Dignity in Poverty
(the way of Saturnino Fabros)
by: Apolinario B. Villalobos
Self-respect…..self-esteem
Poise…. pride….
All these, we have in us
But can we hold on to them
When our family miss not only one
But all meals in a day sometimes?
Can we hold on to them
As sometimes we just stay home
Instead of reporting to work
When even loose change for fare
We have none?
Can we hold on to them
As we see our family
Sit it out at night
Not a wink of sleep
Due to the roof that leaks?
Can we hold on to them
As we see our children
Clad in tattered clothes
Barefooted as they play around
Or trod the muddy road?
Can we hold on to them
When we are berated by others
Who felt or thought to be slighted
As we do our job –
With all sincerity and honesty?
Temptation is always there –
Ready to delightedly push us
Towards the verge of misdeed
Making us just remorseful later
Blaming ourselves without end.
Poverty has been part of life
Not everybody can be rich
Contentment then of what we have
Should be the norm, nobody to blame
Just feel dignified …most of all –strive!
Saturnino Fabros
… humility personified
By: Apolinario B. Villalobos
When God created man and woman
Perfection was in His mind;
In His image they were molded
But what happened in Paradise
Was unfortunate, for it proved –
His creations were weak;
He could have asked Himself
How he could have failed.
Just like Adam and Eve
Who, with virtues were created
Around each of us lurks temptation
And it’s up to us how to resist it
Which is just waiting to embrace
The weak who may finally give way
To uncontrolled desire to burst
Into uncalled for action he could vent.
Humility is difficult to live out
As pride always gets in the way
But not for Saturnino Fabros
Who stood tall despite humiliations –
Blows, berating and all
From Carabuena brothers –
Traffic rules violators.
His lean body unmoving
And eyes fixed on Robert Carabuena
Who shouted at him with all his might
All these Fabros took with all humility…
Admirable, indeed, as many later saw on TV;
Pride of Metro Manila Development Authority
Saturnino Fabros is one great guy to admire –
A true Filipino… he personified humility!
