00:00These are the amazing stories about the OFWs who are also farmers.
00:04We chose to work in dairy farming because that's the reason why my husband is here.
00:12I don't feel any stress here in the dairy farm.
00:15And from the land down under, Australia.
00:19I'm Eds Bunyo, 39 years old, Tubong, Barotap, Nuevo, Iloilo.
00:24I'm a proud dairy farm worker here in Australia.
00:31Eds and her family have been in Australia for 4 years.
00:36Her husband, Joe Ed, is also a dairy farmer.
00:39He's an agriculture graduate.
00:41We chose to work in dairy farming because that's the reason why my husband is here.
00:48I don't feel any stress here in the dairy farm.
00:52And I enjoy what I do.
00:55I went through a lot of adjustments.
00:59Winter is such a struggle for me.
01:02It's very cold every morning.
01:05My husband's employer is just one of us.
01:08We're luckier than him because he's kind.
01:11During the calving season, he gave us calves to take care of.
01:16When they grow up, we'll sell them.
01:21But now, Eds is just doing her job at the farm.
01:25We work for 38 hours a day.
01:29The calves come from a herd of cows.
01:36They give birth there.
01:39We go there and take the calves to the calf shed.
01:48When I see the calves, I'll show you what I do.
01:55They're slowly getting closer to the feeder.
01:58They're now able to feed 650 calves.
02:09Eds is also happy to see her husband working as a dairy farmer.
02:14They prefer working as Filipinos
02:17because they know us very well.
02:20Christmas is just around the corner.
02:22Don't they miss the Philippines?
02:24The last time I went back to the Philippines was last 2019.
02:30The last time I went back to the Philippines was Christmas Eve.
02:35It was a good night.
02:36It was a good time for the family to get together.
02:39I miss my family.
02:41I miss my husband.
02:43I miss my family.
02:45I miss my husband.
02:48To our family in Iloilo,
02:51we'll see you again on our next vacation.
02:54Take care.
03:17You
