Model Parent...?
I'm flabergasted.
Just because a person is oozing money to take care of one's kids, that person can be given a "Ulirang Magulang" (Model Parent) award? Even if that person has a child out of wedlock?
Do they have anyone else more deserving to give this distinction? Where are our values going? Down the toilet? Are these people the role models of today?
Any parent will surely want to take care of his kids, especially one with huge financial resources to do it. There is nothing exemplary and extraordinary about it.
But show me a parent who despite not having a spouse (due to death or any other cause) and hence, limited financial resources, put all his/her children through college. That to me is a model parent.
Despite adversity and "disabilities," a parent prevailed and raised the children into productive members of society. That's a role model for me.
My maternal grandmother was awarded a similar honor in her province about twenty years ago. And she truly deserved it. Despite being a widow, and with meager financial resources, she put through all her eight children through college. She produced 4 teachers, a CPA, a dentist, a judge (lawyer) and an architect.
Show me someone who choose to take care of abandoned, orphaned, neglected children, even if that person has no obligation or responsibility to do so. That's a model parent.
Anything incomparable to it, such as so-called "famous" parents merely awarded model parent honors merely by virtue of their fame, is just plain wrong.
