The Stories of Flor Contemplacion and Sarah Balabagan

  • Resumen

  • In this episode, I revisit two OFW stories that profoundly shaped how I understand many of the themes we often explore on this podcast. The cases of Flor Contemplacion and Sarah Balabagan — two Filipina domestic workers whose names became symbols of injustice, sacrifice, and national reckoning in the 1990s — shook the Philippines and made global headlines. Their stories exposed the harsh realities faced by many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), and the ways systemic failure, diplomacy, and public outcry collide.
