When love wins over the cult: A sweet response from my OWE mom.

When love wins over the cult: A sweet response from my OWE mom.

Just wanted to share this wholesome interaction I had with my mom today.

For context, I used to be a very active member before I left. I even held a heavy duty responsiblity (may katungkulan) as a member of SCAN, so I know exactly how intense the mindset can get when it comes to "defending the church" or showing up for rallies.

Now, my mom is also a SCAN member. When I heard the news about the ongoing rallies, I was genuinely worried for her safety, especially since she's getting older and I'm currently far away from her and can't look after her myself.

I was honestly bracing myself for a defensive or typical OWE reply, but her response completely melted my heart. Despite everything, her love as a mother still came first. I’m just so grateful she chose to prioritize her health and safety today. ❤️

Sobrang natatakot ako para sa mom ko na senior citizen at SCAN member, lalo na sa balitang rally ngayon

Hi guys. Gusto ko lang sana mag-vent kasi hindi ko na talaga kaya i-keep to sa sarili ko. Sobrang bigat na sa dibdib at ubos na ubos na yung mental health ko.

Yung mom ko, matanda na siya, senior citizen na. Pero solid at die-hard OWE pa rin talaga siya hanggang ngayon. Ang mas nagpapadagdag sa stress ko, active member pa rin siya ng SCAN.
Sa totoo lang, naiiyak ako sa takot lalo na sa mga bali-balita ngayon. Paano kung magpatawag na naman ng biglaang rally o kilos-protesta ang pamamahala gaya ng nangyari sa EDSA noon? Alam naman nating lahat na kapag SCAN, sila talaga yung isasabak sa harap kapag may ganyang mobilization.

Iniiisip ko pa lang na mapapasabak siya sa init, siksikan, at puyatan sa lansangan, nadudurog na yung puso ko. Senior na siya, mahina na ang katawan niya para sa ganoon. Pero ang mas masakit, alam kong isang text lang sa kaniya na may "tupad" o kapag sinabing "ipinagtatanggol ang Iglesia," lundag agad siya nang walang pag-aalinlangan. Handa niyang i-sakripisyo yung sarili niyang kalusugan at kaligtasan para lang sumunod nang pikit-mata. Natatakot ako na magamit lang siya. Mommy ko yun eh, nag-aalala lang naman ako bilang anak.

May nararamdaman o naririnig na ba kayo sa mga lokal niyo kung may nilulutong mobilization? At sa mga may magulang na OWE o SCAN din, pakiusap naman, paano niyo sila pinoprotektahan? Paano niyo sila pinipigilan nang hindi kayo nauuwi sa malalang away-pamilya?

Hey everyone!
I just recently moved back here to Calapan after being away for 12 years. Sobrang dami nang nagbago, and honestly, I’m still re-adjusting sa area and looking to meet new people.

Baka may mga walking clubs, fitness groups, or kahit small circles dito na pwedeng masalihan? I’m planning to start a more active lifestyle and want to hit the pavement para mag-papawis.

Ideally, looking for:
Walking buddies, sa City Plaza or near the Provincial Capitol/Plaza del Gobernador
Morning or late afternoon sessions, para hindi masyadong matindi ang sikat ng araw
• Just chill vibes, looking to stay fit while catching up on what’s new sa Calapan

If you’re part of a group or just someone looking for a walking partner rin, please comment below or shoot me a DM. Game rin ako for occasional gym sessions or weekend hikes if may recommendations kayo. Salamat🙏🏿
