An overseas Filipina worker (OFW) in Canada shared her dismay after one of her brothers got mad at her for not sending money for a car he wishes to purchase.
The OFW, who works as a nurse in Canada, shared to Facebook page PESO SENSE the time when she received hurtful messages from her brother after she refused to send or loan money for his brother to be able to purchase a car.
According to the OFW, her family asked her to loan Php150,000 to help his brother purchase a car. This is on top of Php200,000 loan that her brother also plans to make.
Considering that she also has her own family to feed, finance, and sustain, she was not able to make the loan.
This was the time she received this message from her brother.
“Ano nasisiyahan ka niyan? Ikaw ubod ng ginhawa, ang mga kapatid mo naghihirap? Masagana ang buhay mo. Nabibili mo ang gusto mo. Si Ditchie madami ng problema dinadagdagan mo pa. Binibigay mo sa amin lahat ng hindi mo kailangan at mga sobra lang sa luho mo. Priority mo lang sarili mo. Hindi ka pwedeng asahan ng pamilya dahil makasarili ka. Pauwiin mo si inang at kahit magkamatayan kami wag mo na kami pakibalitaan. Paligayahin ka sana ng mga gamit at pera mo. Makasarili ka,” her brother’s message read.
“Ito po ang message ng kuya ko sa akin galit na galit kesyo makasarili daw po ako. Ako na po nagpapaaral sa isang anak ng kuya ko sa private school na Php30,000 ang tuition fee. Nakatira na sa bahay sa Las Pinas for free, ako po may-ari ng lupa sa Ate ko ang bahay. Tapos makasarili pa rin daw ako. Nakakasama lang po talaga ng loob na parang ang gusto nila patayin ko sarili ko kakatrabaho habang sila nagpapakasarap sa Pinas,” the OFW shared.
Aside from helping her brother in sending his child to school, she had previously sent Php200,000 for them to be able to start a small quail egg business in the Philippines.
When the business failed, she sent another Php30,000 for them to start a grocery store.
