Filipino Women Singing in Victoria Park on Their Rest Day
Watch
There are thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of Filipino women to come to work in Hong Kong. Most of them seem to work as housekeepers (they also come to Taiwan). This video shows the diversity and beauty of a Sunday stroll in Hong Kong's Victoria Park. Hundred of Filipinos come to play cards, chat with there friends, and... well, sing! I took this video on my Nikon Coolpix camera. I tried to make it as interesting to watch as possible. I hate zooms on these kind of videos, because zooms can seem amateurish. So I faked a tracking shot to the right. Notice a little self-reflexive content here, with two of the singers smiling at me and laughing, either shyly or just joyfully!
