fourtyounce48 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 You people need to relax. Dont take things so personally. Rather be open minded in that theres a different side to everything. One of you soley dwells on the negatives of being a balikbayan and another prefers to see the positive qualities of living abroad. Both can co-exist and the same time. Quote Link to comment

lomex32 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) Sadeeq, Mansour James I am not so sure what post of mine you refer.... But before you burst that bubble .... i want to say that I just equally pitty those who downsize our fellow kababayans aborad FYII have been active volunteer for Consul/Embassies/Labor Attache to where i have been to...... nations of which majority are FILIPINA domestic helpersFund Raising, community gathering, counselling <-- not like those socialized OFW events Moreso i have personally defended ON THE SPOT Filipinas who were downsized by any sheethead which some lame Pinoys would have not done so ----------------------------------------------------- I may have seen perhaps what you may have misunderstood TRY READING THE CONTEXTThis is the effect of entertaining a poster trying to catch attention .... by barging and argument over a WIKIPEDIA definition of a blikbayan ..... Obviously the exchanges i have was with another friend of ours I made an WEBSTER who made GRUESOME definition of a FILIPINO .... just like this WIKI WIKI's.... in short i just Dont Buy It....I hope this clears this up with u Did you know that WEBSTER (Yes the dictionary) sometime back defined FILIPINA = Domestic Helper? Your limited brain may have easily agreed to this.Now you are giving us this wiki wiki of yours referring to sir lomex32 post, nasaktan ang aking damdamin sa kanyang nasabi na ang FILIPINA ay katumbas nang DOMESTIC HELPER ... ganyan na po ba kababa ang tingin ninyo sa kapwa filipino nyo ? pag paumanhin po ninyo sir lomex32, pero ang mga tulad po ninyo ang nagbaba sa tingin nang ating mga kababayan na nagtratrabaho nang marangal sa ibang bansa para lamang ipagtaguyod ang kanilang mga anak at pamilya ... hindi po como karamihan sa kanila ay mga walang pinag aralan o kapos sa kaalaman ay ganun na po sila kababa sa ating komunidad ... meron rin po silang dignidad na naitatabi ... pasensya na po ... dati rin po kasi akong OFW sa middle east ... humihingi po ako nang paumanhin na rin sa ating mga admins/mods kung medyo naiba na ang tema nang "thread" na eto ... gusto ko lamang po i-tama ang pananaw nang ating mga kababayan at itaas ang antas nang ating mga kapwa pilipinong nagtra trabaho sa ibang bansa ...

james_bandido Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 sir lomex32, i may have read your post wrongly, and i stand corrected on that ... all points taken and with due respect, but that doesn't mean "i have a limited brain" ... ADMINS/MODS : if you see fit that this post does not warrant to be in this thread please delete it ... thank you ... Quote Link to comment
lomex32 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) My apologies as well ...... Someone here used that "Limited" term and now it is all over this thread ====================================================Sad but true some individuals belittle OFW's DH and alike .... Those who think that only Professional middle class Pinoys are OFWs or BALIKBAYANS are like those who would likely belittle them .... Take note "Likely" Allow me to share some -----------------------------Flight from Taipei Taiwan going back after my brief trip on a Christmas week ....I was seated next to a Filipina DH on my left who had a bad experience over her employer and has to return back after only 4 months.. On the far left was also a Filipina DH going for a vacation back home...They were so happy looking at their faces ..... and they once in a while go to the lavatory.. I noticed that a veteran Pinay Flight attendant was impolite to the 2 and others... she actslike a prison guard commanding the ladies to stand in line blah blah .... with an appropriate voicefor a FA .... I just have the urge then that this FA must have something to hear When she passed by me on the aisle I politely told her and softly ..." I know your job is tough but the jobs these ladies have perhaps are tougher than ours .... they perhaps deserve some nice treatment... after all its Christmas" She mellowed down since then... as my eyes followed her around the aircraft ....... the Filipina noticed that I said something to MADAM HELGA ... and she had idea what it was by giving me a smile and a shaking head------------------------------ It was a Sunday morningThere were 2 lady kababayans enjoying a take-out meal on a public park .....They were so kind to offer me what they were having ... I gave them my thanksand said that i love to but i have to go .... Just before i would ... I noticed an Indian looking fellow was SWEEPING at this park, right on the direction of the ladieseven right under the tables that they were eating ... There were 2 things on my mind1. The fellow was trying to be nice or to get closer to the ladiesor2. He seemed disturbed by the ladies at the tables on the park he is cleaning After the dust an leaves came flying out ... almost to the food they were having I wasted no time accosting the sweeping fellow and ask him what the hell he was doing ....I did not understand what he said but i knew he uttered something unpleasant to the hearing.. and give him a 2-hand slap which almost popped his eyes out of his sockets... and just before I go i told him to respect Filipinas or any individuals at that parkonwards... so much for a sunday morning sir lomex32, i may have read your post wrongly, and i stand corrected on that ... all points taken and with due respect, but that doesn't mean "i have a limited brain" ... ADMINS/MODS : if you see fit that this post does not warrant to be in this thread please delete it ... thank you ... Edited August 8, 2006 by lomex32 Quote Link to comment

muffy69 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 At maraming balikbayan din: - ang nakakatulong mapagtapos mag-aral ang mga anak, o kapatid o kamag-anak; - ang nagdadag ng dolyar (at iba pang klase ng pera ) sa 'pinas bawat uwi nila mula sa America o kung saan pang ibang bansa; - ang parating handang magpadala ng pera pag may "national disaster" sa 'pinas. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
