Cu4tro Cantos

The Four Songs of Life

Cu4tro Cantos is the new Ala Eh Blog. Since I cannot provide pure Batangueño articles, I decided a revamp of the site, which I think is more appropriate. Cu4tro Cantos refers to the four members of the Cantos Family. In spanish, Cuatro means Four, and Cantos means Songs.

My Dad is coming home

After 7 months, he’s coming back. He’s been emotionally harned all those months and he decided to come back home for good. Everytime I call him, he always sound stressed. I always hear him complain of the way he’s being treated by The Boss. He understands that The Boss is running on some personal issues. Really BIG issues because The King of one country is hunting them down. What he don’t understand is why does he always get the side-effects. And he’s the only one getting them. Well, I experienced it too, for 2 secs. She answered one of my calls and when I asked if I can speak to my dad, she told me “Masyado maaga and tawag na to ha”. It was 6AM there so I just apologized then said goodbye.

My Dad doesn’t know what to do at first but then decided to tell The Boss his concerns. He asked her why he’s getting ill-treated and The Boss said she just have a probem. She even tried to apologize but in the end my dad still decided to fly home instead. Few days later, she told my dad the he can fly home by January. And then today, she told my dad that he’ll be flying home this week. And few minutes later, the drivers were already outside waiting for my dad to bring him to the airport. This is according to my mom who is really worried about what’s happening. And I, together with my brother will pick him up from the airport tomorrow night. And we don’t even get the flight number.

My dad gets a monthly salary, 58% less than what he signed on the contract. And this has not been a problem to him since he know it from the start that the contract is just for formality purpose. Something for him to show to the embassy so his Visa gets approved.

No matter what happened, it is still a blessing that for 7 months, he earned few grands to sustain our family. Thanks God.

A Son misses his Dad

I’ve mentioned before, my Dad flew to NY to work. That brought a mixture of excitement, happiness, sadness and thankfulness for the opportunity among the family. He’s been there for 5 months now, and I heard that he really feels lonely. I even heard from my mom that he wants to come back already. So I called him for some moral advice.
