DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — For a 34-year-old single mother who grew up in a remote barangay and was only able to finish high school, living underground in a big city can be nightmarish.“Patago-tago ako ,” said Dolly Bordones of Capiz. “Hindi ako nakakatulog nang maayos sa gabi. Sobrang hirap at may takot na parang nasa kulungan ka ,” she added.Keeping her awake almost all night, said Bordones, was the nagging thought about what the next day might bring.
She can also come back to the UAE and start over again with a clean slate, which she said she intends to do.But for now, all that Bordones has are stars in her eyes, excited to see her three daughters whom she left at the care of her mother. She doesn’t have gifts, or pasalubong, for them, though.“Tanging sarili ko lang ang dala ko sa kanila na makita nila ako na buhay ,” she said. Like most overstayers in the UAE, Bordones didn’t tell her kids, nor mother, that she had gone into hiding.
