@mothershipsg: "Every job is honourable, and everyone has their own journey," Clergg Lee said referring to those who may judge her occupation. Speaking to Mothership, the Gen Z Filipina says she views her current occupation as a stepping stone towards her dreams. "The journey has been challenging, but it has also taught me to be stronger, more independent, and grateful for every opportunity," she said. #mothershipnews

Khong :

😱😱😱😱😱 Any creditability on that Uni?

Flamingo :

I’m gay.

The Somerset Cuckoo :

This is typical of the generations who were promised so much by the educators. Get a degree they say and the world is your oyster! There are a great many students looking for work based upon the qualifications and many are debt laden. I applaud this young lady for taking on the challenge and for supporting the family. Things will get better but it will be by your own hand. Don't give up, your dreams are important.

Reaper of the Seas :

you can dream big, but a corrupt shameless government like the Philippines will keep you small no matter what you do.

billionsronald :

I personally know 2 Malaysians who are Masters degree holders, working as cleaners in Singapore.

Peter :

I have graduated Bachelor of Law. Due to my country situation I am working at Singapore as a Cleaner. It’s okay as long as still can survive and can support my family.

Catsmix :

I know singaporean graduates who work as food delivery or grab drivers . The statement is very true ego cannot feed a hungry stomach

JayJay🐅 :

When I see foreign workers doing 3D jobs, coming from thousands kilometres away, I just wonder does their government has NO conscience, effort & will to improve their own people’s economy, so that underprivileged class don’t have to travel far from home just to do simple job with a decent pay 🤔🤔🤔🤔

SM A :

Keep praying. Never give up. God will not disappoint you. Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive... I prayed for something everyday and after 23 years, God finally answered my prayers and I'm now the most happiest. 😊

user7182277848766 :

Work is work, at least abroad there is dignity in labor, in the PH it is always status but the pay is always meager.

lolospikes :

We have a domestic helper who looked after my dad. She spent her nights studying to upgrade herself. My dad passed on and she is now in Finland working in a nursing home and recently promoted. She has settled down there nicely. Feel happy for her. 🥰

TRUTHmatter :

likewise DEMOCRACY don't feed your stomach.😄😁😆

sugus :

Dont let others judge you. You do what is necessary for you and your family's survival as long as you don't break the law. Your conscience is clear and God is your witness. Birth and death is common to all of us. Everything is a cycle. Our past,present & future is all connected within the symbolic circle.🙏🙏🙏

Man On The Street :

Degree in the Philippine does not reach the same level as degree achieved in Singapore. Two totally different distinct levels!

jollyman :

is okay if the employer didn't abuse you.maybe can try apply other job in Sg when yr contract expired

B :

yea why not. know what you want. pride doesn't give you the money to live presentably

UnknownUser :

many Pinay helpers are college grads back home, they are willing to sacrifice as long as they have a decent job abroad to feed and support their family back home 🥰

Ethereal Photoshoot :

This is so inspiring😭

Reaper of the Seas :

my wife's cousin worked as a helper in Singapore. she was required to wake up and stay awake 18 hours a day, no break days, she is also not allowed to have lunch. only dinner. and she isn't allowed to eat until the owners wife get home. the owners wife is Korean. anyways. she quit after 2 months and lost 30 lbs.

GT2 :

No need ego for this type of university degree

user10949720790546 :
