Did you know that there is an ordinance about repecting the senior citizens in Cebu City? I was riding a jeepney earlier when I saw a yellow sticker with this ordinance which reminded me of the guy I rode a jeepney with last Friday. See the patron saint of Cebu is the Holy Child Jesus known to the Catholics in the Philippines as Sto. Nino (pronounced as nin-yo) and people would usually come to worship him in the Sto. Nino Church in Colon. So every Friday, a lot of people would ride the jeep to Colon. Especially now that the Novena for the Sto. Nino has started, a lot of senior citizens who are devotees of the child Jesus would really make an effort to go to the church. So the jeepney is almost full when he boarded. When he came on board he arrogantly said “move” to the people who were already in the jeepney. Now one of the passengers who was an old man replied “why are you the commander here?” and the man who just rode the jeep said something in reply. I was so freaking furious with the guy, I guess everyone in the jeepney felt the same way. Like haller! Respect for elder people duh, like didn’t anyone taught you that? I just raised my brows and almost said who do you think you are? Who are you to command people? If you are a paying passenger, so are we. Duh! Anyhow, nobody moved to give way. I guess it was to show their disgust to the guy. He was completely ignored. Haller! If you would do that to strangers all you will get is hostility. They will never give you what you want. But if he could have asked more politely like saying could you please move for my legs are painful so I can’t go any further instead of shouting “move”, he could have gotten a better response. Anyway, if he saw the sticker would it affect him in anyway? Does he know that there is an ordinance like this? If he knew about it, would he act differently?
