Viral ngayon ang Facebook post ng isang netizen na nagngangalang "Romano Uy" matapos niyang ibahagi ang kaniyang mga litrato kung saan makikitang basang-basa ng pawis ang kaniyang damit matapos mag-commute pauwi mula sa kaniyang pinapasukang trabaho.
Mababasa sa caption, "Commuting is bad, but its even worse for people like me na pawisin grrrrrrrr ðŸ˜."
'Iconic women!' Pinakamalaki at pinakamaliit na babae sa buong mundo, nagkita!
Kalakip ng kaniyang post ang dalawang larawan, "resibo" ng tila pinagdaanang "pakikibaka" sa lansangan, na maaaring halos araw-araw niyang pinagdaraanan bilang isang commuter.
Umani naman ito ng iba't ibang reaksiyon at komento mula sa netizens na mukhang "relate-much" sa kaniya.
"Relate-much kay kuya! Pero bakit hindi ako ganyan ka-fresh kahit pawisan?"
"Ako di pa nakakaalis ng bahay, basa na sa pawis yung damit ko 🥴🥴 intense parati and worst pasmado pa kamay at paa🤣."
"Yung worst, kaliligo mo lang pero pawis na kaagad."
"Same Zer, pero ako nag-iinner wear (sando) ako para ayun muna mag-absorb ng pawis ko."
"Yes na Yes! It's more INIT in the Philippines na talaga. SKL ha, haha relate na relate ako d'yan kasi aalis ka ng bahay na ayos na ayos, bagong ligo at lahat. Tapos dahil sa sa init, pila, pag-aantay at pag-commute makakarating ka sa trabaho/opisina/school na pawisan. Kaya note to self talaga; magdala ng extra damit at maghalf-bath sa trabaho pagdating. Pawisin din po ako haha skl."
"Yung damit ko after maglakad papasok ng office, pwede na pigain."
"All of us can relate to this and it is part of our daily lives."
Ayon sa eksklusibong panayam ng Balita kay Uy, siya ay nakatira sa Sta. Mesa, Maynila at isang English Teacher sa isang pribadong institusyon.
Isinalaysay niya ang kuwento sa likod ng kaniyang viral post. Aniya, sanay naman siya sa pag-commute subalit iba lang talaga ang klima ng mga sandaling iyon, nakadagdag pa ang mabigat na daloy ng trapiko. Isa pa, nakadagdag din ang dagsa ng mga kapwa niya mananakay.
"It was last friday, April 14, 2023. I got off work at around 8:00 pm. I walked towards the corner of Morayta ang Recto as I waited for a PUJ for about 30 minutes. Standing for a long time, I began sweating. Lahat puno, although madami ang jeepneys, but still, all were packed. So I think nakasakay na ako by 8:30pm."
"From San Sebastian College to Mendiola, the traffic was so bad. It was such a busy day for jeepneys. May hangin naman talaga sana sa jeep, but that night, wala. Kase bumper to bumper ang traffic. This even added more to the sweat. After passing Mendiola, it was Legarda's time to contribute to my sweating."
"As we near the flyover to Pureza, there was not even a breeze at all. After the flyover, may hangin, pero super kaunti lang. Pero dahil ginagawa ang kalsada sa may Altura, extended ang traffic to Pureza. Unfortunately, extended ang sweating time. I think it was already past 9:00 nung bumaba ako sa may Pureza LRT station."
"There I waited for my 2nd jeep. Waiting time was shorter, but the sweating didn't stop at all. Pagsakay ko sa jeep, marami pa rin tao and siksikan sa loob, more heat, more sweat. Nakababa ako sa Teresa by around 9:30pm and I looked for dinner since I haven't had dinner yet."
"That also contributed to my sweating since iba pa ang pinagbilhan ng ulam at kanin. And when I got to my apartment, it waz already past 10:00pm. I put my backpack down and felt all the sweat behind me just dripping."
"And I decided to take a picture of myself since it was just too much sweating for a day," kuwento ni Uy sa Balita.
Bilang isang commuter ay nagbigay siya ng ilang "insights" kung paanong mas mapapaunlad pa ang public transportation system sa bansa.
"The very essence of commuting is to arrive to one's destination at a given time. Unfortunately that's not what we all experience. Oftentimes, we get late. If we could have a more systematic transportation scheme, maybe we could help commuters arrive on time."
"Second is security. Commuters should not be afraid to commute and feel threatened by snatchers, or any untoward incident that's related to putting a commuter's life at risk."
"Lastly, firmer implementation of laws from LGUs that wouldn't cause more confusion to commuters. Collaborating and contributing to the bigger picture of the crisis in our transport systems. By addressing realistic problems first, than formulating idealistic solutions."
Habang isinusulat ang artikulong ito ay umabot na sa 24k shares, 14k reactions, at 1.5k comments ang naturang viral post ni Uy.
