Tila pasimpleng bumoses si award-winning actor John Arcilla kaugnay sa panukalang batas na naglalayong panagutin ang mga anak na aabandona sa matanda o may-sakit nang magulang.

Sa latest Facebook post ni John nitong Miyerkules, Hulyo 16, sinabi niyang naguguluhan at namamangha raw siya tuwing napag-uusapan ang tungkol sa obligasyon sa magulang.
“We don’t use the word ‘obligation’ when it comes to family. We take care of whoever needs it the most—just like they took care of us when we knew nothing about this world while growing up. Now it’s our turn as they slowly drift away. It’s the cycle of life. Family takes care of each other,” saad ni John.
‘Totoo na!’ Kiray Celis, kinasal na!
Dagdag pa niya, “It even feels cringey to treat it like an issue or a responsibility. Looking after one another, in whatever way we can, is simply the nature of family. Whether we’re poor or wealthy, we share what we have—we take care of each other because that’s what family does.”
Matatandaang ipinaliwanag na rin noon ni John na hindi naman daw talaga utang na loob o obligasyon ang pagtulong ng isang anak sa tumatanda nitong magulang kundi “normal” at “natural duty.”
