Liham ni Pinay mula sa Brunei - Ruth Elynia S. Mabanglo


Liham ni Pinay Mula Sa Brunei

1.       What is your opinion on the woman’s decision to work abroad and leave her family behind?

      Like a typical Filipina worker here in the Philippines her salary is not enough to shoulder all of the expenses of her family that’s why she planned to work abroad to try if being OFW will taking out her family in difficulties of life.

2.       What are the beliefs and traditions found in the story that you believe are still present up to this day?

When it comes to discrimination and inequalities are the best belief and tradition that showed in the poem. Belief that all of work that done by man can also do by the women. Tradition that not only man can work abroad but also women can also find a job that suit to shouldered the needs of their family.


The How’s, What If’s and If ever’s:

1.       How does the poem about Pinay open the minds of younger generation like you?

·         We can’t discriminate and underestimate the capabilities of a woman. They have the freedom to do what they want to do.

2.       What if you are in the woman’s shoe, would you also leave your family and work abroad? Why or why not?

·         Yes, if that choice is the only way to take away my family in trying hard times.

3.       If ever this situation happens in your family- having a father like Pinay’s husband- what will you do?       


·         I will talk to my father sincerely that he should look for a job that will help my mother in giving us a very convenient way of living.
