What My Special Needs Brother Has Taught Me

I am making peace with the reality of taking care of my special needs brother as we get older in years. For context, I am turning thirty this year, 2024.

I am already imagining us in the future; all grey hairs and wrinkled skin. Our joints aching, and he, whining and complaining.

I will still be preparing his meals because my brother is afraid of hot oil and the heat coming from the stove.

I will spend most of my money on his medicines unless a good government program finally helps to assist autistic elders in the Philippines.

I will still work a decent-paying job to provide for his basic needs and if I have some extra, maybe I could put in a good insurance company and HMO.

My best hope is for him to become independent and find good work on his own, of course. But if he doesn’t, then I have to make sure we both don’t suffer.

Personal Struggles with Accepting Responsibility

If you were to ask someone stronger, more mature, and more resilient than me about the challenges of caring for someone in the family who has special needs, they would probably say that it is a blessing and their personal calling.

They probably would accept the responsibility with pride. If ever they doubted, or feared, or felt moments of weakness, I’d like to think they would carry on sacrificing a major chunk of their lives for the benefit of the whole family.

If you would have asked me the same question some months ago, I would have glumly replied that I have no choice.

For the longest time, I was a weak, self-centered person. I put myself first above others and fled at the first sensations of a binding responsibility, especially if I felt that it was a heavy burden to carry on my own.

For a long while, too, I resented my special needs brother and my parents.

I didn’t ask to be their eldest child who was supposed to support a special needs sibling for the rest of my life. To be fair, they weren’t forcing me, but the passive aggressiveness and guilt-tripping tactic was just as effective.

I thought that my brother would keep me from living my best life, that he would hold me back from so many opportunities and wonderful adventures. Providing for his needs meant sacrificing a lot of my free time and freedom.

Now, though, I have begun to settle into the role of helper or caretaker around the house.

Perhaps it was time. Perhaps it was age or biology or a combination of all three.

It has been difficult. It still is. True enough, it meant a lot of sacrifices; personal time, days off, simple pleasures, creative hobbies, and other projects. But there will be no one to bear this burden but the family members who will remain.

I’m finding the peace in accepting that. But it doesn’t erase the fears I still hold to this day.

My Fears of Taking Care of a Special Needs Sibling

Expenses

Raising special needs children, children with disabilities, children on the autism spectrum, neurodiverse kids, or whatever term one chooses to describe their current situation is more expensive than neurotypical, “normal” children. Some, if not most, need constant supervision for the rest of their lives.

They need different therapies to improve speech, movement, and other behaviors to be functional in a public setting.

Then you need teachers with specialized training to educate them in the hopes that they would use those skills to achieve full or partial independence.

Though my brother went to a specialized school with competent, kind, compassionate teachers, all the expenses came from my father’s pocket, without help from the government. At least, to the best of my knowledge. He worked hard so my brother got the proper education he needed.

Living in the Philippines is hard enough for lower-middle-class families like ours. I can barely scrape by with the meager salary that I had during my last job before I tried freelancing. I don’t feel confident that I’ll have the kind of money that my father had in his youth, so I’m scared that I might not provide for my brother’s future needs.

And those needs will grow more expensive as we both age. That is why I fear our future expenses.

Lack of Government Support

I’m not the type to blame the government for everything, but reading a recent article still showed the lack of progress or any concrete plan for assisting Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in the country.

The news article stated that there aren’t enough “full-fledged learning centers for learners with disabilities in every locality due to the shortage of health professionals who can assess children with special needs”.

After reading that, I worried that there was still a lack of government support for adults with autism who are capable of working a simple job.

My brother isn’t on the severe side of the autism spectrum, you see. He can talk, and dance, and understand you, just as long as you talk simply. He could still write his name, albeit squiggly. He can understand movies and children’s books. He can understand simple orders.

I am grateful that at least he doesn’t need round-the-clock attention. But I’m afraid that if he doesn’t use the skills he learned in school, he will end up losing confidence in himself, and forget the skills he acquired in the expensive school.

While I’ve read that the popular shopping malls in the country have been hiring people on the autism spectrum since 2016, I have yet to personally encounter actual adults with autism working in the many malls that I visited. I’m not sure the information holds up now.

I don’t know if the Philippines would ever have a professional kind of assisted living program for the mentally challenged or disabled. But it would be a great burden off the parent or guardian’s shoulders if there were indeed competent caretakers to watch over the special needs individual as they make ends meet.

Then again, these facilities cost quite a lot of money. It would be up to the government, along with the rest of society, to share this burden to improve the quality of lives of all. I’m willing to do my part as well.

