Ipinagmalaki ni ABS-CBN news anchor Karen Davila na ang anak niyang panganay na si David, 20 anyos, ay nakaboto na sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon.
"PROUD OF YOU DAVID 🙌🏼 What a milestone! David, now 20 years old voted for the first time 🇵🇭," saad ni Karen sa kaniyang Instagram post ngayong Mayo 10. Kalakip ng IG post ang litrato ng anak kung saan ibinibida nito ang daliring may indelible ink, hudyat na tapos na itong bumoto.
Si David ay may autism spectrum. Ibinahagi ni Karen ang istorya sa likod pg pagnanais ni David na makaboto.
"Let me share with you this story. A few weeks ago, David texted me and asked, 'Mom, am I registered to vote?' I was surprised that it mattered to him! Thank God, @djstaana registered him and he got very excited."
"DJ and I went thru sample ballots with David, explained to him what the candidates stood for and helped him with his list. Yesterday, he stood in line with his dad for 4 HOURS to VOTE 🇵🇭."
Kaya naman, masayang-masaya si Karen para sa anak na si David.
"As a mom of a special child, it makes me SO GRATEFUL and HAPPY that David is aware, concerned and very present in the moment! Kids in the Autism Spectrum can live better lives if parents intervene early! As a parent, this is the best gift we can give them! ❤️"
"Love you David ❤️ You make me so happy! Proud of you anak!" dagdag pa ng batikang journalist.
