No More Jobs

“Unemployment in the U.S. rises”, says an online news headline.

So true to almost a thousand Filipino teachers who are now out of job. I could have been one of them because I was interviewed by the recruitment officer for a teaching position in that certain county.

If I got in I would have paid almost a million pesos. Yes, I’d be swimming in debt even before I set foot in the great big US of A. I know it’s probably like having a lot of payday advance loans except they haven’t received their salary yet but they’re already paying for the fees.

Just like the other teachers who have been duped by a fellow Filipino recruiter, these teachers paid a whole lot just to be able to teach over seas. The authorities should also look into the agency that got them their jobs because it is to the agency that they paid thousands of dollars as “processing fees”.
