"No love in this world is greater than a Mother's love."
I saw a picture also known as "meme" on my facebook's newsfeed that melted my heart. The meme depicts a mother in a hospital's bed, who has a dextrose pierced on her hand, covering her cold son with a blanket which was purposely placed for a patient like her. But her love for her son is greater than her love for herself so she intentionally and willingly covered her son with a blanket without thinking about how would she be.
Women are strong and brave persons. They are willing to do things that would hurt them just to give their love ones a better life while giving theirselves to others. But that does not mean that they want it. Women especially mothers who want to give their family a luxurious life have no other choice but to take the risk and deal with the danger that may come in their journey of achieving that dream. They are willing to take the sadness just to give their children happiness, but, are their children really happy?
I am a son of an OFW. I sometimes think that this world is unfair. And yes, the world is unfair! I always envy those kids who are with their parents eating and playing together. Others can live well with their family completely, but how about my family? My father has to go abroad just to make a living for our family unwillingly exchanging our special moments together. What makes me mad is that the idea of not living together in order for our family to live well and also about the government which tolerates this kind of thing - immigration.
FILIPINOS ARE FOR THE PHILIPPINES. Filipinos should work on his country and not to others. The government should do something to fix its country, to fix the root of all the rising crisis which is poverty. The government should not let its people feel like it is an honor and pleasure to work in other countries. It should not abuse the desire of every Filipino men and women of giving their family a better life instead, the government should help and take the responsibility of giving the nation's people the best life.
It is also ironic how rich countries depend on poorer ones. It is funny that they have what they want, money and power yet they do not have the precious emotional and sexual resources such as love, care and even sex! Maybe the world is being fair in this matter? But no, it is still unfair. They, too, should suffer from the consequences of their actions but they do not. They may be lacking of sexual resources but they can have it in an instant through money. They are using poor countries to satisfy their needs as a person.
Statistics in these poor countries should work better than before. They should also study the numbers of illegal migrants because they are also one of the authorities who would help those illegal migrants that are suffering under human trafficking. They should collaborate with the government in preventing crimes such as prostitution and enslavement.
How lucky and blessed those children in rich countries are. They can have mothers as many as they want by paying money in return! They could have love and they are really loved by the women who are longing for the love of their children. In reverse, I pity those who were left out. They receive money but they are losing precious and treasurable moments with their love ones.
The text also reveals one of the factors why women on poorer countries migrate to rich ones. It is about one of the family problems worldwide. It is about men who left their wives without supporting them in raising their own child. As the text stated, it is sad that they use immigration as divorce. Women who were left by their husbands seems like they were forced by the situation to leave their family in their country and work abroad to earn enough money to support their children.
In conclusion, women are victims of poverty, lack of responsibility of men (who left them without any help) and the sick system of every countries' government. Filipino undergraduates should have a nice work and enough salary here in their own country to support their family's needs and even wants. So that they will have no thought of leaving their country for them to earn much more money. The government should also make a policy about the separation of couples that states their responsibility so that men and women will have an equal contribution, rights and benefits for their children. And above all else, the government with its people should defeat poverty that is root of every crime and evil.
