Sa mga Pilipino sa Pinas na may breadwinner family member sa Dubai at UAE, magtipid-tipid na kayo. Kung may panahon ng ginhawa, ngayon ay panahon ng hinagpis. You need to adjust. Daang libo na ang jobless ngayon na Kabayan at walang sasahurin next month. Literal. Malaki yung possibility na isa na do'n yung kapamilya ninyo pero hindi lang makapagsabi sa inyo dahil takot silang makulong at bawal ang negative news maski sa chat. Sobrang hirap ng sitwasyon ngayon doon. Walang turismo gawa ng gyera. One by one ay nagsasarado na yung mga establishments all over the city, bawal lang ibalita. No work, no pay. Ultimo yung huling sahod nila for this month ay delayed na rin. Ano yung punto ko? Hirap na hirap ngayon yung kamag-anak niyo do'n. Tigilan niyo kakahingi ng pera na para bang may patago kayo. Gumawa kayo ng paraan diyan. Huwag niyo silang pigain. Umayos kayo. Ngayon niyo maa-appreciate lahat ng tulong at sakripisyo na ginawa nila para sa inyo matapos niyo silang abusuhin for how many years.

“Magtipid-tipid na kayo.”
Christian Albert Gaza sends strong message to families of OFWs
Social media personality Xian Gaza is making waves online after posting a blunt and emotional message directed at Filipinos in the Philippines who rely on family members working in Dubai and other parts of the UAE.
In his now-viral post, Xian spoke candidly about the struggles many overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are currently facing, especially amid ongoing economic difficulties affecting jobs and businesses abroad.
“Sa mga Pilipino sa Pinas na may breadwinner family member sa Dubai at UAE, magtipid-tipid na kayo. Kung may panahon ng ginhawa, ngayon ay panahon ng hinagpis. You need to adjust.”
He claimed that a large number of Filipinos have already lost their jobs and may be silently dealing with it, unable to tell their families back home due to fear and pressure.
Xian also pointed out the worsening situation in the UAE, citing the decline in tourism and the closure of many establishments, which has led to a “no work, no pay” reality for many workers.
“Sobrang hirap ng sitwasyon ngayon doon. Walang turismo gawa ng g1y3ra. One by one ay nagsasara na yung mga establishments. No work, no pay.”
He ended his message with a strong reminder for families in the Philippines to be more mindful, urging them to stop depending too much on their relatives abroad and to learn how to stand on their own.
