Joy - OFW  

That mom in the video represents Hundreds of thousands Filipino parents working overseas :'(

Oh. Those were real tears. That's why I love you both.❤❤❤

This is the reality of millions of the OFWs. They'd rather send the hard earned money back home for their family's welfare than to spend it with expensive plane tickets that is why it took them so long to come home. Some are away for 10+++ years that their kids dont even know them anymore. Thank God there is internet now. Makes everything a bit bearable. We're praying that there would be enough sustainable jobs so that there wont be a need to export Filipino workers anymore.

i was also that kid when i was young, my mom work abroad just to give me a better future so i can go to a better school have a better life. it took 13 straight years before i can hug my mom again. now i have kids of my own and guess what my turn is up i am working abroad to give my children a better future just like my mom did. i wish no family members will be separated to each other just to earn money. just sharing my story. i love your reactions i just watched 2 real human beings with feelings. Thank you and God bless

It hit me hard. My father was an OFW more than half of his life. He never once was there when we were born. I have 3 siblings. He never really saw us growing up. He's almost 4 years gone and in heaven. How I wish we were given a chance to spend more time with him growing up but we would never be where we are now without him. Thanks Dad! ❤️

This video is probably the only video where our fave titas cried a lot I was crying and laughing at the same time (well, I'm still figuring out how it happened) anw, Genuine reactions 💖💖

You're both great moms and daughters. It's hard for both the parent and their kids. My parents were also once both OFWs. It was more difficult then because the internet was really not there yet, only telephones. I also could not imagine how hard it is to leave your children, to work in another country with a different culture and language, be alone, and/or take care/love another person's kid while you're far from your own. Especially when you're from a country, like the Philippines, known for having close familial ties. Me and my brother were young. I kind of drifted away from my parents because of the distance and lack of communication. And I know, apart from the hardships of being an overseas worker, sometimes they get their hearts broken from their kids not being able to understand why they choose to leave.

i'm a father and i cried together with you guys.

My sister was a Nanny in Hong Kong, she had to miss 3 years of her daughter just to provide for her. Truly brave, our OFW's are! I love how genuine you two are!! Keep crying!!

MANY FILIPINOS DO SACRIFICE THAT MUCH FOR THEIR FAMILIES... i don't think i can do the same to be apart from my only child especially when he was little thank u Ate Alicia and Ate Angelina for having a heart to feel what we feel we LOVE you ~ from the Philippines

I am a filipino. Am so happy for your reactions. I also cry same time. Kudossss

what i really love about you two, is that you do not only react to anything you are watching, you’re also giving your thoughts about it. it’s like the differece between hearing and actually listening to something. and i love crying with you two whenever i know that you are reacting to something that’s gonna turn out emotional. how we love ‘torturing’ ourselves, right? haha! but that says a lot about us being human and being able to grasp what we should be feeling about. god bless you, ladies! ♥️♥️♥️

too much crying ladies..... i cried about the video but i cried even more because of the 2 of you. whatttt? hahahaha

When you don't grow up with your mom coz she works her whole life away from home, she doesn't know how you're growing into life. I can relate so much to this video. The only thing is I'm always her favorite! I cried too with this video!

This is so hard to watch, we really appreciate your reactions especially in understanding the struggles of the Overseas Workers and their sacrifices. Me being one of the 10million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) around the world in 170 countries, with 1 million in Saudi Arabia alone and experiencing those sacrifices for our families back home (Philippines) is never an easy thing. Homesickness has always been our greatest enemy, but we can do nothing about it despite the technological advancement, while yes! Nowadays it's easy to just chat, call and talk to your love ones from other side of the world, but being with them beside you is totally different. Here, especially when you're sick, you have to accept that nobody will be there to take care of you, you're lucky if you have circle of friends to visit you in the hospital that only if when they're free. Everyone here has work (not only in KSA) and Work has been the top priority. Here, you do eveything all by yourself. Needless to say the cooking, laundry, cleaning, EVERYTHING just by yourself. Hahaha but life must go on. Thank you Angelina and Alicia! I love you guys!!! - John from Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)

I couldnt imagine being apart from my son either. I feel so sorry to those OFW parents who have to go through these sacrifices for their children. Kudos to you all.

