“Halos gumuho mundo ko.” This was what an alleged single mom applicant said when she was considered “failed” for an employer’s interview after being hounded at the “ Wattah Wattah” Festival in San Juan City . Facebook user Rod Lina on Sunday shared screengrabs taken from a Facebook group that featured a lengthy post by an anonymous member about her experience at the city’s “basaan” tradition on June 24.
“Halaaa! Grabe, tsk!” Rod commented on her caption. Her post has reached 79,000 pure sad reactions, 6,000 comments and 59,000 shares. In the account, the anonymous member said she is “facing depression” after having an unpleasant experience at the water festival which she had no knowledge of.
She said she decided to apply for a job overseas since she is the only one supporting her family. The single mom said that applying for requirements like the National Bureau of Investigation clearance, transcript of records and other documents was not a piece of cake, saying that she only got through them due to her perseverance and by God’s grace. She said that she applied to several agencies for jobs in Europe, adding that she only received an email for an initial interview after almost a year.
The single mom said she was eventually called for an employer interview on June 24, which elated her. According to her, only eight of them passed the initial interview. She said she borrowed formal attire and shoes for the occasion and secured her original documents .
