Kaming nasa labas nang bansa!
How do you see us? This is a good answer from my mailbox;
Akala ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas kapag nasa America,
Canada, Australia , london , New Zealaand ka, akala nila
madami ka ng pera. Ang totoo, madami kang utang, dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili mo ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card para magka-credit history ka, kase kapag hindi ka umutang o wala kang utang, ibig sabihin wala kang kapasidad magbayad.
Akala nila mayaman ka na kase may kotse ka na. Ang totoo,
kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse maglalakad ka ng milya-milya
sa ilalim ng init ng araw o kaya sa snow. walang jeepney, tricycle o padyak sa mga bansang ito.
Akala nila masaya ang buhay sa mga bansang ito, Ang totoo, puro ka trabaho, kase pag di ka nagtrabaho, wala kang pambayad ng bills mo sa kotse, credit cards, ilaw, tubig, insurance, bahay at iba pa. Hindi ka na pwedeng tumambay sa kapit-bahay, kase busy din sila maghanap-buhay pangbayad ng bills nila..
Akala nila masaya ka kase nagpapadala ka ng pictures mo sa DisneyLand , Seaworld, SixFlags, Universal Studios, Snow, Beach, mga magagandang tanawin at iba pang attractions. Ang totoo, kailangang ngumiti ka, kasi nagbayad ka para makarating ka dun.
Akala nila malaki na ang kinikita mo kase dolyar na sweldo mo. Ang totoo, malaki pagpinalit mo ng peso, pero dolyar din
ang gastos mo, Ibig sabihin ang dolyar mong kinita sa presyong dolyar mo din gagastusin. Ang 15.00 pesos na sardinas sa Pilipinas $1.00 sa mga bansang ito, and isang pakete ng sigarilyo sa Pilipinas 40.00, sa mga bansang ito ay $6.50, ang upa mo sa bahay na P10,000 sa Pilipinas, sa mga bansang ito ay $1,000.
Akala nila buhay milyonaryo ka na kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo. Ang totoo milyon ang utang mo. Ang bago mong kotse 5 taon mong huhulugan o higit pa. Ang bahay 30 taon mong huhulugan. Ibig sabihin, alipin ka ng bahay at kotse mo.
Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa mga bansang ito . Lalo na mga nurses, mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa
Pilipinas. Madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. Pag dating ng sweldo mo, kulang pa sa pagkain mo.pero ganuon din sa ibang bansa katulad sa mga bansang ito. hindi ibig sabihin dolyar na ang sweldo mo, yayaman ka na, kailangan mo ding magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa.
Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag-alis mo sa bansang pinagsilangan at malungkot iwanan ang mga mahal sa buhay. Hindi pinupulot ang pera o pinipitas. Hindi ako naninira ng pangarap, gusto ko lang buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan. HE...HE...HE... ang mahirap pa sa mga bansang ito pag dito ka tumanda dadalhin ka lang sa BAHAY NA PURU MATATANDA ANG KASAMA MO at dito muna uubusin ang nalalabi mong buhay....di katulad sa pinas kahit matanda kana makakasama mopa ang mga anak at apo mo. WALA NA PANG GAGANDA SA BUHAY PINAS KAHIT NAHIHIRAPAN TAYO SA BUHAY. KAYA PAG-ISIPAN NINYO MABUTI KUNG GUSTO NIO D2 SA MGA BANSANG ITO.
