we once sat next to an old (70s) filipina on our trip back to the Philippines when we used to live in Michigan. we got to talking and she was complaining about the "orders for pasalubongs" of her family. Her dead husband was american( don't know if 2nd husband or if she was a great aunt). she was saying "kung ako nga sa walmart lang bumibili ng damit eh ang mga order nila adidas, oakley etc... pagod na pagod na ako kalilinis ng mga bahay". i think she was a housekeeper and you can really feel how tired she was of still having to work. i asked her where she was planning on retiring and she said she's been sending money to her family for years and that they were supposed to have built a swimming pool resort in her home province. she said " basta pag nag retire ako diyan, dapat tapos na ang resort na yan at diyan ako titira..." i hope her family really used the money for that. i felt so bad for her. her family has been treating her as an atm for years , still having to work in her 70s and living on her own in a small town in MI.
Love yourself more than anyone else ( kahit family pa,) have a life hindi lang puro trabaho para dika ma burn out. Im blessed enough na twing friday nag uusap kami ng sibling ko with my mom, tapos kahit walang kwenta lang pinag uusapan namin, yung sasabihin ng nanay ko bye na puro kabulastugan na sinasabi nyo 😂😂😂, sabi nga ni Maam, focus on the things you can control, let them know what you feel in a nice way. And family is still a family.
Not all, maybe mostly and the Filipino culture extended family mula Aparri hanggang Jolu.I came from humble beginning but I made sure I secured my future till my retirement .I helped my parents and my siblings to certain extend. Not forever. Yung trabaho nga may retirement alangan naman yung pagtulong walang retirement.
@stocksmarts_ both my parents passed away and my siblings are older than me. They have to find ways how to take care of themselves.We only live a life we created for ourselves unless we're a trust fund babies.
@stocksmarts_ They will find ways to take care of themselves. There are 2 ways to help. 1. Help them so they can start on their own . 2. To enable them meaning, you will support them forever.
😂😂😂 gogo ka ofw ako nga patigasan .kahit sabihan pako d ko madala sa langit atleast anak ko d maghirap pag mamatay ako.d un panay bigay ano ano hingiin .pati bag na mahal tas ako bag ko galing sa amo lang.😅
I have family abroad, pero walang buraot. Umuuwi dahil gustung magkita kita. Walang pabili or padala required. Yung mga ganyan ang buladas, dapat kinacut na. Walang masamang tumulong kaso minsan nagiging expectation eh. Ikaw pa masama pag 'kulang'.
kami pong mag asawa hindi kmi nag abroad, nag bisnes po lng kmi, s ngaun po meron n kmi 2 tindahn gen.mdsg., 1uv express at 5 paupahan, may st. peter, insurance, kaunting gold at kaunting ipon din po incase of emergency🙏
Masyadong mababait ang mga Pilipino. Kahit asawa ko nga pahiram ng pahiram ng pera kasi pag may lumapit daw, di raw nya maatim na ‘meron’ naman daw sya tapos sasabhin nya wala. Eh yung pera na yun ay emergency funds namin. Tapos magkakaroon ng emergency, sya pa mangungutang para macover ang emergency namin. Nakkainis na nakakairitang ugali na di mo maintindihan!
Exactly! Walang awa family na friend ko. She's a data analyst in HK. Ganda Ng trabaho. But she can barely buy anything for herself dahil mataas na bilihin sa HK Yung pamilya pa nya puro guilt trip. Kailagan pampaaral SA kapatid. HELLO buhay pa Parehas magulang nya. WTH. SA hirap Ng kaibigan KO hinde sya maka upon for retirement. Hayup talaga
My own exp.gumising ako non alam kona gagatasan ako.aba d pde un wla akong maitabi.kahit sabihin nila wla akong naipundar na mkita ng tao hehhe .cmpre lowkey lang ako d ako showy.pagawa ako bahay kubo nga lang basta may maisaing ako at may HMO AT INSURANCES AKO .OK NA
Ramdam ko yan,pag shod na mga ganado magkwento pero pag ordinary day di mahagilap😂.sabi ko nga galingan nyo naman maghanap buhay,kamustahin nyo naman aq kahit d sweldo, kahit ask nyo ko ano ulam ko dis day?
what reminds me of this video is that as an OFW we need to stick to our plan & plan to escape the rat race
I agree with this

That is sad. This has to stop
@stocksmarts_ i wonder whatever happened to her. this was 18 yrs ago.
