She's underpaid. That's below the minimum.

Not Luzon,,,,,,Mindanao is quite different,,,,1 special child we have now,,,,,,,,not many people from Mindanao get to come to Canada,,,,,,most immigrants are from the manila area or Cebu that are here in my area,,,,,too me most immigrants that come here are the ones who had the better of life in phils,,,,you need money to be able to immigrate,,,,just the paperwork is so costly
