Over 70% of Filipinos want to or are currently, working overseas according to Lara Castillo, area organizer for Migrante. She wants people to think about the impact of this migration on their culture and working towards making their country a place where it's people want to and are able to live. Overseas work is deeply ingrained Filipino livelyhood and Migrante and other organizations hope to show people that there are other options.
Allen Bonificio or "Boni," is an area organizer for Migrante. He started his career in activism at 15 years-old.

Even in the midst of all that wreckage, brown has never been more beautiful. Represent PhilAm!
Wow. I'm inspired by the work that's going on there, and all that needs to be done.
Krystle, you have a wonderful eye for pictures because you have captured the sadness, togetherness, frustration although there is hope from the volunteers in the reality of the devastation. I pray that YOU ARE SAFE AND HEALTHY. I am so proud of you, my dearest daughter. You are making all of us aware of our fellow countrymen who are the loved filipinos. I hope that your pictures make a difference by alerting the WORLD THAT THE PHILIPPINES NEEDS HELP! Love, Mom
Beautiful!!! Your uncle Tony gave me your link. I used to work with him. I'm a green building person. Want to save the environment and have all people be able to afford to live in homes that don't make them sick.
Cheers!
