In the 70s, hindi pa tayo nag-eexport ng mga maids, kaya nire-respeto tayo sa Middle East at sa buong mundo. Ngayon, 21sth century na, more than 25 years since Imelda visited Saddam in Iraq to start sending Pinoys and Pinays to work as OFWs, anong nangyari sa mga babae natin sa Middle East? Andaming naging puta-puta! Ang Pakistan, India at Bangladesh - mga bansang mas mahirap pa sa atin - ay hindi nagpapadala ng mga babae nila para maging katulong sa ibang bansa. Bakit tayo hinahayaan natin?

@nanamouskourri76 .... Please be informed that during the Marcos times, ang pinapadala natin sa ibang bansa, especially sa Middle East, ay mga skilled workers at engineers na nagtratrabaho sa mga infrastracture projects. Karamihan sa kanila ay nasa empleyo ng mga Filipino construction companies na may mga project sa mga bansang tulad ng Iraq at Saudi Arabia. Ang pagpapadala ng domestic workers ay nagsimula lamang noong kalagitnaan ng dekada 80, sa ilalim ng sumunod na pangsiwaan.

Marcos is the best Pres. its the ambitious , selfish oppositions who only think of enriching their families is the responsible of ruining the philippines as well as the filipinos ....democracy has not yet return in the PHILIPPINES don't believed in their propaganda..look who's getting richer now , are they helping the many poor filipinos? no... Imelda have many programs that help the poors.. they maybe corrupts but at least they spread it to the many filipinos not only to their families...

if the u.s. had the diplomacy as the marcos' s did back then maybe the terrorism and problems the u.s. had would be less. especially if the marcos's today had the power the once had, it time they people or history will finally show that propaganda and religious leaders along the side of communists and Non supporters of the Americans and U.S. bases who Marcos was aligned with and what the Aquino Govt. and church did to ruin the Republic of Philippines economy, even the banks R Chinese Run!

This woman is a THIEF and LIAR. She has no soul. She is still alive but already burning in hell.

And on the way to Baghdad and again on the way back to Manila, Imelda Marcos shopped and shopped till she dropped in Paris, Milan, London, and New York using the money of the Filipino people.

@buboyski2 - Sa sobrang dami ng maids natin sa buong mundo, natuto na tayong tanggapin ang kapalaran nating maging katulong. Hindi na tayo nahihiya na nag-e-eexport tayo ng maids; binibigyan pa natin ng right justification na malinis na trabaho yon. Of course malinis na trabaho yon, pero anong klaseng bansa ang nag-papadala ng mga babae sa ibat ibang panig ng mundo para mag-katulong? Yung ang bansang walang dignidad, wala ng honor. Ganyan tayo....

Kung aasa ang bansa natin sa kita ng OFW, walang mangyayari sa natin. Habang buhay na lang tayo magkakatulong sa mga Arabo, Intsik, Europeans, etc. Kailangan natin palaguin ang ekonomiya natin by using our resources. Sadly, we do not have a good government and excellent leaders to do that. Marcos was great but corrupt. Cory was honest but dumb. Ramos was great but his term was so short. Estrada succeeded against MILF but was corrupt. Arroyo was corrupt too. Kawawang bansa natin!

@redsmith000 - of course, walang masama sa pagiging maid, dahil malinis na trabaho yon. Pero hindi ba mas maganda kung WALANG PILIPINANG MAID? May nakita ka bang European, American or Japanese maid? wala di ba? Kung pagagandahin natin ang takbo ng ekonomiya natin, di na natin kailangan mag-export ng maids. Nakakahiya talaga kung ang mga teachers at pati school principals natin ay magtatrabaho bilang maid sa ibang bansa.

i stayed @ taiwan, hongkong, and singapore..

pinay maids meron.. malaysian maid meron, indonesian maid meron, thai maid meron, bangladeshi maid meron, vietnamese maid meron,.. trabaho yan.. wag ikahiya.. my mom use to ba a maid before sa HKG. and im not going to be ashamed about that..

[redsmith000]

@nanamouskourri76 most of Islam state country don't allow women to work and they're not even allowed to vote.... and im sure they would like work even as a house-helper abroad if they could.. my mom worked as a OFW back in 1976.. and i cant see anything wrong about that..

info for you: 1/3 of Philippines economy is beefed up by ofw remittances.. so totoy, thats the bitter pill for us to take para umikot ang economiya natin.. magpasalamt ka na lang..
