i would like to believe that it is an option, in the same way that those who go to other countries as immigrants is another option.  staying put, for some, or for the many, in fact, is definitely another option.  we all know that life is full of choices or options, each with its own advantages and sacrifices.  we only need to see which option fits us best and the price we have to pay for it.

saludo ko sa imong misis; di ambisyoso bahin ug kwarta.

daghan ang ni-abroad kay magtigom aron makatukod ug carenderia.  congratulations nga nakatukod ka nga naa ra ka sa inyo.

you ought to be glad that you achieved what you achieved without sacrificing your presence with your family.  kining silingan nimong niasenso (kunohay) kay ni-abroad, wa ta kahibawo basin ug taga-liog ilang utang.  trappings ra na; naay bayay mang-abroad (di tanan, please) nga di moadmitir nga palpak sila. 

prangkang estorya, naa koy mga kaila sa abroad nga inig-uli way lipod-lipod ug pangutang ni bisag kinsa basta lang naay ikapakita; padak-on ang balay, mopalit ug sakyanan, ug unsa pa diha.  turned-off gyod ko kay di na ra ba pakitag balik ang uban unya gitutyo na lang ang ilang utang.

Kining estorya sa ibog-ibog, kahinumdom lang hinuon ta sa fable nga The Frog and the Ox...


"Oh Father," said a little Frog to the big one sitting by the side of a pool, "I have seen such a terrible monster! It was as big as a mountain, with horns on its head, and a long tail, and it had hoofs divided in two."

"Tush, child, tush," said the old Frog, "that was only Farmer White's Ox. It isn't so big either; he may be a little bit taller than I, but I could easily make myself quite as broad; just you see." So he blew himself out, and blew himself out, and blew himself out. "Was he as big as that?" asked he.

"Oh, much bigger than that," said the young Frog.

Again the old one blew himself out, and asked the young one if the Ox was as big as that.

"Bigger, father, bigger," was the reply.

So the Frog took a deep breath, and blew and blew and blew, and swelled and swelled and swelled. And then he said: "I'm sure the Ox is not as big asBut at this moment he burst.

Self-conceit may lead to self-destruction.


:P

2 years ago, i returned to the philippines for the first time in 12 years. i arrived in manila international airport at about 1:00 AM, and commuted to manila domestic airport. The shuttled took me and an entire cohort of other OFWs to the MDA , arriving at about 1:30 AM.

The gates were still closed since they didn't open till 7:00 AM. To my surprise, i saw legions of OFWs sprawled out on the floor sleeping on carton boxes, clothes. I could see their balikbayan boxes they were carrying coming from distant lands such as "Saudi Arabia, UAE, Syria, France, Morocco, Israel, China, Germany, etc". The sounds of mothers and fathers talking, babies crying. I sat on the floor next to my 2 suitcases and observed the surrounding. The OFWs. One man , who sat next to me, asked me if i was coming from Saudi. lol. I think he assumed because i had a beard. I told him no and that i was coming form 'states. I asked him about his experiences in Saudi; we talked. Alot. Apparently he was a construction worker in Riyadh and that he hadn't been home for 3 years. He had 3 kids: 1 girl, 2 boys. He was from Cagayan De Oro. Talking to him and being around so many of the OFWs was very humbling for me.

God Bless our OFWs!

I fell asleep on the manila domestic airport and when i woke up, it was already 6:50 am. and boy everyone was already up and about. I went through the terminal and proceeded to walk to the seats that said "TO: Tagbilaran, Bohol". In my mind, i thought to myself, "am i really in manila?" it had been over an entire decade since i was HOME-HOME. Like, yea, i grew up in USA, but Philippines was my HOME-HOME. I was born there, and for the first 5 years of my life -- LIVED there.

So i sat on the seats, waiting, patiently then impatiently. Within an hour or so a Philippine Air Lines plane docked to the gate i was waiting in. "BOARDING". I got up, and boarded the plane. The people were so much smaller than i; ah, an effect of my 'american lifestyle'. it really made me self conscious of losing weight and also seeing the difference in abundance the usa is compared to the philippines.

The plane's departure from manila allowed me to have a full glimpse of the so called "Pear of the Orient", the City of Manila.