The only benefit from the government that helped somewhat was the discounts on bills and groceries when I presented my brother’s PWD ID at the cashier.

I shiver to think what would happen if there was no government aid at all. I don’t want to be one of those elderly people I see on the news. The ones who are in their 80s and 90s still taking care of an autistic aging adult.

My Own Physical Health Limitations

My brother is physically stronger than me. Ever since I was a small child, I was a weakling. I remember the years when every morning, my breakfast was thirty minutes of nebulizer and my dinner was a nightly dose of preventive inhalers.

I’m grateful that I’ve grown out of those severe asthma attacks, but no one can say for certain if it will come back with a vengeance. I hope not, for my family’s sake.

Still, I’m afraid that my health could not keep up with the demands of a full-time job, and some side hustles to help with the finances, while also taking care of myself, having a social life, and taking care of my brother.

It feels like I already have a child with no partner to help me.

All this pressure is taking a toll on my mental capabilities as well. If I don’t stop overthinking, then it will only cause further strain and negatively impact my health.

I need to train my mind to become resilient.

Ironically, that is what my brother is teaching me the more I reflect on how to better care for him and address his needs.

What My Special Needs Brother is Teaching Me

Accept Responsibility and Face Reality

I have learned that accepting responsibility and forcing myself to not overthink about the future and every little detail that irritates me takes a load off the mental and physical stress.

Would it be nice for government assistance? Yes. Would it be nice if my parents set up funds for his future? Definitely.

But that isn’t my reality. All I can do is focus on what I can do at the moment. It may not be enough but at least it’s a plan. Plans still count as something.

I also realized that things will get worse if I choose to run away from my problems. For years, I hoped that it would resolve on its own as I faced my own challenges. I hoped that a solution will fall from the sky and save us all. I hoped that my parents would think of something grand.

Again, the reality of our situation is that it won’t get any better if I don’t contribute.

The reality is that my parents are getting more lines on their faces with each season. Grey hairs are growing faster than they can color them. Their skin is sagging.

I feel myself getting older too. I am on the last stretch of my 20s. I better contribute to the family while I still have remaining strength.

That is why when well-meaning people insist that it really isn’t my responsibility to care for my special needs brother, I tell them that I am not comfortable abandoning them altogether. I need to be present to tackle all the problems on hand so that my aging parents would not suffer.

It may not be my fault that I am physically weaker than average and that my brother has special needs, but it is still my responsibility to act.

That’s just acting like a decent human being and as a good brother.

Besides, we’re Filipinos. It’s ingrained in our culture and tradition to stick together. Unless the family is downright toxic, then by all means, cut them off.

Furthermore, I did my years of selfishness. I partied. I played games to my heart’s content. None of it was fulfilling. All of it was wasted hours and days on cheap dopamine.

I had fun at the moment, but the pain multiplied depending on the time I had delayed addressing important obligations.

In my defense, it wasn’t like I was delaying gratification. I treated these simple pleasures as rewards for being an adult. Still, I admit that there was selfishness there.

Lastly, I have no interest at all in starting my own family. I’m happy being single for the rest of my life. I am an antinatalist, after all. Maybe this is the universe’s way of balancing things out.

Build Strength and Resilience

I used to have this victim mindset all the time. But taking care of my brother grants me a new perspective in life.

It forces me to look for solutions, instead of dwelling on problems. It forces me to become positive and helps me access this delusional confidence to survive and to keep showing up for work.

I realized I am more motivated to finish things and stick with my chosen struggles if it means supporting someone else. It makes things worth doing. It gives me strength and purpose.

I’m aware that helping others boost overall mood, but I’m not doing it for that. I’m not helping because I want that surge of positivity.

I’m helping out of love and out of reciprocation for the sacrifices my parents had made.

I'm helping because I have a lot of years to make up for.

Live with Hope

My special needs brother makes me see what matters most in life.

It’s about bringing people together and trying your best to protect them. It’s about sharing the load with others. It’s about giving more than you take.

It’s about living life one day at a time; to be comfortable with the lows and to enjoy the highs. It’s about never giving up and always believing in the power of hope, that whatever happens, we’ll get through this together.

It’s about honoring the sacrifices of my father and mother, cultivating a strong support system, and being a support system in return.

It may not completely erase all my fears, but living with hope manages them enough so that I have the determination to pick myself up every day and continue focusing on the present. And hope that all my efforts will count for great things in the future.

There are no guarantees, I know. But it won’t stop me from working.

