I now talk about three main facets of my life; the first series, My Heart, Your Voice-as a parent to two autistic teens, so I talk to other parents, carers, etc., that are going through the same journey, but at times talk to those that have undergone special circumstances. The second, The Grateful Immigrant, are about things I’ve learned as someone who immigrated to the UK in 2001. Alongside are people who share their immigrant experiences.
The third is simply called, “Kuya Rob”, where I mostly speak in Filipino, my mother tongue, as I talk about our way of life abroad, Pinoys just hustling and bustling-building lives outside our beloved motherland.
So let’s talk, let’s listen, let’s learn from each other!

Please go back to Taiwan that is your real origin of your country.
Never been to Taiwan. I’m clearly not as well-travelled, educated and worldly-wise as you are. What’s it like?
@@RobertFranco74 You are an austronesian. You are taiwan aboriginese that means taiwan indigenous.
Right. I didn’t know we were going back 5000 years ago. And that’s why these riots are happening, right? Migration from 5000 years ago? That’s what they mean they want their country back? So, if you’re White British, does that mean you’d also have to go back to either Angeln or Northern Saxony both in Germany or Denmark? Based on that logic then, I’ve got just as enough right to be here as you do.
Please go back to under the rock you crawled out from.
Perhaps you should learn first about Anthropology and clarify your own origins ... You will be surprised !!
It's an inaccurate view of the situation. Many ethnic Brits don't want to be a minority in their homeland, foreign cultures imposed on them, unfair competition for resources and increasing crime. They were doing just fine without mass immigration. It wasn't perfect, but better than most places. Don't think of yourself as indispensable because you're not. Markets sort themselves out. You're there because British elites have less honorable motives. They didn't ask permission from their people. You should be humble to be there because you and I know that the Philippines is overcrowded and underdeveloped. You shouldn't feel ashamed because generally Filipinos work hard, don't contribute much to crime stats and use welfare sparingly. The same cannot be said of Blacks and Muslims. Why do you have a sense of loyalty for these people? They're not your people. We owe them nothing. I hope one day that the Philippines becomes stable and developed. I don't want our people to use White people as a crutch forever.
Thank you. Interesting choice of words though. Really not sure what it is you are trying to say here. All I am asking is that they let us do our jobs in peace. I never said we were indispensable, because as you said, we're not. We can be replaced. How easy that is, that's another question. I'm here because some Brits have less honourable motives? What does that even mean? I am here because I worked hard for it, for over two decades, gained additional qualifications whenever required. Yes I am humbled by it, and more than that, I am grateful for it. Why do I have a sense of loyalty to other people? That's not loyalty, that's basic humanity. And yes, the Philippines is a developing country, but I fail to see why it has any relation to my fellow immigrant workers having to endure violence and harm on their way to work. And speak for yourself if you had to use a white person as a crutch. Yes, a Western country gave me the opportunity, but I had to work for it, to get noticed, promoted and get to where I may be now. I didn't sit around acting as if the world owed me a favour, I did not ask for handouts.
It’s really sad what is happening, I have no words. That fact that lately we have to live our life in fear is just appalling. I am praying for our safety 🙏🏼
I know. Keep safe.
Very well said Robert🙌
Thank you, friend. 😁
Thank you Bro Rob
Thank you too! Stay safe out there.
