now.†Hmmm… this one’s really important and guess what, he seems to be so demanding now… J .. Why he should not be when one needs comfort so desperately and got no one to turn to except me? 11 pm? What the… Anyway, I offered him a place to hang out with which happens to be my place and offered him a drink. Just a reminder, I’m no counselor or whatsoever. But, I’ve already accommodated some yuppies in my schedule just to be their mentor? I doubt if I’m qualified though worth the try and practice lolz…
So what’s his story?
Simple, he just resigned. Actually, I find it very stupid to resign during this month. December has been the most glorious days to employees especially if you’re a regular employee. Of course, some project based employee would also get their share during this month. Aside from getting your 13th month pay, they’ll also get some freebies from you’re employers that includes stuffs for your holiday season. On top of that, some companies would also offer bonuses (1 – 2 months bonus – I miss this one from my previous employer) to its regular employees if the company is performing well. Others are also giving gift certificates to their employees aside from those bonuses they’ve received from their employers. And don’t forget, a lavish Christmas party if your not into cost cutting.
BARANGAY DEFENSE SYSTEM (BDS): STATE GARRISONS IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
On the Occasion of the International Human Rights Day
Vibrant life has been lost in the countryside especially in the far-flung barrios in the Province of Sorsogon. It is no longer a place of KASANGGAYAHAN (place of abundance and peace) but rather state garrisons where military rules the life of the people. Military posts have been installed in the barangays; the movement of the folks are regulated and made to log their whereabouts in the journal of the post. People who enter and leave the area are obliged to give their names and their purpose. Dangerously, the civilians particularly the women (mothers usually bring their siblings in the barrios because they do not have “yayasâ€) and youth are made to watch the military posts. There are even measures to regulate the supplies coming in the barrios such as limiting the rice purchase to 5 kilos only, more than that is not allowed and would mean supporting the rebels. At times, curfew is implemented in the area; hitherto the economic and social life of the people is affected, not disregarding the political straightjacket that tightens the barrio atmosphere. Members of progressive organizations like Bayan, Bayan Muna, Gabriela, Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas are subjected to intensive surveillance and threatened to cease their activism if they hold their lives precious or their loved ones. Even the traditional civic organizations are asked to disclose their members, the nature of the organization and the source of fund. Fear and suspicion envelop the once tranquil life of the people.
