Take It Or Leave It! by Isabelita Manalastas-Watanabe
Dear Maria:
Dear Tita Lits, Narinig ko po na speaker daw kayo, Tita Lits, doon sa seminar na ginawa ng ating Labor Office sa Tokyo on women? Kailan po ba iyon? Sayang at hindi ko po kaagad nalaman at hindi ako naka-attend. Gusto ko sana kayong ma-meet ng personal, dahil matagal ko na ring naririnig ang pangalan ninyo, at nababasa ko rin kayo sa Jeepney Press. Pwede nyo po bang mai-share kung ano po mga advices ninyo doon sa nakapag-attend? Maria T. Tokyo

Yes, by all means! Happy ako to be able to share to as many as my women kabaro in Japan the presentation I made as the inspirational speaker during the fora on Women’s Empowerment in observance of the Women’s Month Celebration in Tokyo held last March 31, 2019, at Midorigaoka Culture Hall, near Jijugaoka station. The event was organized by POLO-OWWA (Philippine Overseas Labor Office – Overseas Welfare Administration), Philippine Embassy, Tokyo. It was the first time I met our lady Labor Attache Ms. Marie Rose C. Escalada, and our Welfare Officer Ms. Amy Crisostomo and their able staff. I think we are in good hands with these officials who are tasked to take care of the many concerns and the welfare of us OFWs in Japan.
