MANDAWID: Hukbong Himpapawid

MANdirigmang DAngal ng himpapaWID [MANDAWID]

"There's no such thing as MALTREATMENT only DISCIPLINARY ACTION."

That line will be found from the shirt that I'm using today, that my elder brother gave to me (honestly, bitaw gikuha ra naku bisag walay pananghid, tulon...aw...lols). Well, probably my shirt caught some of the people's eyes and read it. What does the line mean?

According to the Merriam Webster's Dictionary, maltreatment is 'to treat cruelly or roughly'. While, disciplinary action, which disciplinary means 'designed to correct or punish breaches of discipline'.

If we translate it to cebuano (binisaya bah), maltreatment is 'abuso', 'pangdagmal', or 'pagmaltrato'. While disciplinary action is 'aksyon sa pagdisiplina'. Is that correct? Well, what do you think about the line, do you already have an idea what does it really mean?

Is there really no such thing as MALTREATMENT when in fact many of the human race do exercise such act. Like what our OFWs are experiencing, working to foreign countries. They were treated wrongly. It had also led to death of some of our fellowmen. Maybe it do matter on what way it is done.

Disciplinary action, on the other hand, is made to discipline. Say a kid had done a mistake, his parents would probably be mad at him and eventually will lead to discipline the child, so that's DISCIPLINARY ACTION.

On both sides, the action should be considered. If someone does something wrong of course there is consequence that he will be facing. But then when a person does nothing and treated badly, that would be a different story.

Disciplinary action takes place when there is maltreatment...
