TATLONG dekada ng buhay ni Mang Arnulfo Sufrir ay iginugugol niya sa pagtitinda ng taho sa lansangan kada araw.
Ito ang masayang ikinuwento sa atin ni Arnulfo na kung tawagin ng kanyang mga suki ay Manong.
Kuwento ni Arnulfo na binata pa lamang siya ay nagtitinda na siya ng taho sa lansangan upang kumita dahil sa hirap ng buhay lalo na’t hindi naman siya nakatapos ng pag-aaral dahil sa elementarya lamang ang kanyang inabot.
Ayon kay Arnulfo, madaling araw pa lamang ay gising na siya dahil kailangan na niyang kumuha ng taho na ilalako sa ganap na ala-5 ng umaga hanggang alas-12 ng tanghali ubos man o hindi ang kanyang panindang taho ay agad itong umuuwi para magpahinga.
Sa kasalukuyan, 59-anyos na si Mang Arnulfo at binata pa lamang nang magsimulang magtinda ng taho na inaangkat nito sa Mandaluyong na kung saan ay mayroon silang 20 magtataho na humahango ng paninda sa namumuhunan sa kanila.
Aminado si Mang Arnulfo na sa halagang P600 na puhunan ng taho ay hindi nito kayang magsarili dahil sa kailangan pang bumili ng makinang panggiling ng soya na siyang pangunahing sangkap para sa paggawa ng taho na nagkakahalaga ng P30,000 bukod pa sa balde na siyang paglalagyan ng taho at mga sarsa at sago at pingga na nagkakahalaga ng humigit kumulang sa P3,000.
Kaya’t kahit mahirap at nakakapagod dahil sa buhat-buhat mo ang taho sa pamamagitan ng isang pingga at iniikot ang iba’t ibang lugar sa Makati umulan man o umaraw ay nakangiti pa rin sa mga pakoryano nito.
Gayundin, naikuwento ni Mang Arnulfo ang kanyang buhay pag-ibig kung saan ay nakilala nito ang kanyang asawa na isang mananahi sa isang canteen habang bumibili ng pagkain matapos ang kanyang pagtitinda at pag-eengreso.
Ikinasal si Mang Arnulfo sa asawang si Marites at binayayaan ng apat na anak subalit pumanaw na ang isa.
Nakapag-aral ng 2nd year college sa kursong computer science, samantalang ang isa naman ay 2nd year electrical engineering, at ang bunso niyang anak ay isa ring college undergraduate at kasalukuyan nang mayroong sariling pamilya.
Sa pagnanais sana niyang makapagtapos ang kanyang mga anak sa tulong na rin ng kanyang asawa na nagtatrabaho rin. Mas pinili ng kanyang mga anak na magtrabaho na lamang.
Ngunit dahil sa pandemya ay parehong nawalan ng trabaho ang kanyang dalawang anak at sa kasalukuyan ay naghahanap naman ng muling mapapasukang trabaho.
Gayunpaman, sa kabila nito ay nakaka-survive pa rin sila ng kanyang pamilya kahit na P600 kada isang araw ang pinakamalaking kita at kung minsan ay umaabot lamang sa P300 kada araw.
Katwiran pa ni Mang Arnulfo na mabuti pa daw na maghirap siyang magbuhat ng taho sa pagtitinda kumita lamang ng marangal kesa ang magnakaw at mamalimos lalo na’t malakas pa naman siya. CRISPIN RIZAL

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it
to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and
screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to
tell someone!
