Manila, Philippines – Dahil maingay sa loob ng sinehan, sinita ni Rita Avila ang kapwa manonood.
Sa kanyang Threads account, ipinost ng aktres ang kanyang naging karanasan sa isang lalaking theatregoer na nakatabi niya sa upuan.
Simulang kuwento ni Rita: “I was watching in a moviehouse. The phone of the man beside me rang loudly.”
The actress went on: “He was on loudspeaker and he talked like no one was around him. I said, ‘Maingay po, nasa sinehan tayo’.”
Sa halip daw na mag-sorry ay iba ang reaksyon nito matapos niyang pagsabihan.
“He replied with, ‘Pasensya na, senior citizen na.’ I said ‘Senior na din ako.’
“He put off his phone. Senior na nga so he should have learned social manners by then,” giit ni Rita.
Ibinida tuloy ng aktres ang kanyang anak who’d call her out: “Pag bright masyado ang c.p. ko. At ang sabi pa niya ay hindi excuse ang pagiging senior sa kawalan ng manners.”
Rita stressed that at times, we need to be reminded of our manners–regardless of our age.
And let’s face it, may mga iba din talaga na tumatanda nang paurong! Ronnie Carrasco III
