To Employers of Domestic Helpers

Rich Kid's' Facebook post of Pinay DH stirs outrage

Browsing my Facebook account and seeing different kinds of bullying from other countries in my own country men. I am not a domestic helper and I don't have any domestic helper relatives abroad. But I am deeply hurt by those people who seems to be proud to say that they're extravagantly rich and could afford to belittle anyone they know.

I want to ask myself why other people looks down on domestic helpers that much as if they are the lowest kind of people? Don't you know that we only have corrupt politicians but Philippines can be richer than your country. Who knows?

But then I know there's a reason why things happen the way we don't want to. We are building our deep and strong character of perseverance to achieve our dreams, courage to fight despite of the opposition, hope that we are on the right track, and faith to believe that there is nothing impossible with God.

We may not be as rich as what these people have in the world but we know we are blessed more than all the material things in the world could offer. Yes, we can be your domestic helper, "your Filipina" but you will never own our love for our God, our love for our families, our love for our friends, our love even for the strangers, and our love for our country. We may go to different countries to work hard for a living but we would ALL chose to go back and live in a paradise of faith.
