The voice of Filipino woman C

I first came to Japan in the 1990s. It was sad to be away from my family, but I decided to work here to help them because they were suffering from poverty.

I've been married to my Filipino husband for 18 years, and we have two children in Japan. They are currently in the second year of junior high school and the fifth grade of elementary school, respectively.

Japan is so lively, and there are so many things to see; I was overwhelmed from my first impression. I think it's a wonderful country.

If you plan to live in Japan for many years, you will have to adapt to Japanese culture, which is not easy. For example, in addition to getting used to the food culture, you will also need to study Japanese.

I've had all sorts of experiences, both good and bad, while living in Japan, and those experiences are what have shaped who I am today.I encourage you all to believe in yourselves and do your best.
