15 - A Country Where Everybody Wants To Be A Nurse


The phenomenon of doctors becoming nurses is unheard of in other nations. This is only happening in the Philippines! How many stories have you heard wherein working professionals have left their jobs in favor of becoming a caregiver or a nursing aid? The Filipino has lost dignity because he has sold his soul for money and the American dream. He will swallow his pride that he was once a doctor, issuing orders and respected by the whole world, in order to stroll the streets of New York and London, but this time, as a pitiful slave. So many Filipinos are working overseas. Leaving their loved ones to find a “better future abroad.” We should not be surprised if the Philippines is now being called “a country of slaves,” for we very much deserve such name. Iwan na iwan na talaga tayo. It is only a matter of time. We can make the change.

Filipinos scattered in Hong Kong, China. Waiting for a miracle.
