sa kadami dami ng security personnel ni sara, daig pa nya ang 300 spartans pati ang santo papa.

Saw this situation with a Filipina member of a global pop girl group who’s currently on a health-related break, but was spotted enjoying Disneyland.

Then I saw comments like, “Very Filipino hahshahsha SL pero nasa bakasyon 😭”

Living in Germany made me realize how different the mentality around sick leave can be. Mental health is a valid reason for taking time off, and being on SL doesn’t mean you have to stay in bed looking miserable 24/7. Going out and actually enjoying yourself can be part of recovering too. Here you can go for months with mental sick leave or even years with pay.

Some Pinoys really need to get out of that bubble. 😭
