In Pyramid Hill, Victoria, the local piggery recruited skilled workers from the Philippines. The town was quick to jump into action to support them, offering the newcomers a fresh start and a fair go. The community even stepped up to raise funds to reunite one family who couldn’t afford to bring their three eldest children to Australia.

The great thing about Filipinos is that they easily integrate into society. They have traditional Judeo Christian values. They work hard. They don't push for political office. They speak English. They are sociable. They are loyal. They are humble. They don't complain. They aren't unreasonably demanding. They don't seek to change the local culture. Imo, one of the most ideal immigrants groups.

This sort of thing needs to become more and more common in Australia as we need the labour and people living in our country towns. I have so many nephews in the Phils that can work in the country jobs but the cost and redtape just make it so difficult. This really needs to change.

When you are a foreigner to a certain country, your worst enemy is homesickness. Being away from your love-ones, friends and the familiar faces and the easiness of speaking your own language, can make you question yourself if what you have done is worth it all. But when you have a community as welcoming and warm as this, it makes you feel like you are not an outsider and you are accepted into their culture. Thank you for that. I am so happy for my Kababayans.

This is so heart-warming to hear. I'm surprised I hadn't heard about this until now. I'm a Filipino who recently moved here in Australia from France. I honestly feel Filipinos and Aussies would get along because we both seem like very fun people. We Filipinos are religious and family-oriented and hospitable whilst Aussies are compassionate and are mostly really kind as well. So it's really nice to see the Aussie values as seen like here. We fit in in a very community-driven places so I think the Fernandez family fitting in is nothing surprising. Cheers to the wonderful Aussies that helped them out!

This has been the same story for the town of Winton In the South Island of New Zealand. Australia and New Zealand need these people, They are hard workers, loyal and dedicated to the work, that frankly Aussie and Kiwis are not always prepared to work at. These Pinays need to get a better life, than that which they have in the Philippines. When they get to both our countries, then they will blossom and prosper. I have seen it done time and time again . I applaud Tom for taking a chance and hope that the rest of the towns in Victoria will also consider these people

Out of all immigrants who go and try their luck in Australia, I think the Filipinos are the best ones(apologies for other nationalities). They are humble, hard working, peaceful, fun, nurturing and most importantly kind. I really don't get it why the immigration law seems to tighten work and visa applications to these people. Why would you give them a hard time getting visa's if their ultimate goal is just to live a life of peace and contribute to the Australian society? Great people deserve a good nation and i think Filipinos are the way to go. Lovely people indeed!

Filipinos in the USA considered model citizens cause we dont complain and we assimilate into ANY town quietly. Sometimes its a disadvantage because we get taken advantage of but filipino culture is all about living in harmony regardless of race & religion.