Having said that, I’m not going to overwork myself. That in itself is a bad strategy. Balance would be the key here.

Work the hours, clock out, live well below our means, cook healthy meals, and ask for help when needed.

Be Sympathetic

Sympathetic. Empathetic. Compassionate. Kind. Patient.

Helping care for my special needs brother has let me release some of the negativity in me.

With a background in dramatic storytelling and a short stint as a PR writer, one of my major roles was reading and researching all the negativity in the news to hook people’s attention.

Maybe I had absorbed too much negativity that I viewed my life bleakly.

I had become jaded and toxic to the point that I had to be less sensitive to the plight of others to protect whatever pool of emotions I had left, which, ironically, made me seem dull, insensitive, and an emotionless husk.

I viewed my life with crushed hopes and broken dreams.

Now, I am re-learning how to search for the silver lining in each situation. I am re-learning to be more understanding towards hostility. I will still fight back even if it means defending myself and my time, but I am more reflective of such negative encounters.

I understand that we’re all lost, alone, and confused. I understand that we either lash out or keep our emotions bottled up.

Helping take care of my brother, I sometimes see that I’ve wasted so much of my energy on negativity and toxic behaviors. I am learning how to let go.

I would also add that I have a rocky, tumultuous relationship with my father. But the care he provided for my brother humanizes him. I still hate the guy, but I respect his sacrifices.

Conclusion

I still have a lot to learn. Every day is filled with frustrations. But without my brother, I am still stuck being a self-centered, hedonistic individual, afraid to face the reality of the past before it haunts him in his future.

Because of him, I am willing to do my best each day, good or bad, and to have faith that I can overcome obstacles.

PERFORMANCE TASK #1 PART 2

CNN Philippines Dec 1, 2023, 2:31:37 PM

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 17) — Senator Win Gatchalian filed a bill on Friday proposing to amend the 57-year-old Magna Carta for public school teacher According to the senator, this is to “address new and persisting challenges” that these public servants face. The ‘Revised Magna Carta for Public School Teachers’ or Senate Bill No. 2493 aims to improve their working conditions, salaries, protection, and teaching hours, he said The proposed amendments included the granting of “calamity leaves, educational benefits, and longevity pay,” and also defined the circumstances and conditions for giving a “special hardship allowance.” Also included were provisions to enhance teachers’ salary criteria, protect them from out-of-pocket expenses, and limit classroom hours. "To improve the working conditions of public school teachers, the proposed measure seeks to reduce the hours of classroom teaching from six to four," Gatchalian said.

Other amendments include:

- A new computation on additional pay for teachers working for more than eight hours

- Prohibiting the assignment of teachers to non-teaching tasks

- Hiring of a substitute if a teacher goes on leave, so as not to overload others by asking them to serve as alternates - Reinstatement and back wages for teachers who are unjustly terminated

The bill also proposed that teachers on probation have salaries, benefits and work conditions that are the same as or not less favorable than those of entry-level teachers.

Under the revised law, the Department of Education and Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) will also be mandated to collaborate to provide legal aid to teachers with complaints and lawsuits.

Last November, a teachers group said that conditions in public schools are now worse compared with the situation before the COVID-19 pandemic.

FEATURE: The Struggles of Female Students

“Women are born with pain built-in,” Kristin Scott Thomas said once in the show Fleabag, pertaining to how, from a very young age, women are exposed to pain and hardships that will remain constant until they grow old. These struggles aren’t all biological like period pain and menopause, which are just nature running its course. While menstruation can indeed be an excruciating form of torture, it holds no candle to other sources of pain and struggle that women face every day. Outside factors like how society expects so much yet looks down on a girl’s capabilities, the never-ending objectification of women, and so much more contribute heavily to these struggles they face. But let’s take a look at a chapter in their lives that makes or breaks them; the challenges they encounter and are forced to overcome in their school years.

According to a survey conducted by Plan International, women encounter two main issues when it came to studying: internet connectivity and household chores. While internet problems are more universal, female students are usually expected to do more household work than boys. This is due to the perceived notion of gender roles. As a result, they become an integral part of running the household and are also expected to prioritize it above everything else. This is an incentive for parents to keep their daughters at home, especially those who put a degrading value on female education. Consequently, girls are also at a higher risk of dropping out of school to take the place of their family’s caregivers when they become unavailable due to illness, Covid-19-related work, or death.