I cried with you most of the time. 😢😭😭 genuine reaction ,plus a very interesting conversation after. Thanks. Godbless 😇😇😇

Love you both crying,,, You now feel how we feel😊😊😊

In all the commercial reactions you both did, this could probably be the hardest you really cried on and it does hit a sensitive chord in our hearts when we miss our love ones overseas.

Crying with you alicia and Angelina,proud to be ofw here in Dubai,thank God I'm going back home this coming Dec for Christmas vacation,I miss my mom alot.

Maybe i watched many times already this video reaction of yours and I can't hold my tears to dropped!...god bless girls!

It's called a "balik bayan box". We fill it with gifts and send it to our fam back home. So even if we can't come home for Christmas, at least they will feel like we're there somehow...BTW I always enjoy your reactions :)

I love how you can empathize by understanding the situation.. you’re both kind-hearted people. Good on you 💕

You guys are 2 of the most genuine people I have seen on RU-vid. More power to you. Thank you for being so REAL.

The two of you are really good mothers. You are the BEST mom for your kids. God bless you!

that was raw emotions guys. Lovely.

I haven't cry for many years because I learned to endure to hold extra emotions in my heart, until I saw this video. Im pretty sure you both are soft hearted and kind.

MABUHAY all OFW in the world filipino nany is the best sacrifice for family for carrieng other siblengs

Make you realized how important to be a mother while the child is growing up not in her present. I like both of your reaction to this video being a real human, real emotion, and real love. God bless you both.

In my long comment, I forgot to say that this is the longest, if not the first time, that I witnessed the two of you become speechless...Such a raw and true reaction.

It' s just so contagious.

I never asked that question when my mom left to work abroad, nor when my das followed after her a year later. But it stays with you, that night before their departure, the last hugs. It has been 30 years, the loneliness you felt surges back.

Best reaction,I cried with you two😢😢I know the feeling,because I am also an OFW.even I miss my mother and siblings alot,I don't have a choice😢thank you for this❤

never tired of watching this :)

Very emotional commercial I just crying

Its really hard not to be with your family during special occassions like Christmas. Even if we want to go home but we can't.

i love watching you both cry

You two are such cry babies... ...and so am I. 😭😭😭 That shows the sad reality behind the Filipino worker's smile. Thanks for your reaction. Watching you from Qatar.. By the way I am a Dad and an OFW🇵🇭 ... I miss my family soooo much. 😭😭😭

The overseas filipino workers are the new heroes in our country, they sacrificed everything for their children and loved ones to aim a good future. 💕👏🏼👏🏼

I appreciate your combination of IQ, EQ, and SQ in making your commentaries. It puts substance in your reactions/reviews.

You ladies are cool and real in my books. I enjoyed this. Thank you for being you. ♥️🇵🇭

Joy company should give these two ladies a recognition. Because they're making Joy popular. They are very genuine and very goodhearted individuals.

All OFWs is a hero forever

My husband is an engineer in middle east. My son cried so hard in the airport because he dont want his dad to leave. Salute to all Filipino working overseas. This woman represent to a million OFW. Mabuhay!

this really touched my heart...my dad was gone for most of my childhood as OFW and when my mom died last year i realized i needed to be there for my dad more....this year i'm coming home...

the OFW's are the new Filipino heroes. their remittances are the backbone of our country's economy.

I am an OFW as well and a Single Dad. My daughter is living with My sister. Just a couple OF days ago, I chatted with My 4 year old daughter, she told me to pick up and drop her again at School and mentioned “ Daddy please Go out now at work and Will pick you UP in the AirPort” I said I cant because daddy need to work for your Schoolling. And She cried like anything. It is really hard working far from family. Be strong to all OFW. :-(

Im laughing while crying.. Reacting to you guys and that video... 😭😅.. Its so hard not to cry. Serously.. I feel the kid...😖😖😖

Im a son of an OFW. I walked thru the stage 3 times (elementary,high school and college) sometimes with medals without my single mom who's working overseas and this hurts me a lot. Everythings on point in this commercial. I experienced this. But being mature,i just pretend that i liked whatever she brings home

I LOVE you two sooo much. Awesone reaction as always. ❤️

This is the first time that I saw that commercial, I cried with you!

