Sad but True

This is quite sad because OFWs from Middle countries are not bringing chocolates, jewelry, or shoes when they go home for vacation. 

Instead, Filipinos are going home with bags of onions in lieu of the usual Toblerone, Kitkat, and M and M's that are regular fixtures of their luggage. And when they send balikbayan boxes, bags of onions become the piece d' resistance - the main showpiece of the box.
