Chapter 28 Mr. and Mrs. Ortiz de Rozaz
• 👑 •
Cebu, Visayas, Philippines
Madrid Anselmo and Sofia Elena finally arrived at orphanage located in one of the provinces of Cebu. Kanina, karatating lang nila sa Cebu—and they immediately went to the place of their first stop of the tour. Based on their schedule, they will visit an orphanage in the morning. Kaagad silang dalawa bumaba sa sasakyan at sinalubong sila ni Sister Matilda, ang mother superior na namamahala ng orphanage. Beside the nun, was the Mayor of the province, Mrs. Alejano.
Both of the ladies curtsied when they saw them. Sofia then gave each of the ladies a kiss on their cheeks as sign of greeting.
"It's wonderful to see you both here, your majesties," the mayor told her, smiling. Fia smiled back.
"We're happy to visit too. Sorry din po if ngayon lang kami nakabisita." She replied sincerely. Madrid Anselmo was busy talking to the nun as well. Sa gilid naman nila ay mga media at press na pilit kinukunan sila ng mga litrato.
"Naku, sa totoo nga, first time ng orphanage na mabisitahan ng isang royal, usually, the royals do not visit farther places, especially if nasa probinsya na. So we're really happy that you have chosen our orphanage to give a visit."
Nakasunod lang silang dalawa ni Madrid sa mga ito habang tino-tour ang buong lugar ng orphanage.
"This orphanage does not only cater normal children... we mean, we also have children with special needs." The nun told them and they arrived in a certain playroom of the orphanage where the special children were playing. "Binigyan naman sila ng separate playroom kasi minsan nag-aaway sila sa ibang mga bata. And special children, sometimes, they tend to become wild."
"Minsan, nalulungkot din kami," the mayor added. "Madalang lang kasi ang may gustong mag-adopt ng isang espesyal na bata. We all know our society that we are currently living right now, they all condemn, belittle these kind of children..."
Guiltily and pitiffully, Fia looked at the special children who were playing and doing their own stuff. May mga caretaker din naman ang mga ito na kasama.
"Paano 'yung edukasyon nila?" She asked the mayor.
"May mga volunteers na nagtuturo pero minsan, hindi rin sapat. Hindi rin kasi ganun kalikahan ang budget natin—and sometimes, volunteers would be afraid in handling them. Unlike with normal orphaned children where we can enroll them to a public school, we don't have a public school for children with special needs. Kung meron man, it's private and it's expensive."
