Maja Salvador Salutes OFWs in New Series Filmed in Dubai
by Staff Report
Kapamilya actress Maja Salvador commended the sacrifices and heroism of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) as she leads the cast of the TFC digital series, “Hinahanap-hanap Kita.”
The eight-episode series was shot in Dubai for 10 days where they met OFWs while filming the project.
“Sobrang malaki silang inspirasyon sa amin lalo na nu’ng nagshoot kami duon. Mahirap ang malayo sa pamilya at ang pa ulit-ulit ang pagtratrabaho kahit pagod na pagod ka na,” Maja told Manila Bulletin.
The story talks aboutHelen (Maja) who followed her husband in Dubai after losing communication with him.
Maja sought the help of her friends in searching for her husband (Geoff Eigenmann, Hannah Ledesma, Pamu Pamorada, Pepepe Herrera) who are all Dubai workers.
Helen’s adventure also became a journey of self-discovery among her friends.
“Pag nag-share ang mga OFWs ng mgs storya nila, ‘di namin maiwasan maka-relate and maging affected sa kwento nila. Mahirap malayo sa pamilya at walang may gustong malayo sa pamilya pero dahil sa hirap ng buhay natin dito sa Pilipinas ginawa nila yon,” Maja recalled.
The ‘Killer Bride’ star also shared one of the most unforgettable stories from the OFWs there.
“Meron du’n kwento ng isang character du’n, ‘yung nurse, na lahat ng pamilya niya, magkakasama na sila du’n sa Dubai. Pero hindi pa siya nakakapagbigay ng oras sa mga anak niya. May trahedyang nangyari at sinisisi niya ‘yung sarili niya,” she shared.
“Grabe, kahit kasama mo na pamilya mo, hindi pa rin kayo nagkikita dahil grabe ang oras na kinakain ng trabaho,” Maja added.
The Kapamilya leading lady said that “Hinahanap-hanap Kita” is both an OFW story and love story.
