The Empowered Filipina trailer

Over the years, Filipinas working overseas have been greatly stereotyped and put in a negative light.

This documentary follows a collective group of global Filipinas who have been deeply affected by these issues and how they chose to respond by sharing the positivity, and the advocacy of a common mission -- uplifting the morale of Filipinas everywhere.

Catch the full length premiere on 27th March, Godolphin Ballroom, Emirates Towers, Dubai.

@timboktso One problem with this is even though many of them actually DO have degrees and doctorates (some had respectable jobs in the Philippines) sometimes these are not recognized in some places. I have an aunt who used to be a doctor in the Philippines, and resorted to coming to Canada as a care-giver because it was the only way for her to leave the country and help her family. Also, I think it's wrong for these domestic workers to be treated like second-class citizens in the first place.

Wow! Whats beautiful about all you Filipinas is that you have all the reason in the world to know you stand out above all. If your character called for it you might stick your nose up in the air in vanity, but no..... instead you are so very conservative, modest, sweet and loving. I love your country and your people, have been there four times and have in laws there, my wife and our li'l Filam w/me here. God Bless the Philippines!!

I'm a caucasian guy married to a Filipina going on 10 yrs. now. In my opinion there are absolutely NO women anywhere in the world who can compare to them. They are without a doubt the most beautiful, sweet, down to earth intelligent women with outstanding values.

Of course there are bad people in all categories but over all they beat all! As for the slave trade and Filipina's attempt to improve their Families lives by going to work abroad? We need to support them in every way we can.

I want to see this! I love documentaries. I am a filipina and I live in new england. Does anyone know where I can see this?

[timboktso]

don't get me wrong. I love Filipinas, I think they are among the most beautiful women in the world, but when I hear Filipinas lamenting the fact that they are perceived as domestic helpers I can't help but think, "who's to blame" ? You all need to work together to get out of that stereotype. STOP applying for domestic helper jobs and go for jobs that use or highlight your degree and your worth. It'll be hell for a moment, but you all will get through it in time.

To all those Western Men that have a negative opinion of filipinas-because you met a scammer. All women are bitches. I been with white, black, asian, latinas and every one is a bitch at some level. You gotta find a woman in Church and even she can be a bitch too.
