I guess its one way their sponsors of saying “Thank You” for
buying their chocolate bars and whiskies as “pasalubong” to your love ones (my
wife bought these stuffs only because of the free umbrellas and travel bags
that goes with it).
For me and to their families at least, every OFW and pinoy expatriates
are “outstanding”. They are the reason “kuya”, “ate” and “nene” finished
college. They may not be their to be among us in times of celebration and difficulties. But the “hamon” and “mansanas” during Christmas and paid medical bills of “tatay”,
“nanay” or “lolo” and “lola” are reminders enough of their presence. They are
the very reason why the Philippines
is surviving while other nation suffers in these global financial crises.
So, if you think your pastor in your weekly “alive” group deserves
it or the sports organizer of your “samahan” warrants recognition, you may
submit their names here. Deadline of entries is until February 29.
May the “winners” worthy of the accolades.
Ikaw ba eh nomintaed din? Gusto mong i-nominate kita? Hehehe
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! You just made my day, sheng!
DeleteDo you think I really need that kind of recognition?
>: D

Deletepasasalamat palang panalo nah..:)
ReplyDeleteTsong, alin ang panalo? Yung libreng tsokolate? >: D
DeleteSila nga ang mga modern heroes sa Pinas! I'v seen some of them work two or three jobs just to be able earn enough money to send home. Many of their relatives are not aware of their hardships and sacrifices and some of them keep asking for more "foreign aid". Akala nila kinukuha lang ito sa Money Tree LOL.
ReplyDeleteYan kasi ang "concept" ng karamihan sa Pinas. Ang 'merika is a land of milk and honey.
Deletewhat you said is spot on. I recall many years ago, in the late 80's, the most outstanding Global Pinoy was a dancer :)
ReplyDeleteNo sense in having a competition on this one. Every Pinoy who goes abroad and helps his family as you alluded to is already outstanding.
Baka naman he/she handily saved the economy thru sheer "pakending-kending" and splitting of legs.