When you see foreigner workers or Asian workers especially Filipino workers on food chains or restaurants there in your area, strike a conversation... say hi, how are you. They would be grateful for a conversation because they can share stories of why they are there serving you guys...

Watching you two crying . I cannot breath.

This is the reason why I subscribed to your channel.. #genuine

We love your touching heart...from phillippines

I feel sentimental watching this video, my mom was an ofw and missed soo many bdays and my graduation. I always asked myself why can she take care of other people’s kids and could not even take care of her own children. as I grew older, I realized she was doing all her best to give us a better life I can only imagine how hard it was being away from us.

Thanks for understanding us as parent it is very hard to be away with your children specially if they still very young.. My heart is always not complete not with them while I’m working away for them...

I watched all of your videos that is crying related.. I'm out of tears now. My eyes are swollen

The silence and the sobbing was the best part of this video.i was like silently crying as well.i just missed you ladies..i was living in the city here in ph the moment this video was uploaded.then i am now living outside the city i am still watching this video over and over again.same feeling.same favorite reactor different places.same tears.😢😢💟👍

You made me cry again 😭 You two are my fav mom reactors..I always look forward watching emotional videos with you.

am an ofw father also, yes i can give anything my daughter asks, but the most important thing that i cant ever give is memory and time. ever since i left, every time i go home, it felt like i just went through a time machine. now shes grown up. love you anak!!!

There are 2.2 Million plus Filipino OFWs. My dad was one of them before so I can relate with the child. He comes home every two years. I cant remember him spending Christmas or New Years. Then before he retired I became one of the OFW.

That's a real big fact to the filipinos.working abroad

I hate you ladies for making me cry, your reaction made my room flooded with tears

I knew this was coming...and I remember warning you to get ready for this... I was laughing and crying at the same time while watching this...laughing because I knew this will happen...tearing up because of the message...and I saw that you were doing the same, laughing and tearing up at the same time...😥😁 I think what I love as well in your channel are the storytelling and how we can relate as well... Happy Holidays... Cheers!💖

Wow! I love your honest approach.

Dreaming of giving them the best life they could have sad part we have to leave them and work far away .for the time being away is a very sad part...

Your reactions are so sad and at the same time funny. Now Joy has to come up with something happy to appease you both :D

I love u both...ur so inspiring to us...😊😊 More more powers

As always, best reactions ♥

i cried with you girls

That's the undefeated Filipino spirit. We laugh and we cry and we sacrifice and willing to suffer for our family.

Tearrrryyy eyes again.. God bless

I feel that kid, coz my Parents work also outside philippines when i was young.

Respect to this two ladies

Damn!!why im crying too

Oh my god! My fellow countrymen really loves you guys to cry hahaha...✌️✌️✌️...

Please don’t cry. I can relate.

And that's the reality as an OFW... welcome to our world.

If I can only give this a hundred thumbs up, i will 100++++++++ 👍👍👍👍👍

I've been watching ur videos for over a year now but this vid touched me so much that i get to wonder why i haven't subscribed to ur channel yet...and so, yeah... new subscriber here 😍 ...i really admire ur being sincere & sensible 😍

I feel you guys....

It touched me coz I experienced it and it was so emotional for me and my wife too.We are so grateful for them that we are able to finish our studies after all their sacrifices and now its us serving them.Payback time for their sacrifices.but still so sad about the others especially those left behind....

I am also crying cause my aunt spent 4 - 6 yrs away from her children (my cousins) cause she is working as OFW (house maide) in hongkong. I can feel how the boy is feeling cause I can see on my cousins but still she raised them good.

Love the reaction ❤

You two make me cry not the movie oh

As an OFW we have to sacrifice for our family back home and life away from your loved ones is painful and sad but this is the only to give them a good future because parents does not want to see their children without their future.

the HURT part of this!! your SON saying PLEASE DONT LEAVE AGAIN, CANT YOU PLEASE JUST STAY!! but YOU DONT HAVE A CHOICE so SAD :(

It's a sad reality that millions of Overseas Filipino Workers is experiencing that,now everyone realized how hard for them to be far away from their family though we Filipinos is known for being family centered