An hour and a half later, my eyes tracked the seas below the plane. The pilot announced, "Cebu is directly below us, we are now flying over Metro Cebu." Ah, Cebu. Queen City of the South. Then to my surprise, my heart jumped, i could see to the distance, faint shores. A couple of minutes later, we were flying over BOHOL ISLAND. I could see the fishing villages, huts on stilts on the water, the fog rising from the air, and to the center, i could see the exotic BOHOL CHOCOLATE HILLS. In my mind, I could not believe to be HOME. This is my HOME-HOME. Ahong yutang natawhan.

When we arrived, it was very surreal. I loved every minute , everyday that i was in BOHOL.

If I could, i would prefer to live in BOHOL than in usa. There is less stress being in Bohol than compared to living in Chicago. As I write this, i can still remember the smell of the exhaust coming from the pedicabs in downtown tagbilaran. the smell of bbq being grilled on the side, the sounds of kids and their parents, and the colloquial, "Baluuuut...Baluuuuut...Baluuuut!"

Now I know why OFWs rush to go home .... to be HOME.

2 years ago, i returned to the philippines for the first time in 12 years. i arrived in manila international airport at about 1:00 AM, and commuted to manila domestic airport. The shuttled took me and an entire cohort of other OFWs to the MDA , arriving at about 1:30 AM.

The gates were still closed since they didn't open till 7:00 AM. To my surprise, i saw legions of OFWs sprawled out on the floor sleeping on carton boxes, clothes. I could see their balikbayan boxes they were carrying coming from distant lands such as "Saudi Arabia, UAE, Syria, France, Morocco, Israel, China, Germany, etc". The sounds of mothers and fathers talking, babies crying. I sat on the floor next to my 2 suitcases and observed the surrounding. The OFWs. One man , who sat next to me, asked me if i was coming from Saudi. lol. I think he assumed because i had a beard. I told him no and that i was coming form 'states. I asked him about his experiences in Saudi; we talked. Alot. Apparently he was a construction worker in Riyadh and that he hadn't been home for 3 years. He had 3 kids: 1 girl, 2 boys. He was from Cagayan De Oro. Talking to him and being around so many of the OFWs was very humbling for me.

God Bless our OFWs!

Maayo unta kong inig uli sa OFW naay mga something makalipay ba,,,parehas anang connecting flight maghuwat pa sa airport pauli sa mga probinsya,,naa untay libreng katolganan,,dool sa airport,,,,manga ingon anang simple na butang nga unta buhaton sa goberno,,lipay na OFW ana,,,

You're right , Chris. I agree with you that the government should put some services for some OFWs during their wait.

I remember during my wait there, there was a family of OFWs (bisaya sila bc i could understand them) ning kaon sila (they bought food from the local vendors sa gawas). Ning offer pod sila nako og kanon-on kai naka kita sila that i was waiting pod. Na uwaw ko kai luoy pod sila, ingon ra ko nila, "Okey lang, inyoha ra lang na..." I was so touched by their kindness. They didn't even know who I was, yet they offered to share what little food they had.

Luoy pod intawn ang mga Pilipino...God bless our people !!!!

I fell asleep on the manila domestic airport and when i woke up, it was already 6:50 am. and boy everyone was already up and about. I went through the terminal and proceeded to walk to the seats that said "TO: Tagbilaran, Bohol". In my mind, i thought to myself, "am i really in manila?" it had been over an entire decade since i was HOME-HOME. Like, yea, i grew up in USA, but Philippines was my HOME-HOME. I was born there, and for the first 5 years of my life -- LIVED there.

So i sat on the seats, waiting, patiently then impatiently. Within an hour or so a Philippine Air Lines plane docked to the gate i was waiting in. "BOARDING". I got up, and boarded the plane. The people were so much smaller than i; ah, an effect of my 'american lifestyle'. it really made me self conscious of losing weight and also seeing the difference in abundance the usa is compared to the philippines.

The plane's departure from manila allowed me to have a full glimpse of the so called "Pear of the Orient", the City of Manila.

An hour and a half later, my eyes tracked the seas below the plane. The pilot announced, "Cebu is directly below us, we are now flying over Metro Cebu." Ah, Cebu. Queen City of the South. Then to my surprise, my heart jumped, i could see to the distance, faint shores. A couple of minutes later, we were flying over BOHOL ISLAND. I could see the fishing villages, huts on stilts on the water, the fog rising from the air, and to the center, i could see the exotic BOHOL CHOCOLATE HILLS. In my mind, I could not believe to be HOME. This is my HOME-HOME. Ahong yutang natawhan.

