Before I came to Taiwan, I worked in a department store in Manila, but because my father passed away, the responsibility to take care of my younger brother and sister and support their schooling fell on my shoulders. So I took out the savings I'd built up over several years, paid the agency fee, and went to Kaohsiung to work as a domestic help.
來台灣前，我在馬尼拉的百貨公司工作，但因父親過世，照顧弟妹、供他們唸書的擔子落到我身上，所以我把多年的積蓄拿出，繳了仲介費，到高雄幫傭。
