Being Selective and Reality of Life
There are many options we can catch but sometimes we prepared what we wanted.
My distant relatives visit us with their family to look for work in the city where we live. And then we welcome them with all our hearts, making them comfortable staying in our apartment while they're here. We sympathize with their current situation, which they really need financially.
He has two very cute daughters and his wife is pregnant with his third child. They came here hoping they could find a job because they really need it. When they arrive, we offer what we have to offer and give them the best we can.
In the morning, we go to the market, shopping mall or a place where there is a chance to find a job, but they are all full. This is what I expect due to this season where most of us don't need to work. we managed to find it, but he refuses because of salary. He gets a job at $ 8 per day. We tried to find them for more than 4 days. They have been here for a week.
They're from Laguna and it's too far from here. Going to the pregnant wife is exhausting for her children. after so many days trying to find that job, they decided to return to laguna. We are sorry because they are already here but they decide to return to that place where they have no business.
My dad and mom are talking to them and telling them, if not a minimum, not to come back and only work here. We know that getting a job in the market will not yield a minimum wage, but it will increase as you stay with your employer. how it works in every market.
I tried to talk to his wife and ask why they decided to leave, a few days passed when they arrived. and he said "We need to return to the lagoon and we decided to return there because my husband couldn't find good work here and I already find their work again because I talk to someone to help find work." In his words I just say, "OK and I hope you can get a job there and solve your financial problem."
Today they decide to go back to Laguna this morning. We managed to give them some money for their expenses along the way. We are not that much money, so we give what we can give.
I understand why he is picky about a job he wants to find because he really has to pay something at the end of this month and also pay for something at each end of the week. At the same time, he has to save part of his wife's pregnancy and children at their expense.
They are coming here already and should seize all the opportunities that can help them slowly, albeit small. And we respect their decision to return to Laguna and do business there.
