June 2, 2011 this day is another revelation of a well crafted and another majestic performance of great acting ability of all actors and actresses combined. They have only shown simple yet heartwarming and critical script writing masterpiece that permit to tell the whole story of another side of a person that has not been shown. Mostly in the TV series where there is only one side of the personality of the character, but this time they add up some twist. This day episode is probably one my most favorite.
Anna Manalastas and Sophia on their search have not found a trustworthy employee and Anna still hurting about the discovery of employee’s accusation upon her character still, strive to believe that she has been a good employer and it is her employees who misunderstood her. Until Mr. Ricardo or Mang Carding (Joonee Gamboa) the Janitor shows up to tell the real objectives of their boss.
Mang Carding told young Anna (Xyriel Manabat) and Sophia (Jody Sta. Maria) that he only spoken once to their boss Anna Manalastas (Connie Reyes) and that has been the most wonderful time of his life. Anna and Sophia wondered and unexpectedly pondered upon hearing such words. The janitor believed that Anna has been harsh on him but she told him a lesson he will never forget.
It was the day that the messenger has been late on his duty and the secretary has asked the service of Mang Carding to deliver two important documents to their customers. Mang Carding failed to deliver the letter by swapping it on to each other. It was then that Anna called upon his attention in her office to talk to him for the first time. Anna in dismayed about the incident gazed upon his looks told Mang Carding to explain everything, Mang Carding on the other hand was awkward as he utter his first word in a silent voice told Anna that the envelope looks exactly the same. Anna on disappointment told Mang Carding that he have done a big mistake.
It wasn’t long that Anna began to realize that Mang Carding is an illiterate man. The next words that she says is like a knife in his chest, Anna told him that he has grown and yet he never realize the value of education at all and she told the man that he should be responsible to learn on his own if not given a chance to go to school. Anna added that he will always be fooled around by other person. She says they will always take advantage on you and you cannot do something about it unless you learn how to read and write. The last word she says is even more painful to Mang Carding when she stressed out that you should have mercy on yourself.
Mang Carding has taken her word seriously and taken it quite impressively when he told himself that Anna has shown concern and importance in taking time to talk to him. He has taken the word of Anna not just a humiliation but as a challenge. Sophia could not resist but to say that you were insulted by your boss and treated you badly, so how can she had shown importance? Mang Carding lightly admitted that Anna has done a good deed in telling her the truth about his shortcomings. Mang Carding in his heart has left her a challenge that he has to face. It was then he realized the value of education and he couldn’t realize it without Anna. The young Anna smiled and told herself she is a good person.
Mang Carding has been moved in her words and started to learn to read and write on his own with the help of the street children buying a few books on his last cents, until he learned a few words and begun to utter and write but struggling but he study hard all its phases and he toiled his free time day and night even on his job he find time to study and finally he succeeded. He never known what he has done but he is proud of his achievement for he has regain confidence and meaning to live the life ahead.
For so many years in darkness and humiliation about people who mistreated his lack of education, now he is ready to face the world. All this because of Anna. Mang Carding is now ready to face his boss to tell her about his knowledge but it was during those times that the car of Anna has exploded. Most employees rejoice on her death. But not Mang Carding, he couldn’t thank her enough for she has made a difference in his life.
