A baby’s Christening is way for Filipino families to welcome their children into the Christian world. They believe that through Christening, their children will be guided all throughout their lives.
As part of the religious ceremony, the parents of the baby are asked to list down a few godparents who will serve as the baby’s second parents who will be helping the parents raise them.
However, it appears that parents took the term “godparents” the wrong way as most Filipino parents are forcing their children’s godparents to help them and give them something that they need.
A netizen recently took to social media to share the conversation she had with the mother of her godchild.
The conversation started with the mother asking her to be her child’s godmother. They continued with the discussion and even mentioned the location of the christening.
However, the woman was left in complete shock after the mother asked her for a payment of 800 pesos claiming it’s a payment for the church. Just when you think that it was already the worse, the mother asked for more!
She said, “Tska mars pwede favor? Pwede ikaw na sumagot ng cake ni ening 3 layer ng pondant (fondant) tapos 24 cupcakes?”
The godmother-to-be was extremely shocked and asked her if she was serious. She then continued to tell her that the 3-layer cake that she wishes for would cost her around 5 thousand pesos. She then told the mother that she cannot afford it because they also got bills to pay.
However, the mother of the child was persistent and even noted that 5k is nothing for her since her husband is a seaman.
“Ngek anu ba naman sayo yung 5k e nung high school nga nililibre mo kami sa bayan dati tapos seaman pa asawa mo.”
She then demanded that she will get the money after their conversation so she could have someone to make the 3 layer cake for the event.
“Plsss marss ku2niin (kukunin) ko mamaya ako na papagawa ng cake para di na abala sayo pati yung 800 na bayad sa simbahan.”
The woman then apologized and told her that she cannot afford a 3 layer cake because it would cost her too much. She even explained that they have just spent money for her baby’s birthday.
The mother was somehow enraged by what the ninang-to-be told her. The mother told her that she wanted her to be her child’s godparent because she’s “galante” or generous when it comes to money.
As expected, the netizens were furious because of the audacity of the parent to ask too much from her child’s godparents.
