The Filipina

I am a proud Filipina. I am a Pinay, part of a great people.

This is a tribute to one of the most long-suffering of all women. She is a superwoman. She does everything she can for those she loves. She is a hard worker. She is gentle and soft spoken.

Many things may get the Filipina down. Oftentimes she is faced with struggles she has no control over, a time vacuuming traffic jam, unforgiving heat, woes with the powers that be and lines at the lady's loo. But the Filipina smiles everything off and flips her long silky straight hair. Off she goes gliding confidently to the future, a bright future.
