Tinambac Councilor Jonas Soltes says vlogger Donnalyn Bartolome has a point

Tinambac Councilor Jonas Soltes weighed in on the controversy over the post of vlogger Donnalyn Bartolome who said people should be happy they have a job instead of complaining about returning to work after the holidays.

In a Facebook post, Soltes said Bartolome has a point because people need to value the fact that they have a job, especially during these times when many people are looking for work.

He siad Bartolome may have just failed to explore the reasons why some people are dreading returning to work after the long holidays.

Not all of these people are lazy or don’t value their job; some are just anxious about being separated from their loved ones after finally being able to spend time with them, he said.

Bartolome, after being bashed online, has since apologized for her post.

But at least Soltes understood the point she was trying to make!

“May punto naman si Donnalyn. Blessing ang pagkakaroon ng trabaho kaya dapat natin itong pahalagahan, considering na marami ang naghahanap ng trabaho kaya maswerte ang mga meron.

Siguro, nagkulang lang si Ate sa pag-explore sa mga reasons kung bakit wala pang ganang bumalik sa trabaho yung iba pakatapos ng mahabang holidays.

Hindi naman kasi katamaran o kawalang pagpapahalaga sa work ang tanging dahilan ng iba kaya ‘di pa sila excited bumalik sa trabaho.

May separation anxiety lang talaga ang iba sa kanila sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay. Yung ayaw pa nilang mawalay muna sa kanilang mga anak, mga magulang, mga kapatid, at iba pang mga mahal sa buhay dahil ang nakaraang Pasko lang ang naging panahon na makapiling nila ang loved ones sa buong taong subsob sila sa trabaho dahil kailangan at wala silang choice,” Soltes posted.
