You'll Never Know Until You Dig Their Clan

It's been a week of documentary film broadcasted on Omni TV Channel for the past 5 days regarding the Filipina Domestic Helpers in Canada. I watched it the very first day waiting for the next hour whether there will be a Korean drama next because "The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop" has ended.

Anyway, this documentary film was about those Filipina helpers in Canada wanting to stay as "Permanent Residents." I think their "right to stay" battle was brought up before the year 1985.

Nothing's wrong with them staying for as long as they came in through the legal process and they didn't committed any crime. I think had it mentioned their plight before in another post.

I remember in 1990 in Hong Kong when a massive daily advertisements on TV that Canada was open for new immigrants from Hong Kong. Canada was aiming for the rich Chinese from HK to migrate to Canada, meaning it's about BUSINESS and TRADE they are after.  Check out the National Geographic issue of such "immigration" to find out, only if you are very interested.

What about those new immigrants in the Philippines during Martial Law?  OMG! That was long, long time ago when you thought those people they are banned from entering the Philippines were Filipinos because of the color of their skin and their faces as if they are Filipinos but they are not. Meaning: "Akala mo Filipinos pero hindi pala!" Mukha lang silang Filipino pero hindi sila tunay na Filipino. Yung akala mo Chinese, pero tunay na Filipinos pala at yung angkan nila eh 100 years old na sa Philippines. Yung akala mo mga Spanish, mga mestiza at mestizo na yung clan nila more than 200 years old na sa Philippines yun ang akala mo mga foreigners, sila pala ang mga tunay na mga Filipinos at Filipinas. Nakakaloka ba?
