Lady Netizen on Giving Back to Those Who Helped During Tough Times “balikan mo yung mga taong nagpagaan ng sitwasyon mo”
A lady netizen recently went viral after sharing her thoughts on showing gratitude to those who helped you during tough times.
Recently, Cristine Jay Cañete Peje, a Facebook user, shared her experience and beliefs about paying back the kindness she received when life was hard. The post quickly circulated online and elicited comments from the netizens.
Peje shared how, during the lockdown, a generous friend would randomly send her money, sometimes P500, sometimes P1,000, along with a message asking if she had received it. This friend even surprised her with a larger amount one time, saying it was for her small business.
At a time when Cristine and her partner, RJ, were struggling, these small acts of kindness made a huge difference.
Now that things are better for Cristine, she couldn’t help but feel sad hearing about the challenges her kind-hearted friend is currently facing. The person who used to help everyone now seems to have no one to lean on.
Cristine feels a deep sense of responsibility, knowing how much her friend gave without expecting anything in return.
One evening, while out shopping, Cristine remembered her friend’s situation. The thought weighed on her, so she decided to give back even just enough to help her friend treat herself or cover some small expenses.
The lady netizen believes it’s her way of showing gratitude and making sure her friend knows she’s not forgotten.
Cristine encourages others to repay debts or offer support to those who helped you when you needed it most. Even if they never asked for anything in return, showing appreciation can make a big difference in their lives.
She emphasizes that acts of kindness have a way of coming back to you, often in unexpected ways.