When we arrived, it was very surreal. I loved every minute , everyday that i was in BOHOL.

If I could, i would prefer to live in BOHOL than in usa. There is less stress being in Bohol than compared to living in Chicago. As I write this, i can still remember the smell of the exhaust coming from the pedicabs in downtown tagbilaran. the smell of bbq being grilled on the side, the sounds of kids and their parents, and the colloquial, "Baluuuut...Baluuuuut...Baluuuut!"

Now I know why OFWs rush to go home .... to be HOME.

mao gajod,,,,pero tan aw nako hayahay naman ka diha karon,,,na grasya man kag maayo sa US,,,

Bai Vistabel,

Gusto ko , pohon maluuy ang Ginoo, mo set up a medical clinic dinha sa Bohol. Daghan man ang oportunidad dinha sa Pinas og mo praktis ang mga tawo dinha. I was inspired by a friend (MD siya nga ning practice sa California, pero, he operates several medical clinics sa Pilipinas). Naa pod option mo establish a free-health clinic sa mga impoverished areas sa BOHOL. Ang importante mo establish ug networking sa mga organizations nga mo contribute og financial compensation sa proyecto.

When i was in Bohol, naka kita gayud ko sa mga disparities sa atong mga igsoon , especially sa mga tawo nga walay kwarta. I would like to truly work in establishing several clinics in BOHOL , ones that will provide much needed medical service for those who cannot afford. This is a goal in my life.

Bai Vist,

The reason why some Filipino doctors are going abroad is to "find greener pastures". A lot of MDs go back to nursing school because there is a higher demand for Filipino nurses than Filipino doctors in foreign countries. In the Philippines, an MD can make anywhere from P20k - P100k a month. In the UK, a doctor cane make anywhere from 10,000-15,000  pounds a month. In the USA, a doctor can make anywhere from $25,000-$100,000 a month . So, it makes sense why so many Pinoy Docs go abroad.

If money is the prime goal, mo gawas gajud ang mga MDs sa pilipinas. That is the reason why there is a substantial "diaspora" of Pinoy MDs from the Philippines.

I can only imagine the amount of sacrifice your parents made to send all of you guys abroad, pero am sure their hard work bore good fruit! 2 sisters and 1 brother in Texas eh? Have you ever visited them in Texas, Nong?

Nong Virgil, I remember seeing the pictures you took when you were a seaman, seems like it must have been very fun to work around the world. What an amazing profession -- to be able to see the world on a daily basis!

The last time I was home I visited Bohol, I visited the grave of my Lola Luz. Sentimental kaayo kai when I left Bohol in 1991, ingon siya nako, "Pag buotan, doy, magkita lagi ta pohon, mobalik ka ha?"

I kissed her and hugged her goodbye. Mama Luz.

We returned in 1995 for her funeral. And that was the last time I saw her. Ning hilak gajud ko Kai nawala na ahong Lola. I wanted to see her and talk to her again so much. I was so attached to her because she helped raise us kids.

Even now, if I close my eyes, I can still remember her voice and the smile on her face when I visited her as a child. Mo ingon baya to siya nako, " ari diri doy!!!" kusi-on ahong aping ! I miss her.

I always wanted to see the world (dili lang kutob sa retrato sa World Book Encyclopedia which I loved to read as a teen) but never jud ko nag plan nga mogawas. I was then very happy and contented with my life. Galing kay one day - wa tuyoa - nakalabay ko sa U.S. Consulate samtang naglakaw-lakaw gikan sa Perpetual Succor Hospital area didt sa Lahug, Cebu. Nangutana ko sa guard asa diay mo apply ug visa para America when he pointed his fingers upstairs at the same time giving me an application form. Dali-dali intawon kog fill up sa AF ug saka sa taas kay magpalagdas ug apply. Aw, palagdas jud diay, kay right there and then I was denied kay wala man diay koy passport, bwahahaha!!!  ;D 

The next time I went back to the consulate diha na koy passport pero denied lang gehapon ko 'cause I wrote Hollywood, CA (ga plano sigurong mag artista!!!) sa akong gustong adtoon sa 'merica, while in my Invitation Letter the address was Broadway St., San Francisco, CA. Bwahahaha!!!  ;D

Sukad ato... di na nuon ko makatog nga na denied ikaduha and I was intent (alomost willed it) nga one day matagaan ra jod kog visa. After the third attempt (mga 3 months after), wala naman hinoon ko interviewha by the same Consulate Officer and told me to wait where I was seated. Unya taud2x gitawag na man kos Pinay nga babaye sa pikas booth saying, "Mr. Lungay you're visa will expire in three months."

