Salute To The Filipino Ofws Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

SALUTE TO THE FILIPINO OFW's
Melvin Banggollay
Tabuk, Kalinga, Philippines

Filipinos, are everywhere in their desire
To serve humanity in various capacity
even sometimes they had to endure fire
Of racial abuses and tyrannic tendency;

But when their dignity is put on fire
They don't hesitate to fight valiantly
and learn to take out the quagmire
Of indolence that ruin their life's glory.

The Filipinos abroad working diligently
Sacrificed to leave their love and family
Even it pains to leave them in the journey
To seek the best of life for their everybody

They never mind to suffer any malady
as caregivers in any foreign country
or as skilled workers in many industry
or as professional in exchange for salary
not even enough to pay their loyalty
And competent service to all humanity.

You all deserved to be saluted equally
With the honor of all Filipino's glory
For you are noble servant of humanity
And living token of the Filipino's hospitality.

Hold high thy brow serene with dignity
Sail like free bird and reach all humanity,
Be proud in your work with all humility
As you serve God and our Country.
