In this episode, I revisit two OFW stories that profoundly shaped how I understand many of the themes we often explore on this podcast. The cases of Flor Contemplacion and Sarah Balabagan — two Filipina domestic workers whose names became symbols of injustice, sacrifice, and national reckoning in the 1990s — shook the Philippines and made global headlines. Their stories exposed the harsh realities faced by many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), and the ways systemic failure, diplomacy, and public outcry collide.Sources are <a href="https://lagimpodcast.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-stories-of-flor-contemplacion-and.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.Support me through gifts and donations at <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/juzewoba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BuyMeCoffee</a>.To never miss any Lagim update, please <a href="https://mailchi.mp/eb04c282e27f/sign-up-for-the-lagim-podcast-newsletter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sign up to my newsletter</a>.LAGIM is on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lagimpodcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TikTok</a>, so make sure to check me out:Subscribe to <a href="https://bit.ly/3rFdWCg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LAGIM's YouTube channel</a>:Follow, rate and review LAGIM on <a href="https://apple.co/3r3XjzT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Podcasts</a> and <a href="https://spoti.fi/3qamBxl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spotify</a>:Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lagim-a-filipino-true-crime-podcast--5701073/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lagim-a-filipino-true-crime-podcast--5701073/support</a>.