The rest is history... my one entry to the U.S. has now been 25 years!!! Thanks be to God!!!

Unya karon, mabuang na nuon kung di makauli'g Bohol... hahay buhay!!!  :P

My dad, who is a Civil Engineer, worked in Saudi Arabia for some 8 years and the catalyst for his work abroad was out of necessity. As most of you probably know, the salary grade for a Civil Engineer in the Philippines is 'OK', but it was necessary for dad to go abroad in order to support his siblings. As the eldest child of 7 kids, he had to take the mantle of 'head of the household' when his father died.


Dad worked as a Civil Engineer in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A picture of dad when he was around my age:

Father, isn't it amazing where our life's journey takes us ? From Bohol to the Great State of Louisiana ! :)

It's actually quite interesting that despite the 25 years in the United States, your heart still longs for Bohol. I guess it isn't wrong to assume, "Home is where the Heart is."

pArehas jd mo nawong sa imong papa sir...

At the age of only 21, my father took the mantle of head of the family when my grandfather passed away. He was still an Engineering Student at CIT during the time of my Papa Titing's sudden passing. Can you imagine, at age 21, he already assumed the mantle of Head of the Family.

Our family was blessed in that after my father's graduation, he immediately got accepted to a Civil Engineer position in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. My grandfather never was able to see my dad during his graduation. This is why I cherish and honor my father so much, because of the kinds of responsibilities he had to assume at such a young age.

Mao lagi it is right for us to 'honor and love' our parents because of the kinds of sacrifices they have made for us, their children. It is the right thing to do to Love, Honor our Parents.

Ang tawo Bisan ug asa magtrabaho ug usab ang sweldo dako kaayo ug dili kamoa mag budget sa kwarta wala guihapon mahitabo sa panginabuhi..pordoy guihapon..

niadtong nawad an kog trabaho nagapply pod ko para abroad pero way swerte kay wa ko dawata mao ra ba jud unta kadto ang akong line of work kay all around man ko basta mechanical. wa pod masayod si mrs. nga nagapply ko maong pagkahibaw nasuko nako kay dili kuno siya buot nga magkalayo ming duha total duha ra man pod among anak. so ningdawat na lang ko ug mga trabaho diri sa atoa nga mga odd jobs. pero kay kinahanglan man lagi nga modako ang kita aron makahuman ang mga bata nagtukod na lang ko ug carenderia. sa kalooy sa Ginoo nakahuman ang mga bata ug nakapundar pod ug gamay. naay mga tawo nga maayo kung naas abroad naa pod tawo nga maayog anhi na lang siguro sigun ra na sa swerte. pero ang akong paminaw mas maayo unta to ug nahinayon ko kay ang among silingan daghan na ug mga apartment ug nakatukod ug negosyo nga mga delivery trucks nga dagko kaayo ug kita.

Tinuod jud nang sulti nimo VRGLgwaps... tan-awa ehemplo ni Bolanon Kaaju maski nag-inato ra sa atoag luto2x successful man iyang kinabuhi ug pagpa eskwela sa iyang mga bata. Karon pwede na siya mo abroad, dili para mag trabaho kondili para mag lingaw2x og suroy2x, kana, kung feeling niya nga maoy buhaton.  ;)

dili lang kakogi ug swerte, kinahanglan pod nga magdaginot kita. tanawa nang mga intsik  sa kadugay na nato nga nakita ang ilang kinaiya nga pagkadaginotan pero hangtod karon wa pa gihapon natong mga pinoy makuhang maayong gawi nila. di mahimo nga kung dako ang atong kita dako pod ang atong gasto kinahanglan magdaginot aron ug anaay oportunidad nga maginvest naay ready cash nga magamit aron iinvest...
