God created our mothers in his own image made to be like him. God did not design them to be desolated nor even planned to become a failure in life. But, rather, the Lord Almighty created our moms for his wonderful plan. We ought to realize that God never destined any woman to be poor, lonely, dominated, abused, maltreated, manipulated, shamed or stepped on.
Yet it's so pitiful to see countless numbers of mothers being abandoned by their own children into various old age institutions not even realizing how their moms had carefully and patiently reared them in nine months inside their wombs and nurtured them to become a better person.
How distressing to imagine that numerous of moms whose bodies are greatly perspiring under the sun and shivering due to their extreme hunger for food and love while earnestly begging for a penny along the pavements or at the street corners.
How sad to chance upon several moms who seriously and meticulously seek their foods along the garbage. How depressing to hear reports about many moms who had committed suicide after they can no longer endure their unbearable problems and terrible life experiences.
According to a study of Woman's Center Resources (CWR), a research and education institute, every hour, a woman or child is maltreated at home and nine women are raped daily in the Philippines.
A world health study also reveals that one mom dies for every 1,000 mothers who gave birth.
Truly, words are inadequate to pay tribute for our moms for their nobilities are beyond compare! To cite as an example, the Filipinos continue to salute Teodora Alonzo who bore Dr. Jose P.Rizal, the Philippine National Hero. She was the first teacher of Dr. Jose Rizal. As mother and teacher of our national hero, she molded his spirit and thoughts. When Jose Rizal grew up, he stood for the principles and lessons learned from his mother.
Teodora was persecuted by the Spanish authorities for being the mother of the reformist Jose P. Rizal. She was offered pension by the US government, yet, she uttered,"The Rizals offer their lives to their mother country because of their inherit patriotism and not because of money"
