This is a repost from www.wheninmanila.com from a go0d friend, Vince. Wheninmanila is a partner during this 2009 event where this video was shown.

I’m a big supporter of the Philippine Expat Blog Awards (PEBA) and of Global Filipinos in general. I understand the sacrifices that they make to help better themselves and their family situations.

With that said, I am again supporting and promoting the 2010 Pinoy Expats Blog Awards (PEBA)!

The 2010 Philippine Expat / OFW Blog Awards (PEBA).

This is an event to celebrate Filipino Expats living overseas / abroad. The overseas foreign workers are heroes to the Philippines. These expatriates become foreigners as a sacrifice for their families and for their country. Please join us at this event that will be held sometime in December to honor the bloggers among them who share their stories of trials and triumphs.
