“What? That old guy from Roxas Street eloped with the young pretty girl from Natividad? Really?”

“Hey, are you going to go attend the aerobics tonight? You look like you gained some weight last vacation, just like me! Let’s go tonight, okay?”

“I think we need to recommend the Mayor to attend the fitness thing? He needs it!”

“Let’s have some get-together. A party of some sort. Only us, the parents. Who wants to go?

“Aren’t we going to pursue the previous plan of bringing the kids to the zoo? My daughter wants to visit the Dinosaur Land.”

“Late! You are late, you need to pay fine of twenty pesos. We are the gatekeepers here!”

“I heard you were leaving us soon! Abroad again huh? Let’s have a party before you go! I’ll take care of the pulutan!”

“Listen, listen folks! I am creating a new set of savings group here or paluwagan! I wanna know who wants to join!”

“Did you know that the priest from that town has a child with the girl in this barrio? Gosh, I am not really sure how it happened. But I think it is true. The girl is a relative of a friend.”

“Hey , what was the emergency last night? I heard the siren of the ambulance. Were you driving last night?

“Accident. The old vendor of banana pear got hit by a vehicle and left her on the street. A victim of hit and run! So we brought her to the city hospital! I’m not so sure if she will make it though.”

“Have you heard about the news that Manny Pacquiao is running for a public position again?” He maybe rich but he does not know what’s good for him!”

“I think the gossip that Manny was involved with this sexy actress is true. They were seen together in the US. Based on the showbiz magazine that I read.”

“My, my, our friend here is getting prettier everyday. She even had her hair re-bonded. Her husband from Canada will be here for a vacation! Uyyy, excited!”

“Oh, it’s really hard to think about the next menu for lunch today and then for dinner!”

“My husband grilled pork chops yesterday and it was soooo good! I’ll share to you the recipe. Today we are having mackerel broiled in tomato and ginger.”

"I hate this lady from the other session! She so annoying and so inconsiderate! She does not know who she dealing with!"


“Oooops, some children are crying. Maybe teacher needs some help inside the classroom!”

“You know, I wonder why my son loves pink. At the age of three, he always wants Barbie dolls and anything pink. I think he’s gay!”

“Life abroad is really difficult, but it also makes us learn a lot. Good thing, some Overseas Filipino Workers are paid well, and we can earn and save a lot as well.”

“What are you having for your son’s merienda today? Ahhh, sandwich and juice?”

“Call the lady vendor selling vegetables on wheels! Come on guys let’s buy some vegetables!”

“The weather is really getting cold, especially in the morning. It’s getting harder and harder for me to wake up!”

“What happened to your legs? How long did it take for the hair to grow back after you shaved?”

Then suddenly… everyone heard the children almost shouting in unison:

“Goodbye classmates! Goodbye teacher!”

“Oh classes are already done! It’s still early! We’re not done yet talking, chit-chat, joking and gossiping here! Hehehe!”

From the little hut where the parents are chit-chatting endlessly, they saw their children queuing. Getting ready to leave. Children aged 3 to 5, so cute in their red uniforms.

Every parent and guardian stood up and got themselves ready to greet their respective child.

“What did you do today? Your assignments? Did you follow your teacher’s instructions?” Were you good?”

This is the usual scenario at the Day Care Center in the province... our province. Not only the students meet new friends. Also the parents and guardians became friends and bonded daily. With so much time in their hands as they wait and look afteir their charge.

With various topics. With various gossips (tsismis).


I suggest we change the meaning of PTA acronym to:

Parents’ Tsismis Association

Dedicated to the friendship of parents and guardians of the Day Care Center, that evolved through the time.. Time spent together as they patiently wait for their children
