Very nice docu, it's so nice to have saved all your materials and I like your interviews so raw so true , it's quite demoralizing though but hey that's life I just wish that one day it is going the other way around. I wish that in the near future , we won't have to go outside our country for greener pasture. Filipinos are hardworking resilient race we can survive anywhere , but I just don't know why it is so different here? mabuhay ang pinoy! again I'd like to commend you for a great video.

This is really well done - you did a good job.

It would be nice if this were airred on tv at some point.

Has anyone asked to air this? here in the Philippines?

Just like many Chinese, nationalities are just jokes. International organizations take only people with background and establishments. They will not solve any problem for the poorest. They think economy first yet they don't even know how to build economy for these people. Social studies in school is kind of wasting people's time so no one would know how to do it. Don't beg. These programs need penetration strategies as popular cultures to blend people amongst the needed and the educated.
