Resilience. Yes, I come from a people, Widely known For strength and versatility-- The way we brave adversity With cheerful smiles On our weather-beaten faces; Yet, that doesn't endow you With the privileged license To callously use me Nor abuse me. "Resilience" Thinking of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and other overseas contract workers (OCWs). It's something that happens to lots of us, everyday and everywhere. The lack of sufficient jobs and adequate compensation compel hordes of hopefuls to get out of their impoverished nations to seek work elsewhere; only to end up as slaves--and exploited ones, at that. #Resilience #OFW #WorkingAbroad #diwa #yqbaba
