‘EVERYDAY WAS A STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE’

Ibinulgar ni Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo sa social media na na-diagnose siya ng depression at anxious distress noong 2025.

Sa isang social media post, ibinahagi ni Rabiya ang kanyang sitwasyon.

“I had my several rounds of medication. I left the country for 3 months so I won’t get triggered by people who have no idea what I’ve been going through,” aniya sa caption.

Kuwento pa ni Rabiya, umabot pa sa puntong ide-deactivate niya ang lahat at maglaho na lang para sa tahimik na pamumuhay, “I fought hard and still fighting up until now.”

Dagdag pa nito, ang nangyari kay Emman Atienza at ang iniwang sakit nito sa kanyang pamilya ang nasa likod ng ipinangako sa sarili na hindi siya susuko, “I don't want my Mama to experience the same thing.”

“You don’t know how little kindness mean to a depressed person like me and how your words can push me to do something else,” saad pa ni Rabiya.

‘Di mabilang na sakripisyo… Itay, ikaw ang bida ngayon!

ni Mabel Vieron @Lifestyle | June 16, 2024

Tatay, itay, ama, daddy, papi – saan man dako ng mundo, may iba't ibang paraan ng pagtawag sa ating mga ama. 

Sa bawat yugto ng buhay, ang mga tatay ay patuloy na nagsisilbing haligi ng ating pamilya – ang kanilang katatagan at pagmamahal ang nagbibigay inspirasyon para sa atin. Ang kanilang sakripisyo at pag-aalaga ay nagpapakita ng ‘di mabilang na pagmamahal at dedikasyon.

Tuwing sasapit ang Father's Day, mariin nating pinararangalan ang mga bayaning lalaki na nagiging tanglaw at gabay ng ating pamilya. 

Sila ang mga tagapagtanggol ng tahanan, handang humarap sa anumang hamon at magbigay ng wagas na pagmamahal sa bawat yugto ng buhay.

Sila ang nagturo sa atin ng kahalagahan ng pagmamahal, katuwiran, at pagiging matatag sa gitna ng mga pagsubok. Hindi lamang sila mga guro, kundi modelo rin ng kagitingan at kabutihan.

Ang mga tatay ay nagiging tagapakinig, tagasuporta, at tagapayo sa bawat miyembro ng pamilya. 

Ang kanilang mga payak na gawa ng pagmamahal tulad ng pagtulong, pagpapayo, at simpleng pagpaparamdam ng pagmamahal ay nagpapatibay sa samahan ng pamilya.

Hindi sapat ang mga salita upang ilarawan ang kahalagahan at kabutihan ng mga tatay sa ating mga buhay. 

Sa kanilang mga simpleng ngiti, yakap, at pagmamahal, sila ay patuloy na nagpaparamdam sa atin ng kaginhawaan at kaligayahan.

Ngayong Father’s Day, ating ipakita ang ating pasasalamat at pagmamahal sa mga lalaking ito na patuloy na nag-aalaga at nagmamahal sa atin. 

Sila ang mga tunay na tagapagtanggol ng pamilya na hindi nag-aatubiling ibigay ang lahat para sa ating kaligayahan at kaligtasan.

Ngayong araw nila, tunay na karapat-dapat nilang tanggapin ang pinakamataas na pagpapahalaga at pagkilala mula sa kanilang mga anak. 

Sa bawat pagkakataon, dapat nating ipakita ang ating pasasalamat at pagmamahal sa kanilang walang-sawang pag-aalaga at sakripisyo.

To all the fathers out there, thank you. Thank you for your sacrifices, guidance, and unconditional love. Kayo ang mga tunay na bayani ng aming buhay. Happy Father's Day!
