Recently I'm painting a series of works that dealt with the plight of the OFW's (Overseas Filipino Workers). Actually this is a long overdue concept. Just now I thought it's about time to do it. Mga Bagong Bayani daw sabi ng mga pogi, but for me... dito... sa M.E., I consider us mga ginagong bayani ( translation SCREWED HEROES ). ”Mga Ginagong Bayani“ That's it, that will be the title name of this series. Pasalamat tayo lahat dahil family oriented ang kultura natin. Kahit paano nagpapadala tayo sa mga magulang natin, kapatid at mga kabit.(Joke only) The dollars we sent each month helps somehow our unstable economy. But how about kung kami na naman ang finally umuwi na dyan? Lahat naman tayo dito ay uuwi rin. What can the govt. offer us in return? Nabubulok na ekonomiya, krimen at dumadami nating populasyon. Our population is ever increasing by the minute and by the day, it's a time bomb! After a decade... do-doble na ang dami natin. Philippines is a sinking ship! Lahat tayo sakay sa isang barko na 'to, at sabay tayong lulubog. Samantalang sila ang nagpapasarap ngayon sa pwesto, sa atin naman ang hirap.
