OFW and the current global financial crisis

by reyna13 on September 30, 2008

I received an email from our BFF, Salve Duplito, The Inquirer’s financial whiz, editor of Money Smarts. I am inviting my very, very close Overseas Pinoy friends (yeap, alam nila sekreto ni Victorino) to help her out. They are the following:

  1. ) Roni (Sands of Time) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
  2. ) Mogli of Sweden
  3. ) Ibyang of Australia
  4. ) Anak ni Kulapo (Buraot) of USA
  5. ) Nina of Qatar
  6. ) Dakilang Islander of Bermuda
  7. ) Gibo of Malaysia
  8. ) Kotsengkuba of China
  9. ) Kengkay of Germany
  10. ) Melai of Canada
  11. ) Kiwi Pinay of New Zealand
  12. ) Sinaglaya of Singapore
  13. ) Jericho of Hongkong
  14. ) Rhapsody of Dubai
  15. ) Lovelyn of Italy
  16. ) Kutang Bato (Kutz) of Arizona, McCain Republic
  17. ) Now What Cat of USA

Ok, makinig! MAKINIIIGGG~!@#$!! Kundi pipingutin ko kayuuuuu! Me rules po tayo.

Una. WAG na WAG ipo-post ang sagot nyo sa mga blog nyo. Dahil exclusive sya sa Philippine Daily Inquirer pag napili nila ang tatoo sa hita nyo. Kundi, ipapalusub ko kayo sa mga Taliban!!!! Getz???

Ooopps! Meron po akong malaking CORRECTED BY! Pwede syang i-post AFTER – AFTER na ma-publish sa PDI. Paunahin nyo muna ang PDI, which means, siguro Thursday or Friday next week, pede nyo nang i-post. Ok? Delikadeze ladies and gentlemen!!! Hahaha!

Pangalwa. Mami-mili sya senyo. Yun bang tipong baka na me tatoo nga sa hita. Ganun. Galingan ang sagot. Pag mali ang sagot nyo, hindi lang barangay ang aabutin nyo. Ii-ikot namen kayo sa barrio! Yong mga tiga Middle East will be stoned at etong tiga-Singapore, lalatiguhin. Intiendez?! Hahaha! Send your responses back to Salve Duplito. Her email is below

Pangatlo. Ipadala ang sagot by email ki Salve sa PDI bago mag-bukang liwayway nang Byernes (10/3/2008) sa Manila. Wag kalimutang mag-lakip nang kodak. Yong damit wag daw pong pang-santacruzan. (Leche! daming bawal! hahahaha!)

Pang-AFAT!!! If you want to join, feel free. I know, malalatigo ako nito by everybody who I did not list, eh kaso baka naman malunod ang Salve sa mga responses ninyo! Hahaha! But if you were particularly hit by this letcheng subprime na to and these Wall Street crooks and you’re an Overseas Pinoy, kayo ang hinahanap namen! So, join!

Here’s the email:

Hello friendship :-)

How are you?

Could you be one of my resource persons for an article I am writing? I am featuring Filipinos working overseas and how they are faring in the face of the current global financial crisis. This is for my Business Monday article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, but will also of course come out in the Internet edition.

Here are my questions:

  1. ) Tell me about yourself. How old are you, where are you working now, how many are you in the family, how long have you been working abroad, etc.Please feel free to ramble :)
  2. ) What are your thoughts about the current global financial crisis? Is it something that worries you or do you feel that it’s too complicated to truly affect you and your future?
  3. ) If you feel that you are affected, describe the ways that it is changing your life, your priorities and your future? How is it affecting your saving and spending patterns? Investing?
  4. ) What are your plans now? Has this changed drastically? Just a little bit? Tell me about your dreams and plans before this crisis happened.

Would really appreciate it if you can email me your answers :-) as well as a photo I can use for the layout. If you know of anyone that you think can share his/her thoughts with me, I would also appreciate the recommendation.

(Follow-up email) At chaka please dont forget to send me photo ha. Wag naman nakapang santacruzan ha, mwahahaha.
