Shifting by 360 Degrees

From Manila to Hongkong

Many Pinoys are beefing up on the line in the airport. Most of them are boarding for Dubai and others some parts of Middle East. There are many faces of happiness and mostly a sigh of relief of passing the immigration gate. The immigration officers are so busy intimidating their fellow Filipinos in the area. These officers did not seem to understand why these people are risking their future by only having a Visit Visa on their hands. Some passed and proceeded to their respective gates, some did not make it or were denied because of petty reasons. For those who passed the process of scrutiny from the immigration officers and belittling long line procedure, they are now really leaving for Dubai, one of the highly urbanized states of United Arab Emirates. The plane took off at about 10 am from Ninoy Aquino International Airport and within an hour or so the plane landed and stopped over in Hongkong. The Pinoys waited for 3 hours or so for the next flight to Dubai. The international airport in Hongkong is so big that you will get lost when you are not reading the signs ahead of you. It is like a huge shopping mall. You can find a number of restaurants, coffee shops, gift shops et cetera.


From Hongkong to Dubai

I am one of them. We are the ones who are hoping to find a decent job abroad. All for the money - the real score! Yes, that is really the main reason why we left the country. Another way of putting it, there are less opportunities in the Philippines than any other countries. Sorry to say, but it is true.
