Touched by A Filipina?

Wherever you are on this good earth, chances are you encounter a Filipina. You may be completely clueless of this, but it is true. There is a good chance a Filipina is on the other end of your customer service hotline or chat consultation, helping with a credit card or airline question. Chances are you or someone within your six degrees has experienced the gentle caring of a Filipina nanny, nurse, physiotherapist, doctor or friend. Chances are at one of the last ten hotels you've been to, a Filipina was there to serve you at reservations, at a restaurant, at a bar, as part of the lobby/lounge band.

We are hard-working people, and we work hard for our families, for better lives, for hopes and dreams. We do this with grace, and at our best with a smile. Even a song. This is a video that friends of mine put together. It mirrors much of the way of the Filipina does what she does: from the heart, with grace and a smile, getting it done and infecting you with her charm.

It is Women's month. Now you know you've most likely been touched by a Filipina. And now I am telling you, because of this you are all better for it.