This issue only worsened during the height of online classes, when schooling became much more inaccessible to students from the lower class. This is thanks to a new kind of school requirement: gadgets. Although students do not need high-end ones to attend classes and do their assigned tasks and projects, it is hard to find an up-to-par gadget that is worth P10,000 or below. For a lower-class family, it is much more reasonable for the student to stop schooling when that kind of money could be allocated to their basic needs instead. Female students especially are considered to be more valued around the household than in school —one of the main reasons why the Philippine Statistics Authority recorded last 2017 that 68.9% of out-of-school youth are females aged 6-24. But it does not end there, as gender expectations, educational expenses, and the risk of dropping out are just a fraction of what young female students concern themselves with when in school.

Another issue girls face in school is gender-based bullying. The Program for International Student Assessment reported that 65% of Filipino students are bullied, with 70.5% of those students being female. In the hopes of reducing bullying incidents in the country, Republic Act 10627, or the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013, was enacted but unfortunately, incidents only sky-rocketed from 1,309 cases in 2013 to a whopping 11,637 cases in 2019-2020. The sad part about this is that the number wasn’t even final as last February 13, 2023, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, chairperson of the Committee on Basic Education, said that 11,000 reported cases did not make sense as this number is nowhere near 40-60% of the population of students. This expected figure set by “large-scale examinations” should have translated to 10 million - 12 million students, the discrepancy confirming the underreporting of bullying cases. Nonetheless, out of the 71,928 bullying cases tallied from 2013-2020, over 4,250 cases were reported to be gender-based in nature.

Even in the absence of in-person classes, female students still aren’t safe from harm. When the country converted to online learning back in 2020, it was reported that 68% or almost 7 out of 10 female students experienced online harassment according to a survey and interview by Plan International. Additionally, 8 of 10 girls have experienced sexual harassment through social media, with 68% of them falling victing to their own peers.

These instances of bullying, and other forms of discrimination are known to cause and worsen mental health problems. In a 2018 study by Jesus Alfonso D. Datu, it’s stated that discrimination can be linked to negative emotions and inhibited academic achievement. This is worsened by the stigma surrounding mental health; young girls are often described as “OA” and too sensitive, and are frequently asked the tiring question, “meron ka ngayon ‘no?” implying that the trauma these girls face is somehow connected to them being on their period. These comments do not only come from their peers; the majority of it comes from the older generations. The mindset that “trauma makes you stronger and it builds character” is one that has been popularized over the years but in fact, being tormented and invalidated do not make girls stronger, it just leaves them traumatized.

It’s sad to think that female students have to go through all these, just to be educated —a basic human right, and that giving up can feel like the easier option than fighting to learn. In spite of this, their struggle is one that cannot be neglected. After all, their successes not only benefit them individually, but the whole of society. Girls have a lot to offer, if only given the right opportunities and resources that they need to thrive. //by Cilque Casis and Daniella Garces

Breaking Myths About MBBS Abroad: What You Need to Know

Every year, thousands of students want to become doctors, but because of limited seats and high school fees in Indian medical colleges, they seek opportunities abroad. However, many myths and misconceptions prevent doctors from assessing foreign medical education. Some people believe that MBBS abroad is not recognized, while others worry about the quality of education. Studying therapy in countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia and others actually provides excellent opportunities. With the right guidance from advisers and MBBS abroad consultants in Jaipur, students can pursue recognized and affordable medical degrees globally. Let's argue for the most common myths about studying MBBS abroad and discovering truth.

Myth 1: MBBS Abroad Degrees Are Not Recognized in India

Reality: One of the biggest myths is that foreign MBB's degrees are not valid in India. In fact, medical degrees from WHO and NMC-charged universities are fully valid. Graduates should pass the foreign medical candidate exam (FMGE) or next (National Exit Test) to practice in India, such as Indian Private College graduates. Many students abroad successfully consist of these exams and work as prominent doctors in India and globally.

Myth 2: MBBS is very expensive abroad

Reality: Many students believe that the study of medicine abroad is only for the rich. However, compared to private medical colleges in India, MBBs abroad are often reasonable. Countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan offer medical degrees at a price of £15–40 lakhs, including teaching and housing. In addition, some universities provide scholarships and payout options, making medical education financially available.

Myth 3: It will be difficult to study language barrier

Reality: While many countries have original languages, top medical universities offer MBB's programs in English. Students also receive extra language learning to help communicate with patients under clinical practice. In most cases, the basic knowledge of the local language is enough for everyday interaction, and students adapt quickly.

Myth 4: The quality of education is inferior

Reality: Some people believe that the study of medicine abroad compromises the quality of education. In fact, countries like Russia, Ukraine and China have some of the world's best medical universities, offering advanced facilities, experienced faculties and broad clinical risk. The universities focus on practical training and equip students with the skills required to excel in the medical field.

