Thinking away from home is a disease for those who are in the distance. It can kill. It's proven. That's why its popularly called "homesick".
To say so, it's been prescribed as to find an advice for medication-not expensive nor need to hospitalized- as what the Filipino teachers dabbed themselves as educators in the southern part of Thailand to unite once and for all.
January 20, 2009, marked the first symptom of the treatment during the mourn of our beloved friend and kabayan Alex Torillo in Pattani. Filipinos from Pattani, Narathiwat, Yala, and some from Nakhon Sri Thamarat, Songkhla and Surathani came and expressed their symphaty to Alex's Family.
The provoking feelings of our kabayan towards the "illed' situations abroad had then merged into one- to organize ourselves. In the case of Alex, we have felt our need to unite not only for help/assistance, prestige and professionalism but as a real "big family".
The continuing persistence of the new global order against the labor sector is quite detrimental sooner or later. It never speaks, sings nor touches you but it's like more than a teargas that you can just smell around and see yourself fell helpless in the ground.
This is what the "big family" thinks of 'having one another- seeing one another' , a simple cure to normalize being at home abroad. They believed that being educators must possess strong physical bodies and vigorous working minds to help overcome such threat. And so, they immediately drafted a constitution and bylaws to an organization called the Organization of Filipino Educators in the South of Thailand (OFEST).
That's up to this moment, homesick is curable anymore- if this brotherhood-sisterhood scheme prospers- without having been in a clinic or hospital but instead an office which they called "home".
