Pinay OFW Writes Funny Message on her Balikbayan Box
An overseas Filipino worker (OFW) from Davao City is gaining attention on social media for the hilariously blunt message she wrote on her balikbayan box, which she will be sending to her family in the Philippines.
The message has been widely shared and has brought laughter to netizens across the country.
The OFW, Gin Yang, shared that she wrote the message based on her personal experiences. She wanted to inject some humor into her gesture of sending the balikbayan box and give her family and friends a good laugh when they receive it.
The message on the box reads, “Oh, kinsa’y maka relate diha? Sa mga silignan nga hait og mga mata, wa lang ‘say chocolate ha?” (Oh, who can relate to this? To those with squinty eyes, no chocolates for you, okay?”)
Yang’s playful and straightforward message struck a chord with many netizens who could relate to her humor and the shared experiences of receiving balikbayan boxes.
Balikbayan boxes are a traditional way for OFWs to send various items, gifts, and essentials to their loved ones back home. These boxes often contain a mix of food items, clothing, gadgets, and other surprises that bring joy and excitement to the recipients.
The message highlights the familiarity and banter that often exists among Filipino families. It showcases the lightheartedness and unique sense of humor that Filipinos possess, even when they are thousands of miles away from each other.
Despite the physical distance, the Pinay OFW wanted to bridge the gap by sending a funny message that would make her family feel her presence and love.
