Justice for OFW's-Engineering Poetry Choir's theme

i give my praise and i congratulate the Engineering Poetry Choir, for again winning as Champion to this year's U-day Poetry Choir Contest. that was really amazing and extraordinary. watching their performance left unexpected tears, for i felt how sincere all the members were and at the same time, everything they showed were true. there was this side story wherein a teacher in Maasin, went to Jordan and work as a Domestic helper,she was well-paid at first and her daughter had the things she wanted, but was later maltreated and committed suicide. lots of OFW's died just because they think that the Filipinos are nothing but animaLs and mere heLpers who deserve nothing but their slap, harsh and indecent words. what made that performance more touching was that, it was dedicated to the two former Poetry Choir members who died because of an incident (in the past). i know, they really did, deserve to win. as i went to the lobby of the auditorium, i overheard one student who said that he was really touched and he realized how important his mom's life is, since his mother is also an overseas Filipino worker. i would really love to watch their performance again!
