What should you do?

You see your younger sister

secretly get a 100-peso bill from your older
brother’s wallet. You know very well that
if you tell it to your brother, he will surely
beat your younger sister but if you will
not tell your older brother, your sister will
surely do the same thing again, and
worse she will make it a habit to steal.
But, you cannot dare to watch your
younger sister in pain and crying because
of you.
What happened?
Before the covid-19 pandemic, both your
parents were working, both of them had
good-paying job. You always have good
food to eat and they can afford to give
you 50.00
pesos load every week. However, due to
the pandemic your father and mother
work only three times a week thus their
pay become lesser. Instead of giving you
50.00 pesos for load per week, it becomes
Php50.00 for one month.
You shared it to your friend and
to your surprise, your friend also
shares the same situation with
you. His family is also struggling
these days because his mother
has become jobless. Then, you
realized that there are so many
people nowadays who struggle
financially.
What has just happened?
Your sister is an online confider. You know
what’s online confider? It is somebody who
makes social platforms like a diary. They
tell everything on social media. One day,
your sister posted something that stirred or
caused chaos among the kins. Some of your
aunties and cousins are getting angry of
your sister because of that post. When you
checked the post, it is really something
negative which you believe not to be
posted online. The post talks about
inferiority and discrimination.
