Successful Adobong Mani Story of an OFW Emmanuel Rabulan
Every time, every place, and every person have its own unique story, in this case, the adobong mani. Some may be a story of success or failure. But many of you will think that success is always alongside a failure.
Many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) have gone to many hardships and sacrifices in life just to give their family a better future. Like this story of Emmanuel Rabulan OFW in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia who works hard stumbled in life and rise again.
Many of our Kababayans (kindred Filipinos) abroad sell roasted nut in Al Batha market. From there, we have one of our kababayan with his example of overcoming adversity in the wake of vanquishing life’s troubles.
Born and raised in Victoria, Oriental Mindoro Emmanuel Rabulan, an OFW working in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as a janitor at the Riyadh Military Hospital Bldg. 60 since December 28, 2009. His marriage to Nemianita was honored with four delightful youngsters, in particular, April Rose, 16 yrs. old, Kobe John, 12 yrs. old, Julius Christian, 9yrs. old and Paul Eman, 4yrs. old.
Emmanuel’s job at the Riyadh Military clinic as a janitor begins at 6 am and wraps up at 2 pm. After his duties, he cooks roasted nut and offers it at Batha showcase each evening from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm on weekdays and prior amid weekends (Thursdays and Fridays). The delicacy is sold at five riyals for every three packs.
Before he attempted his fortunes in the oil-rich Saudi Arabia, he and his wife had a fruit stand in Fairview where they acquire at least P10,000.00 for each day. From this business, the couple could procure a smaller van to bail them out with their business. One day, an open door for Emmanuel to work in Italy came. Seeking a superior future, the couple sold their fruit stand and minivan to pay for his application and for the preparation of his papers. Much to his dismay that this entire greener field guarantee was a scam, he was hoodwinked by an illicit recruiter. The greater part of the couple’s well-deserved cash was run with the wind. Emmanuel attempted his fortunes again and this time in Qatar with a visit visa. He acted as low maintenance utility man in a restaurant for three months accepting 10 Qatari Riyals for each hour. In the event that he gets fortunate, he works up to 15 hours at the restaurant just to gain more. He retreated to the Philippines after his visit visa lapsed.
Seeing his kids in a troublesome circumstance baffles him considerably a lot. He needed to send them to school and give them a decent life as any guardian would long for their kids. Once more, a tireless Emmanuel connected for abroad through an organization and that is the means by which he set foot in Saudi Arabia. A compensation of 700 Saudi Riyals for each month or approximately 8,000 Pesos in Philippine cash is insufficient to bolster his family back home. A portion of his agreement is a free convenience, however, he needs to pay for his own particular food. With this small pay, he figured out how to expand his wage by offering adobong mani or roasted nut at Al Batha market.
At in the first place, he kept his sideline work from his family until his sibling who likewise worked in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia saw him selling roasted peanuts to his Kababayan in the business sector. This is the point at which his family back home realized that Emmanuel is striving to acquire additional pay for his family’s better future.
Emmanuel sold 200 packs equivalent to 300.00 SR a day on weekdays and 500 or more packs amid weekends equivalent to 700.00 SR a day or more. Presently, his sideline occupation is giving his family an agreeable life back home, path more than what his janitorial employment is putting forth him. Right now, Emmanuel is putting something aside for a major astonishment for his wife when he returns home one year from now, a bank account.
Emmanuel is a yarn of an OFWs battle and accomplishment from being defrauded by an illicit recruiter, properties lost yet he got the pieces once more, stood up, kept his confidence and determination to discover his way in this world brimming with rivalry just to give his family a brilliant future.
Being an OFW is difficult. One might get fortunate, one might get a different way. The battles of Filipinos working abroad are the pining to go home, the need to feel the affection and backing of their families back home and the yearning to dependably hear the voices of their friends and family. Overseas Filipino Workers are resolved, solid willed, objective situated people that are the reason, whatever difficulties that go along our way, we generally discover approaches to beat the trials of life however on occasion, human as we seem to be, we once in a while feel the world slamming around us yet Faith in the Lord our God is the thing that makes us going.
