Ang kwento natin ay isang babae na naging emosyonal sa isang checkpoint sa Maynila dahil sa pinatutupad na lockdown, kaya magtweet na using the “#CuentameLockdown”.

Ang episode na ito ay dala ng pangangailangang makapagwithdraw ng pera sa ATM mula sa 4Ps at pinamagatang “Dahil sa lockdown, babae naghysterical sa checkpoint!”

Dear Jon and Jeri,

Damang-dama ko ang hirap sa kabila ng lockdown at damang-dama ko ang komplikasyon ng buhay sa kabila-kabilang checkpoint na nararanasan sa ngayon sa buong Luzon. Nadarama ko ang hinagpis ng isang babae na naghysterical sa isang checkpoint dala ng desperasyon dulot ng hindi hinihinging pagkakataon. Isa akong  saksi sa pangyayari pero wala akong magawa dahil ito ay tawag ng trabaho para protektahan ang ating kababayan mula sa isang kalaban na hindi mo nakikita, ang laban kontra COVID-19!

Hango ang kwentong ito sa video ni Jaymee Setnem Spyjo na nagviral at ito ang kwento nila!

Checkpoint:           Tinitingnan nyo ako…gusto nyo ikulong ko kayo!

Babae:                    Alam po namin ang patakaran!

Checkpoint:           Alam nyo pala eh!

Babae:                   Alam nyo naman, ngayon lang po kami lumabas ng bahay! (hysterical)

Checkpoint:           Ikukulong ko kayo!

Babae:                Grabe naman , ikukulong nyo ako…sige ikulong nyo ako, yun naman ang gusto nyo di ba?

Lalake:                    Tama na yan! (sabi sa babae)

Checkpoint:            Sige boss, sumunod na lang tayo.

Babae :            Konting pag-unawa lang naman ho…’yung ang ina ano naming sa inyo. Tapos ganito pa ang gagawin nyo sa amin, kasalanan po ba namin iyon!

Checkpoint:            Pinapayagan naman, ikaw lang mag-isa.

Lalake:                   Tama na yan…tama na yan (sabi sa babae)

Checkpoint:    Walang may kasalanan dito…iniingatan lang kayo ng gobyerno

Babae:                    Alam ko wala!

Babae:             Bakit hindi kami mapagbigyan, kahit saan na kami pumunta…mayroon ba noon sa amin, kung mayron man sa amin hindi kami makakarating dito eh (hikbi)!

Checkpoint:            Isa lang po muna ang pagbibigyan Sir

Checkpoint:            Pasensya po, trabaho lang…trabaho lang.

Lalake:                   Tama na (sabi sa babae)

Checkpoint:            Ikaw na lang magpapalit

Babae:                    Ayun nga po, pipindot din ako ng 4Ps ko

Checkpoint:            Saan ang katunayan na 4Ps ka?

Babae:                    Ito nga po…oh!

Lalake:                    Tara na, hayaan mon a lang yan

Checkpoint:             Ikaw na lang magpapalit

Checkpoint:             Maghintay ka na lang dyan

Lalake:                    Dun na lang sa bahay, ako na lang

Checkpoint:             Relax lang

Checkpoint:    Pinapayagan naman kayo, ikaw lang…hindi kita binabawalan, ikaw lang!

Babae:                    Kung marunong lang ‘tong pumindot ng ATM

Checkpoint:            Tuturuan yan dun…tuturuan

Lalake:                    Bhe, maglakad ka na lang dun

Checkpoint:             Huwag kayong magalit sa amin

Checkpoint:             Pinapatupad lang ang lockdown…pinapatupad lang!

Babae:                     Papaunahin mo siya, tapos ako maglalakad pauwi…anu na, anung…anu yun!

Checkpoint:          Maam, may mga matatandang naglalakad…Maam, hindi po para sa amin ito, para sa lahat po yan. Tatagal lang po tayong ganito paggaganyan po tayo!

Checkpoint:             Wala ka ngang mask…eh!

Lalake:                    Tara nah…tara nah!

Checkpoint:             Ikaw na lang kuya

Lalake:                    Pasensiya na lang po (sabi sa checkpoint)

Checkpoint:             Gusto maghintay ka na lang diyan?

Babae:                    ….magkulong na lang tayo sa bahay!

Checkpoint:             Yan po ang dapat…magkulong!

Babae:                 (Bandang lampas ng kaunti ng checkpoint)…bat maglalakad ako bhe!

Hugot for Cuentame!

Nararamdaman ko ang helplessness ng babae pero may bigat sa responsibilidad ng ating mga authorities…respeto at pagsunod ang dapat mangibabaw sa panahon ng krisis. Personally, may problema ako sa mga taong naghihysterical at sobrang moody na iniisip lang kung ano ang kanilang marerecieve, I simply avoided them!

Mga kababayan ito po ang realidad sa ngayon at malayo sa mga teleseryeng ating pinapanood, kaya sana suportahan natin ang ating gobyerno sa kanyang adhikain. Kagaya ng kakaibang disiplina sa India na inyong napanood na umaabot hanggang sa physical na aspeto.

Iyan po ang hugot namin for Cuentame!

Panawagan ng Cuentame!

He knows the extensive route and traffic system on both territories. He worked with different companies and individuals including the former Indian Parliament Member-Mr. C. Haridas.

Latheef collections consist of paper monetary bills, coins, newspapers, post stamps and sim cards. During the presentation, he brought two (2) full folders alphabetically arranged money collection from different countries labelled into a customized template with name, flag, map location and basic information of the country.

This is only the sample that he showed us, but he has vast collections from his country.

My attention was caught on some unknown territories that exist, a money note from a territory called “Guernsey” and “Jersey”, that based on my research are self-governing dependent territories of UK that are the Channel Islands found between England and France. The “Guernsey Pound” is widely used as a legal tender on the bailiwick of Guernsey and freely circulated in Jersey with the same acceptance of “Jersey Pound” for both dependent territories but both notes are not accepted on the mainland UK.

With his collections from 209 countries, he still needs to have a money notes from Panama and territory of Zanzibar to complete his collections. Zanzibar is an island in Indian Ocean that had once part of British territory but now a part of Tanzania. The currency being used in Zanzibar is Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) but US Dollar is widely accepted. You can contribute on his money collections specially for the country of Panama and territory of Zanzibar that you can reach through his email.

His collections are product of research from small unknown territories up to major countries of the world. A numismatist and a member of International Bank Note Society (IBNS) with different awards and distinction from different award giving bodies.

Agra is a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh and beautifully situated on the banks of river Yamuna. From 1526 to 1628 it achieved prominence as the capital of the Mughal Emperors. Today it remains major tourist destination because of its many splendid Mughal-era monuments most notably the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort & Fatehpur Sikri, all the three tourist spots are listed in UNESCO World Heritage site.

Taj Mahal which means Crown of the Palaces and symbolizes eternal love. It was built in the year 1631 by the 5th Mughal emperor, Shah Jehan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Mahal is a Persian Princess who died giving birth to her 14^th child. Taj Mahal was completed within 22 years.

Last stop is Agra Fort, taken over by the Mughal Emperor Akbar from the Lodhis in the late 16th century. It was built from red sandstone, often inlaid with white marble & intricate decorations. The Fort can be more accurately described as a walled palatial city.

This this the end of my Agra Tour and headed back to railway station to board train for New Delhi via Bhopal Shatabdi Express.

India was my 19th country visited around the world.
