No to Domestic Jobs for Filipino

@4summernight: My dream is to unleash all Filipino domestic employees out from their foreign employers and exterminate the domestic jobs. Ask me why.

I guess its normal on Facebook feeds to see Filipino's confessing their struggle with their domestic employers. We could see their unacceptable pain and agony on how they are being treated which is similar to slaves. Most of them are being bitten, raped, slapped, tortured and poured with hot boiling water. It's not enough that our embassy saved them but to exterminate jobs opportunities for domestic helpers.

I understand that the work it self is a decent job but I would like to enlarge everyone's thinking that it degrades us and we let our own brother and sister put in a box as if that is their only capabilities. Have you ever seen any Western Nationality work as domestic helper? If the answer is not, then why there is a huge asian country who work as one? The problem here is that, they are all victims that this work is the only opportunity for them to elevate their lives that by being slaves to another foreign family will provide enough money to create their lives sufficiently. 

If the government and the community are effectively educating this people about many great length of opportunity other than being a domestic helper, I would definitely gonna guarantee that there would be no domestic helper being battered, there would be no victim's creating videos and showing how they're being devastated anf hopelessly asking for help. 

We elevate our selves as a highest form  of being and acknowledge that learning is infinite. Everyone has an options, if the government is very reluctant to let us put into this circumstances many people will still go abroad and make themselves slaves.

I hope the leaders on our country could be able to read this and not just argue that it will harm the economy. The people are the most important consideration a government should taken care of, there should be zero compromisation when it comes to its people's security.

JOBS IN DUBAI 101


A few months back, I got a message from my childhood friend about him going abroad which it happens to be the same country where I was; Dubai.

He is really excited to migrate and start to work which is normal for first timers. I've seen constant post of him telling his excitement and happiness to be in a different country. I guess this is a normal disposition of human being, we are happy to celebrate events which would be a stepping stone into our dreams.

His visa is a tourist for a month, it means that he has a 30 days to look for a job. This is an old system of people travelling here. The country is open to all its visitors. The first 2 weeks was really hard, although his feeling is on the rush with positive vibes to get a stable job and great offer. The problem is there are too many fish on the sea willing to squeeze inside a can. The competition is undeniably the hardest, you need to have the basic skills which are acceptable communication and the angst to give growth to the company or else go back to your home country. A little harsh it might sound but its reality.

Most people wasn't able to make the requirements, they are unlucky to get job on the given short duration of time. Now, where do they go? They take the courage to stay in an isolated island like Qeshm and Kish, waiting for another month to get their second chance (an issued visa). 

This is the cycle of opportunities here, make it good and then you will get the job. Remember, if you are planning to go abroad for greener pasture. Do your very best to grab on to something you can hold on into. You need to be smart not usually by books but how you deal with people.

By the way, that childhood friend of mine my was able to get a job. He is now working in an hotel with a reputed company. I guess it pays to be hard-working and persistent. I told him that if you want sometimes you will continuously do whatever it takes to get that opportunity.
