Maybe some of you already heard about Mrs./Miss Malu Fernandez. For those who don't she's one of the Manila Standard's writer that made a comment about here hell like experience in economy class plane with OFW on the way home. This article came last year and I know its a bit late reaction for me (Ngayon ko lang kasi napagtuunan ng pansin saka ngayon lang ako naging OFW). I bet this girl came from a elite class by the way she convey herself. Here are some line that Miss Malu has writen --I wanted to slash my wrist at the thought of being trapped in a plane with all of them. Of course, everyone in economy class was yelled at for having overweight hand-carries. Mine was 17kg (ssshhhh!). That was all my makeup and accessories I would never risk losing if my luggage ended in the middle of the Sahara desert.
While I was on the plane (where the seats were so small I had bruises on my legs), my only consolation was the entertainment on the small flat screen in front of me. But it was busted, so I heaved a sigh, popped my sleeping pills and dozed off to the sounds of gum chewing and endless yelling of “HOY! Kumusta ka na? At taga sann ka? Domestic helper ka rin ba?” Translation: “Hey there? Where are you from? Are you a domestic helper as well?” I though I had died and God had sent me to my very own private hell.---
Ang sakin lang naman mga tsong masyado lang na stereotype ang tao nato as sosyal, matapobre, mamlalait. Im not Pro Malu Fernandez I'm just looking on the both side's of the coin. Sa totoo lang talaga namang nakakahiya rin pag nakita ang iba nating kababayan pag umasal sa ibang bansa,katulad dito sa Saudi. Gaya na lang dito sa mismong opisina na pinapasukan ko ngayon, tuwing lunch time talagang kailangan pang mag agawan sa pag kain, nakakahiya tuloy sa ibang lahi, baka isipin nila adik na adik sa pag kain ang mga Pilipino. Sa totoo lang batay sa sarili kong obserbasyon, mas matalino tayo kesa sa ibang lahi, dito sa companya namin Merong Koreano, Indiano, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Chinese at Arabo. Eto lang yung ibang character ng bawat isa. Koreano: I want to recieved ballpen (parang ang sama pakinggan) Indiano: Nag palabas ng memo. Today we will have meeting drivers before I spoke to name. Chinese: Can I borrow just a mean while. Bangladeshi: Yes Im coming im cumming im cumming,(parang nanonood ka ng bold.Nepalese: Ahhhhhhhh food,food list.Arabo: Pare madaming itik,gago baho kilikili,mataba.......Ang satin kasi parang kulang lang tayo sa lecture. Tamang may PDOS (pre departure orientation seminar) bago umalis pero parang hindi parin sapat. O natural ng ganyan talaga tayo. Pag uwi ko nga parang naisip ko na ring pitikin yung blanket sa eroplano para may suvinere.
