Hanggang saan ang iyong ipupusta?

Araw-araw, ito ang pinag-iisipan ni Flordeliza Padilla. Ang aminadong sugarol ng Bagong Silang, Caloocan ay makikitang naglalaro sa komunidad mula umaga, tanghali, at gabi. Ang kanyang ipinupusta? Ang perang padala ng kanyang kinakasama. At pupusta siya sa kahit ano’ng laro, mapa-dice man iyan, baraha, o barya sa kara krus.

Seryoso si Flordeliza na manalo sa sugal. Kaya’t minsan nalilingat siya sa kanyang mga maliliit na anak na sina Charlie at Clarisse. Hindi nag-aaral sa edad na pito, nangangalakal ng plastik at bote si Charlie. Naiintindihan daw niya ang pagsusugal ng ina, at nagpapasalamat siya sa pag-aalaga nito. Para naman sa bunsong si Clarisse, apat na taong gulang, ang sugal ay isang paraan ng “pagpapalago” ng pera. Araw-araw, umaasa sina Charlie at Clarisse na mananalo si Flordeliza sa sugal. Pero ano nga ba ang nakataya sa bawat minuto ng kanyang pagsusugal?

Ngayong Sabado sa I-Witness, susundan ni Kara David ang isang pamilyang namumuhay sa sugal.

Mapapanood ang “Sugarol” sa GMA 7 ngayong February 6, 2016, 11:00pm, pagkatapos ng Celebrity Bluff.

English version:

Just how much would you be willing to gamble?

In a community in Bagong Silang, Caloocan, Flordeliza Padilla contemplates this question every day of her life. A self-confessed sugarol (gambler), she spends her mornings, afternoons and evenings playing games and betting using the money that her partner sends for their family. She doesn’t really mind whatever game is on: she can play bingo, dice games, a multitude of card games and even the coin game “kara-krus”.

The lure of winning is just so irresistible for Flordeliza that she sometimes loses track of her young children, Charlie and Clarisse. Charlie spends his day scavenging at nearby communities. Unschooled at the age of seven, he understands his mother’s penchant for gambling and appreciates how she manages to provide for them. Clarisse, at age four, fondly refers to their mother’s gambling as a way to “grow” their money.

Charlie and Clarisse have nothing but high hopes for their mother. But what is it that Flordeliza ultimately wagers in gambling?

This Saturday on I-Witness, Kara David follows a family living with gambling. Watch “Sugarol (Gambler)” on GMA 7 this February 6, 2016 after Celebrity Bluff. For comments, tweet Kara David, @karadavid and I-Witness, @IWitnessGMA.
