Francesca in France

Bonjour!

I promised Kenjie and PEBA organisers that I will always support their cause of uplifting the value of OFWs.

I regularly visiting this site click here , and joined them by commenting and encouraging them to continue blogging.
Our own little way to combat homesickness of being away from our family and country.


Then I found out that there's misunderstandings in one of a blogger posting his opinion about OFWs.

I copy pasted this from Kenjies site: Please read. This might be your story too.Kenjie, copy paste ko s a blog mo eto , without your permission.
"Pagalitan" mo na lang ako mamaya,

Quote:"We regard Mr. Mike Avenue’s Pinoy Blog post on "Tsokolate" as one that lacked research and a flagrant ignorance of the truth about Overseas Filipino workers and expatriates.

"We regard this lack of truth and ignorance as especially inexcusable from one who feigns intelligence and high learning and coax people into belief and following.

We regard his statements: “minumura ng amo kapalit ng dolyar” and “humahalik sa paa ng mga dayuhan” as blatant mockeries of the sacrifices of the Overseas Filipino Workers and expatriates and are hasty generalizations of the living and working conditions of the Filipino expatriates and OFWs." Unquote

Im for peace and if possible I try to understand the person(s) degrading the OFWs despite of one's flaws.
But the thing is, hindi ata tama yung sabihing: minumurà, humahàlik sa paa ng mga dayuhan ang OFWs


Here's my analysis.

Si Mr Mike, i dont know him. So I dont judge him, baka maya he is better off than me, personality wise.

What I would like to say is:

Sa Pinas ba, hindi humahalik (crawling for favors )ang mga employees sa employers nila?

Mr Mike Avenue.. not all crawls,
not àll nàgpàpàmurà sà àmo,
not all kiss the feet of the Boss,
not àll cràwled ànd lost their dignity,
not all are what you think OFWs are.

Its just a matter of choices.
Be reàlistic.
Maybe Mike, you dont know...

But, I feel it is better to kiss the feet of the Boss and earn dollars than kissing their feet and earning only in pesos.


Bow.
