| Introduction | Been around the world.Enjoyed all the sights.Partied with the best.Great food.My mom used to ask "What have you achieved in all your travels?" Mom I'm the first to have tried ALL the beers around the globe. Guinness material. Kidding aside,these travels opened my eyes and brain to the hardships of Filipinos. Lunched w/ maids in Tehran,surfed with boatman in Bahamas, banana Q in Italy.More food from a waiter in Paris, towels from a chambermaid in Germany. What broke my heart was when I spent Christmas with a group of Filipinos in Dubai-We were all getting wasted when a mid age lady started crying. She misses her kids! And there was a flood of sentiments around the hall. A mom dying of cancer-no medicine. Children who can't go to school. Everyone has a story to tell, I heard no one say he/she is enjoying it. We don't have a choice!Went back to Manila and vowed to do something about it. Talked to friends to help me. We have improved some lives,yes,but poverty is still everywhere.So I decided to use the power of technology to fight the ills of society.With you I am hoping that I can affect some change. |
