Ever liken yourself to anyone? Senator Grace Poe likening herself to all the OFW. She stated how she believe that they are being a treated in a double standared. That they have to endure to go home to their own country.

Stressing, “This is my question: If you leave and you send money and give gifts, you’re a hero. But when you’re running in the elections, you’re no longer a hero?”

She also believes that the OFWs can easily relate to her situation stressing out, her being disqualified for the Presidential bet this election in 2016. She told, “I think if there’s any group that can relate to this, it’s you because you know how it is to live in other countries,”

She also defends herself in dispelling the myth that being abroad is easy and nice and that they can no longer serve their country by recalling her own story.

She further explained, “It’s not easy to live abroad. I can say the needs of my family were met, but when we returned in 2005, that was a time of the previous administration and of my father’s death. We found so many issues. It was not an easy time for us, but we needed to fight for our beliefs and for justice.”
