Israel is home to thousands of caregivers with 40% of them Filipinos.
— As sirens blare and rocket bombs fill the air in Ashkelon City in the southern part of Israel, Filipino caregiver"Lance" takes solace in an underground shelter with his 93-year-old employer.
But what appears to be an innocent singing could spell danger for Lance and his Israeli ward as tensions rise between Israel forces and militant group Hamas. “Mas grabe po ito," he said."Last time rockets lang talaga, ngayon ang pangamba mo may takot ka na sa rockets, may possibility pa na pumasok ang terorista, namamahay-mahay na sila.”
“Wala pang kuryente noon ang dilim, kapa-kapa lang, sabi niya sa akin huwag mo kong iwanan natatakot siya," he recalled."Sad lang kasi anytime hindi mo masabi ano mangyayari."
