Filipina diaspora, circa 2005

Kudos to Canada. I think this is only the rich country in the world which provides opportunity for a “nanny” to become a citizen. Also, they don’t indenture that person to just being a nanny of the petitioner but rather, with easy limitations she is free to work elsewhere and can pursue further education. The only catch is that for whatever reasons, they don’t “recruit” directly in the Philippines but rather they “hijack” Pinays who are already deployed as such mostly in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore probably to insure that they have already the “experience”.

It is of public knowledge that many Pinay nannies are not really nannies but professionals who are underemployed or are jobless because they are not lucky enough to be cum laudes, graduates of prestigious schools or know somebody in a company. Given this situation, we might as well open a new “course” in college to be called let’s say “Bachelor of Social Science in Nannology” (BSSN) or maybe for a high sounding effect or political correctness “Bachelor of Science in Domestic Management” (BSDM) with majors in baby sitting, elderly care, etc. and minors in laundry, dishwashing, ironing, vacuuming, etc. We will certainly monopolize the nanny profession in the whole worldand with a worldwide remittances of around 120 billion dollars annually going first to their families but ultimately to the pockets of the 10% rich minority no doubt we will be in the category of the First World nations by itself. No need to self-promote as Arroyo is doing.

To insure continued supply, let’s stop family planning and instead of birth control let’s give the population free levitra, viagra and the likes. Prostitutes and women working in sauna baths and massage parlors should be forcibly sequestered and given free “housing” open to everybody “high” on viagras and be given a reward of the equivalent a congressman’s annual salary (they have the same I.Q.anyway) for every baby girl she gives birth to. Prostitution is therefore eliminated because the woman will not be permitted to accept money for her “service”. Or better yet, have a treaty with China that all their unwanted girl fetuses be not aborted and instead exported to the Philippines after birth to be trained and exported to the whole world as nanny latter.

Then, after 20 or so years the Philippines could already possess the technology to develop about 4 nuclear bombs enough to be aligned with nuclear countries. Then the 4 bombs should be strategically placed: 2 in Luzon, 1 in Visayas and 1 in Mindanao and be detonated simultaneously and hopefully all other nuclear nations follow suit. These will solve all our problems!!! No more inequality, injustice, no more 36 millions Pilipinos skipping a lunch or dinner, no more poverty, no more 10% rich minority controlling the lives and destiny of the 90%, no more illegitimate presidents, no more spineless congressmen, no more corruption and cha-cha is unnecessary. ALL PROBLEMS… SOLVED!!!

What our mothers, sisters, wives and friends have to go through to make a living in foreign lands. Is this a full accounting? It would be interesting to know the number of women not on this list, such as the 17 year old Pinay OFW who was recently abused in Kuwait.

What percentage of these women on the list are discriminated against and who are kept in the dark of their rights? Out of the 10 million Filipino OCWs and OFWs, if only 1 percent of them are abused, that equates to 100,000 Filipinos Abused. The tradeoff for feeding the matching 40 million Filipinos supported by the 10 million abroad. Are these hard facts?
