Noong ako ay nagbakasyon noong 2022, habang binigyan nila ako ng welcome party, may lumapit sa amin ma bibili ba daw kami ng bangka ? Pinuntahan namin ito at gusto ko sana. Ngunit hindi namin nabili ang mahal nf presyo nito. Mukhang maganda , matibay at bago pa. Hindi yata ito nagagamit masyado.
Ibebenta daw nila dahil may sakit ang asawa niya. Kailangan ng pera at may mga bata na nag-aaral pa. Kahit daw itong bangka ay katuwang nila sa buhay, bukang isipan at puso alang-alang sa asawa mailigtas lang siya. Ito raw ang ginagamit niya sa araw-araw na pangingisda at mgkarga ng mga produkto papunta sa kabilang isla.
Sabi ko humanap ng ibang paraan, lalapit sa pamahalaan, ang bangka ay kapaki pakinabang sa pag-aaral ng mga anak at pagbili ng mga pagkain pang araw -araw.
Sa isip ko kahit may pera pa ako, ayokong bilhin para maghanap sila ng ibang paraan huwag lang isuko ang pagbenta sa isang bagay na kanila bumubuhay.
Naawa ako pero wala din akong pera itulong na malaki. Ngunit binigyan namin siya ng pera para makapunta sa siyudad at makahingi ng tulong sa gobernador ng probinsiya. Pagkalipas ng araw, aming nabalitaan na natulongan ang kanyang asawa sa pagpagamot ngunit hindi na kaya ang sakit. Iniwan na sila ng ina ng tahanan. Namatay ang kanyang asawa.
Mabuti nalang hindi naibenta ang bangka. Malaking tuwa ng matanda sa mga payo ko nagsimula ang lakas upang maging matapang na humarap sa kinaukolan ng pamahalaan. Nagpasalamat sila sa payo ko doon sa pamilya ko . Hindi na nila ako nakita, ako ay bumalik Saudi na.

When I was on vacation in 2022, while they were giving me a welcome party, someone came up to us and asked if we could buy a boat? We went to see it and I really wanted it. But we couldn't buy it because of its high price. It looked nice, sturdy and new. It didn't seem to be used much.
They said they were selling it because his wife was sick. They needed money and they had children who were still studying. Even though this boat was their life partner, they were open-minded and give up the boat for the sake of his wife, so she could be saved. They said it was what they used for daily fishing and carrying products to the other island.
I said they should find another way to approach the government, the boat is useful for their children's education and buying daily food. It was a source of their income. If they sell it, they couldn't buy again.
I thought to myself, even if I had money, I didn't want to buy it so they could find another way, just don't give up selling something that makes them live.
I felt sorry for them but I also didn't have much money to help them. But I gave him money to go to the city and ask for help from the provincial governor. A day later, we heard that his wife had been helped with treatment but was no longer able to bear the pain. The mother had left them. His wife died.
It was a good thing the boat had not been sold. The old man was happy with my advice and began to gain the strength to face the government's demands with my advice. He sent gratitude to my family . They don't see me anymore. I returned back in Saudi.
