discirmination is something i want to think a story of the past.. but as humans we really can't take this away from us..
when treating other people or other nationalities.. i'm not saying that its something that we cannot change but its something that we have to change.. we are in the verge of a global community and in general its a very social concern in every part of the world. but mind u\you guys it is still existing. Im voicing this out because my fellow filipinos working abroad as nannies, nurses and other blue collar job workers are not being treated well.. im not saying all of them but there are still countries or nationalities who are really racists and inhumane.. not only filipinos who are working abroad but all those migrants who work to more develop countries for their families back home and for a good life to their families. I would like to know if these people who are hiring migrant workers appreciate the work people give them.. basically they can't do it themselves that's why they're hiring someone to work for them.. who do you is more helpless?? do u think if all filipinos would go home from the different jobs they are hired in different countries all this nurses, engineers, seamen, nannies, architects, chefs and many other jobs...what will happen to the economy of hongkong who literally most of its middle class hire nannies from the philippines for their kids would be affected??most of the japanese or norweigan ships manned by most filipinos, where would they go??how can trade to other countries will be affected??or those nurses working in american and european hospitals and home care centers??how would think it would affect their healthcare system??or those men and engineers working in oil rigs in the middleeast??who would sustain the economy of the gulfstates..
im not saying that without filipinos or migrant workers these countries will not survive..but i'm just asking for the appreciation these people deserve and the benefits that they should have...

Well Miss Feline discrimination word is still a worldwide menace leave alone for Philippines. Well say i take a recent example attack on Indian students in Australia. Its going on mercilessly till now even after it started 6 months back. As an Indian it really pains my heart to see the plight of my fellows there who are now struck there in vicious circle of threat to their life. Well every now and then i keep on receiving news like an Indian beaten mercilessly in streets,charred to death and inflicted fatal injuries.Well in this era of global meltdown and crisis with dwindling job oppertunities and sources of livelihood ,immigrants are solely put on all the blame for bringing that.Why???Probably,they come,adjust and mix up very fast and start making revenue at a rapid pace,hence creating a threat to livelihood of residents here. Believe it or not atleast 90% cases of discrimination seem to have this logic behind them. Well even in big democratic countries like USA in some parts i have seen some people harbour venomous prejudice against Indians.Well we are being denied jobs there instead of being well qualified and even willing to work for half the salary of what a resident there demands.Sorry to say i have seen this in certain profiles of people here as well as and even encountered such attitude in forums too.Well take another example of Pakistan.this name brings Terrorism in minds of every living being in this world.But for some few bad people who seem to be tantalising the world,is it enough to consider the whole community of theirs to be traitors????well they also are compassionate human beings and feel the same way as we feel towards universal brotherhood but their country itself is under dark clouds of civil war and strife,what can they do then getting insulted and grosssed up here and everywhere they go???Well but still we are peace loving people and believe that attitude will change with time.Believe it or not we Indians provide the world with most of its intellectual capital.Go in any biggest technological,scientific or research institute of the world,you surely gonna find our country fellow there.If we call back or discontinue providing our services,leave alone US,whole world economy will crumble.
