An OFW working as a nurse in Canada became a trending topic after she posted online about the hurtful message she received from her brother. The hurtful message was prompted when she refused to buy him a car.
Facebook page PESO SENSE shared the post but concealed her identity. According to the post, she has been working hard in Canada for many years and never had second thoughts about helping her siblings here in the Philippines.
She enumerated how she gave them money for their businesses for 2 consecutive years and never complained when it didn't work out.
Her story is as follows:
"Isa po akong nurse dito sa Canada...
Tumutulong po ako sa mga kapatid ko. Ang totoo nga po nyan 2015 nagbigay ako ng 200k sa bunsong lalaki namin sinundan ko para puhunan nia sa pugo. Nalugi po yun. Hinayaan ko nalang. Last year nagbigay po ako ng puhunan 30k para sa maliit ng groceries store..
Last December umuwi ako binigyan ko nanaman siya ng 25k pangdagdag phunan. Tapos ung panganay naman na lalaki namin kahit ano ipabili binibili ko po like nike shoes g shock or anything na afford ko hnd ko xa binibigyan ng pera kc may stable job naman xa." she said.
However, one of her brothers brazenly asked for a car. She refused politely explaining that she is now providing for the family of her own.
"Ngaun po gusto nila ibili ko sila ng sasakyan... ang gusto po magloan ung panganay n lalaki ng 200k ako naman 150k... eh may asawa nrin po ako may sarili na akong buhay dito.. at dahil hindi ko po napagbigyan ang mga hiling na sasakyan."she added.
But she was surprised when she received a hurtful response from his brother.
The nurse was completely taken aback by how her brother reacted. She ranted about how hard the OFW life is and how she struggled to work hard just to be able to provide for her family. She also said that she even paid for her brother's kid's tuition, even letting them stay at her house in Las Piñas.
"Ito po ang message ng kuya ko sa akin galit na galit keso makasarili daw po ako.. ako na po nagpapaaral sa isang anak ng kuya ko s private school 30,000 tuition fee.. nakatira na sa bahay sa ls pinas for free ako po may ari ng lupa sa ate ko ang bahay.. tapos makasarili parin daw ako. Nakakasama lang po talaga ng loob na parang ang gusto nila patayin ko sarili ko kakatrabho habang sila nagpapakasarap sa pinas." she shared.
Many OFW netizens were able to relate to the nurse and shared the same sentiments. Many of them recounted stories of how they work day in and day out, but are often undervalued and taken for granted.
