Paano Turuan Ang Anak Ng Tama At Mali? Bianca Gonzalez On Parenting And Disinformation

“Ang hirap maging magulang,” Bianca Gonzalez, host and mom of two girls, writes in her May 11, 2022 Instagram post. 

“Ito pala pakiramdam ng magulang natin nung tayo ang pinapalaki nila sa nagbabagong mundo.” It is her first Instagram post since the 2022 presidential elections.

“Habang tinitingnan ko ang aming mga anak, nag-aalala ako sa mundo ng teknolohiya at disinformation na kalalakihan nila. 

She asks, “Paano kaya namin sila matuturuan ng kung ano ang tama at mali, na maging matatag sa kanilang prinsipyo kahit na minsa'y magiging mas mahirap piliin, na matutong makinig, rumespeto at maging bukas sa ibang paniniwala pero wag bibitawan na ang tama ang tama at ang mali ay mali?

Bianca Gonzalez and her husband JC Intal publicly supported Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Kiko Pangilinan during their recent campaign for the presidential and vice-presidential seats accordingly.

Much like many parents of young children who supported the said candidates, Bianca is in a reflective state likely based on the unofficial tally that reveals Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. as the clear winner.

Paano ituturo ang pananagutan?

She goes on to ask, “Paano namin matuturuan ang mga anak namin na magkaroon ng pananagutan sa kanilang pagkakamali. Paano namin mapaparamdam sa kanila na kahit magkamali sila, hindi magbabago ang pagmamahal namin, at ang mas importante ay akuin nila ito, ituwid ang mali, at maging mas mabuti dahil dito.

Bianca has shared in previous posts that she and her husband have not always voted the same in the past elections, which she credits to the nature of a democracy. 

But in the recent 2022 elections, the Intals decided on the same candidate. They even joined the house-to-house campaign efforts of the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem. 

She writes that she is proud of their vote that is for their daughters, Carmen and Lucia. “Botong maipagmamalaki namin at boto na para sa aming mga anak.”
