Dirty hands for clean living

Updated: Feb 10, 2020

As far as I know, when your hands are dirty, you're a hardworker. Many of us do not want people with dirty hands. From the knowledge of many, having a clean hand is a sign of a simple, clean life. In an essay by John Delaney entitled 'Living With Dirty Hands', he emphasized the importance of having dirty hands.


According to Delaney the dirty hands are with people who are important in everyday life in the world. These are the hands of plumbers, truck drivers, street cleaners, carpenters, machine shop workers and more. They have a poor hand shape but they are the firm and hardworking hands of the living family. Like Romel Ayaay, 6, married, from Barangay Ilayang Polo here in Quezon. He is one of those who literally has dirty hands because of his type of work. They live with families in the woods (soot making). Her hands were often dirty because of the residue of charcoal, but for her it was a blessing.


“Even though my hands are dirty, my job is clean. I have no crime, I don't commit crimes like anyone else, ”Ronel said. Since 2008, Ronel has been in bed. Here he drowns his wife and a child. At every one opening of the charcoal product, he sells 10 sacks of charcoal. Each sack costs Php 150. This means that he earns Php 3,000 for every one-time sale of charcoal products. Charcoal is difficult. According to Ronel, it is necessary to gather wood from the forest. It lasts about three days with the appearance of charcoal wood. When the accumulated wood is sufficiently large to call and file, they will be cut down according to the length of the cover. After the timber has been cut down, it will be lighted and covered with fire and soil. Within 24 hours, the wood will become charcoal inside the pool. After five hours, the charcoal can be picked up and put in the sack. Once stored in the rice sack, it can be brought to the market. “It usually takes five to four days before I can sell charcoal. It was a little difficult but I got used to it. It does not require careful supervision, as long as the footprints are clear, I can either sleep or go fishing for something else. ”Ronel promised.
