Parents were invited to attend a moving-up ceremony to witness their children’s achievements but one of the graduates father was being judged as “pasikat” because of wearing his military uniform to the ceremony.
A Facebook user named Rashian Erica Dematera – whose father is a soldier- couldn’t help but defend her father from harsh comments due to wearing his uniform in attending the ceremony, with one even saying that he was just being “pasikat.”
Dematera wrote, “Para sa lahat ng nagtatanong kung bakit naka-uniform pangsundalo si papa nung moving up ko at sa isang tao na nagsabi na pasikat ako.”
In Dematera’s post, she explained that her father just finished his duty in Nueva Ecija and traveled just to attend her moving-up ceremony.
“Para sabihin ko sa inyo na galing sa duty si papa at galing pa siya sa Nueva Ecija para lang makapunta sa moving up ko,” she added.
She also shared that even though her father was so tired, he still gave his time and effort just to attend her special day and did not even think of changing his clothes.
“Hindi na siya nagpalit ng damit dahil pagod siya.”
Dematera was deeply hurt, that despite her being proud and happy of her father’s effort, there were harsh comments she heard during the ceremony.
“Kung makasabi ka ate girl ng pasikat akala mo yata hindi kita narinig. Buti nga iyong papa ko gumagawa ng paraan para makapunta kahit na busy siya.”
His father didn’t have the intention of showing off for being a soldier but to show his love for her daughter.
Dematera said, “‘Di iyon pagpapasikat, pagpapakita iyon ng pagmamahal ng isang ama, na kahit gaano siya ka-busy na protektahan ang bayan handa pa rin siyang maglaan ng oras sa anak at pamilya niya.”
Her post went viral as it garnered over 28,000 shares and 197,000 reactions as she also found support from netizens.
