Elizabeth Oropesa's calls for fair treatment in helping the poor

Acclaimed actress Elizabeth Oropesa shared her thoughts and disappointment on the perks received by the privileged in comparison to the marginalized citizens of the Philippines.

On Facebook, she said, “It is unfortunate that we chose to help people who were given many opportunities to have a good life, nagkapera, sikat pero winaldas, nag drugs, alcohol at iba pang bisyo.

“Samantalang 'yung mga pobre na masisipag, mahal ang pamilya, mababait, at walang bisyo pero naghihirap ngayon ng husto dahil walang hanapbuhay ay madalas hindi nakatatangap ng tulong dahil hindi kilala ang pangalan. Walang publicity.”

Bewildered, she asked her fans, “Bakit ganun?”

Elizabeth argued that the privileged tend to abuse the blessings they received in their lifetime, which led her to conclude, “Life is not fair.”

She added that she feels pity towards the oppressed and the poor, especially during this time of the pandemic.

“Wala lang. Naawa lang ako sa mga dapat matulungan na hindi natutulungan.

“Sana bigyan naman ng halaga ng mga may pangalang tao ang mga tulong na ibinibigay sa kanila. Ang swerte nila!

“At sana, medyo bigyan na ng priority ng mga matulugin na magbigay ng tulong sa mga mas karapatdapat.”

Like most things, Elizabeth said to take her sentiments with a grain of salt.

After all, she concluded, “Personal ko pong opinion ito. Sharing it with you. God Bless everyone.”
