Isa raw sa bawat sampung Pilipino ang naghahangad na makalabas ng bansa para guminhawa ang buhay ng kanilang pamilya. Habang may ilan namang dayuhan, na nabibighani at nagpapasyang manirahan sa ating bansa. Sanay sa marangyang buhay ang marami sa kanila.
Pero sa isang iglap, nagbago ang kanilang estado. Nawalan ng trabaho. Nalustay ang yaman. Nagbago ang pananaw sa buhay. At hindi na nakabangon pa. Tila hindi na nga sila naiiba sa maraming Pilipino
ng isang kahig, isang tuka araw-araw. Kulay at pananalita na lang ang hindi nagbago sa kanila.
Ang dating marangyang banyaga, sila na ngayong DAYUHANG DUKHA.

Last Sunday Night, I think I read a tweet on my twitter timeline (I don’t know who tweeted it and I’m sorry (haha), about what was being shown on GMA News TV. I am not actually a fan of GMA, but I love watching some docu, now this show, Reel Time was tackling about those foreigners who went to the Philippines and ended up having none.
What I loved about this docu was I admire those foreigners that even if they really struggle, even if they are left with almost nothing and struggling to survive they still try to look on the brighter side and they never stop from being positive.
Here’s also the thing that I want we Filipinos should learn or realize: We should not take any advantage of other people, foreigners or not. Yes, some Filipinos are not treated very well abroad but that doesn’t mean that we should do the same.,I mean.. let us not be blinded that even if those people came from a very rich land that doesn’t mean that we should take advantage of them. I know we have our own needs, but may we all ask for help in the best way rather than getting almost what those people have. That is not fair.
This documentary broke my heart but at the same time inspired me in so many ways. I hope there is a link where we can all watch this documentary again.
Kudos to the people who made this documentary, you guys made a great decision of showing us something new. Something we havent seen.

This touched me too. Marathons and triathlons are popular in Angeles and Subic lately, the first two guys could find work there as race marshalls.
ReplyDeleteAnd Kurt, the American yacht captain could find work in Subic Bay Yacht club. They have races and regattas there sometimes and some owners could be looking for captains...
