For many, the joy of Christmas is a privilege, not a given. At the Pasay City Public Market, this truth is evident. The cart pusher, hands red from the cold, labors to earn just enough to bring home a modest meal. Sellers, burdened by poverty, exchange goods with dreams of providing a better holiday for their families.

These stories remind us that while Christmas is a time of joy for some, it remains a challenge for many. As we celebrate, let us also reflect on how we can extend compassion to those for whom this season is a struggle.
