By Amiel Aguilar Cabanlig
As a Deist, I used to argue with friends over this Benjamin Franklin saying that “God helps only those who help themselves”. In case you’re wondering, a Deist is one who believes that supreme being does not involve itself in human affairs. No matter how “unchristian” it may sound, I believe in it… some how? Take the case of a compulsive LIAR. What good would it do for God to show the con-artist the path of truth? Perchance, when a guy is hell-bent on ruining his own life in such a fashion, the best help we can give is simply to let him do what he wants, and hope he learns his lesson someday!
I might be writing this article out of frustration so please bear with me…
One thing good about Ferdinand Marcos’ “new society” is the creation of the anti-mendicancy law. The law defines a mendicant as "any person who has no visible and legal means of support, or lawful employment and who is physically able to work but neglects to apply himself to some lawful calling and instead uses begging as a means of living" (Section 3, Par. 3, PD 1563). Mendicants have a criminal liability (Section 5). To top it all, abetting mendicancy also has its punishment.
For those who lived during the 70’s, begging used to be the very last resort. But now mendicancy has become an accepted way of life for some, and a substitute for uphill struggle. Beggars have become a traffic nuisance, poking and prodding motorists to take pity on them. Near where I live in Pasig Ultra, what used to be my only sanctuary for peace and tranquility was transformed into an evacuation center for typhoon victims. Weeks after the typhoon, when the sun was shining vibrantly, I saw physically able evacuees’ lugubriously sitting, waiting and doing nothing until for the next batch of Red Cross donations arrive.
Our culture of mendicancy comes to us in many forms and sizes!
My former UP professor Behn Cervantes wrote that self-serving politicians have long realized that the have-nots are taught to believe they are dependent on the generosity of the haves, who take advantage of this by practicing a culture of patronage. Thus, they wield power over the have-nots through another Filipino phenomenon, the utang na loob or debt of gratitude. TV shows like Wowoweee perpetuates another kind mendicancy, the dole-out mentality. The underprivileged pins their hopes on a game of chance and gamble money in hopes that luck will someday smile on them.The eight million Filipinos living abroad has also fashioned a new-fangled form of mendicancy. The Philippines is the largest recipient of foreign exchange inflows from overseas workers, who mostly reside in the US, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and United Arab Emirates. A study commissioned by the International Monetary Fund said that the inflow of money by workers abroad creates a moral hazard; there is danger that the recipient will become dependent on his or her working kin abroad. Instead of contributing to the family upkeep, some members, even those of the appropriate age, lose their incentive to work and begin to regard the money as a right. We have created an alarming culture of mendicancy! Let us put an end to it. Frederick Douglas wrote that human nature is so constituted, that it cannot honor a helpless man, although it can pity him…