Myth 5: Living status of Indian students is unsafe

Reality: Many international students, including Indians, study in countries such as Russia, Kazakhstan and the Philippines without security problems. The universities provide safe hostels, student support services and local assistance. In addition, students often live in well-developed cities with modern infrastructure and accommodating societies.

Myth 6: Students have trouble adapting abroad

Reality: Being beneficial for a new country is always a challenge, but medical universities ensure that international students feel comfortable. Many universities have Indian student communities, Indian food alternatives and cultural programs. Over time, students adapt well and even enjoy the experience of the study in the global environment.

Myth 7: MBB's Graduate Facial Job Struggle from abroad

Reality: A confirmation from a foreign university does not limit job opportunities. If students pass FMGE further, they can work in public and private hospitals in India. In addition, many foreign MBBs are undergoing higher studies or functions in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia after approving related license exams such as USMLE and Plab.

Steps to succeed in studying MBBS successfully

If you are considering getting MBB's degree abroad, follow these steps:

Research your options: Shortlist a university based on verification, tax structure and courses.

Check the qualification: Make sure you meet the minimum education and NEET requirements.

Search in universities: Submit the application with the necessary documents.

Safe Entry and Visa: Get a proposal letter and process your visa.

Travel and settle: Arrive at university, adapt to the new environment and start your medical journey.

Prepare for a license exam: FMGE/Next or further plan for other country-specific medical examinations.

Conclusion

Studying medicine abroad is a great opportunity for students who want to become doctors. While myth and misunderstanding can counteract students, reality is very different. Foreign MBBS degrees are globally recognized, cheap and provide high-quality education. MBBS abroad consultants in Jaipur can achieve your dreams without boundaries, without the doctor's ambition, with proper planning and support from advisers abroad. If you hesitate to chase MBBs abroad, it's time to break myths and take the first step toward a successful medical career!

The Rise of Electric Cars in the Philippines: 2025 Overview

As the global shift toward sustainable transportation gains momentum, the Philippines is emerging as a key player in the electric vehicle (EV) revolution in Southeast Asia. In 2025, the adoption of electric cars in the country has surged, driven by advancements in technology, government initiatives, and a growing public awareness of environmental issues.

Government Support Driving Change

The Philippine government has been instrumental in fostering the growth of the EV market. With the implementation of the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA), incentives such as tax exemptions, import duty reductions, and priority lanes for EVs have encouraged both manufacturers and consumers to embrace electric mobility. The act also mandates the installation of EV charging stations in strategic locations across urban centers and major highways, addressing one of the primary barriers to EV adoption—range anxiety.

Expanding Charging Infrastructure

In 2025, the charging infrastructure in the Philippines has expanded significantly. Private companies, in collaboration with local governments, have established charging networks in shopping malls, coffee shops, residential areas, and key transit hubs. Apps like Charge and Chill, which focus on mapping charging stations near lifestyle venues, have become indispensable for EV owners. These apps provide real-time data on charging availability, pricing, and compatibility, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Diverse EV Models Now Available

Automakers have recognized the potential of the Philippine market and introduced a variety of electric car models catering to different consumer needs. Affordable compact EVs like the Wuling Air EV and Nissan Leaf are popular among urban dwellers, while premium models from Tesla and BMW appeal to more affluent buyers. Local manufacturers have also entered the fray, offering budget-friendly options tailored to the needs of Filipino drivers.

Economic and Environmental Benefits

The shift to electric vehicles is not just an environmental necessity but also an economic opportunity. EVs have lower operating costs compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, thanks to reduced fuel and maintenance expenses. For businesses, transitioning to electric fleets has proven cost-effective in the long run.

On the environmental front, the increasing use of EVs has contributed to a noticeable reduction in air pollution in cities like Manila and Cebu. With renewable energy sources like solar and wind gaining traction, the carbon footprint of charging EVs is also on the decline, aligning with the country’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Challenges and Future Outlook

Despite these advancements, challenges remain. High upfront costs of EVs, limited charging stations in rural areas, and a lack of consumer awareness still hinder widespread adoption. However, with continuous investment in infrastructure, technology, and education, the outlook for EVs in the Philippines is optimistic.

As we navigate 2025, the Philippines is steadily paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future. The combination of government initiatives, private sector involvement, and an increasingly eco-conscious public has set the stage for electric vehicles to become a mainstream choice for transportation. With continued efforts, the country is well on its way to becoming a regional leader in the electric mobility revolution.
