I didn't know much about Filipinos living in Canada even though my Mom says that we have family up there. You mention that your parents were very fortunate in having the doors open for them to work. My parents were able to come to America because my Dad was in the Navy. I think that would have been his only way out. My mom works as a nurse, and I know that a lot of Filipinos chose this profession which, by the way, I'm very proud of because we need more nurses in the world. I just think that they would be getting more respect and money for all their hard work. Thanks for the interesting read. It's always nice to learn more about Filipinos in the world besides just in the Philippines or in America. Hey thanks for linking to this specific blog entry.
