ang pasko ni mina - sa israel, na walang pasko

“Pang-apat na Pasko na ito na hiwalay ako sa pamilya ko,” says Mina, and the note of wistfulness in her tone echoes the sadness and frustration of all the millions of other Filipino migrant workers who must spend this family-oriented season away from their loved ones.

Mina, 49, is only of the roughly 40,000 Filipinos working in Israel, around 80

MERRY CHRISTMAS, WORLD (DESPITE and INSPITE of ALL the DOWNFALLS)

What a frustrating scenario..

=(

..imagining Mina, "gazing with longing, out to where she thinks her family sits and waits for her.."

"Pero iba pa rin talaga ang lakas at tibay ng loob ng mga Pinoy.."

They are always (and forever) willing to sacrifice everything if only for their family..

Only, her "Pasko sa Israel na Walang Pasko" might have a better touch if her relatives remember her as the one who brings them life and happiness, almost forgetting hers, instead of just remembering her because of the thought of "aginaldos" (Christmas gifts/MONEY.)
