The thing is, I personally know a handful of agents who have become sosyalero/sosyalera, so I know what I am talking about, I knew them beforehand and some of them live with me, and I personally know their families as well. When they started it wasn't the case, but sad to say, they no longer have their priorities set like before, mas gi una na ang social life before even thinking about family and savings(magka utang utang na gani).
The people I know who have become sosyalero/sosyalera set out to work here in Cebu to earn money to help their families back in the province. No vices at first, but because of their peers and the desire to be "in" they have started smoking, drinking, partying, shopping to the point that they go broke. Sad thing is, their peers don't even know what the real deal is, and they continue to bury themselves in their misery just as long as they can continue to be together with their "sosyal" peers.
You can call me himantayon, but at least I have the guts to tell them that what they are doing is wrong rather then letting them drown themselves.
Part of being a concerned friend to them is being himantayon and hinawayon to the extent that I
tell them that what they are doing is wrong.
